KINSER, Justice.

In this wrongful death action, the dispositive question to be decided on appeal is whether the circuit court erred in remitting portions of a jury verdict for the plaintiff. Because we conclude that the circuit court failed to consider the evidence relevant to damages in the light most favorable to the plaintiff, we will reverse the judgment of the circuit court and reinstate the jury verdict.
