THE GOODYEAR TIRE RUBBER COMPANY v. VICKI LYNN ROGERS INDIVIDUALLY AND AS REPRESENTATIVE OF THE ESTATE OF CARL ROGERS NATALIE ROGERS AND COURTNEY DUGAT (2017)

SUPPLEMENTAL OPINION

In our opinion dated August 31, 2017, we suggested remittitur of $1,740,000 of the exemplary damages awarded to appellees Vicki Lynn Rogers, Natalie Rogers, and Courtney Dugat. We stated that if appellees filed the remittitur with fifteen days, we would modify the trial court's judgment to award appellees $1,150,000 in exemplary damages and affirm the judgment as modified.

On September 6, 2017, appellees filed their consent to the suggestion of remittitur. Accordingly, we vacate our judgment, but not our opinion, dated August 31, 2017, and modify the trial court's judgment to reflect the specified remittitur. The trial court's judgment is modified to award appellees exemplary damages in the amount of $1,150,000, apportioned among appellees according to the jury's findings. We affirm the trial court's judgment as modified. This Court's opinion of August 31, 2017, otherwise remains in effect.
