Shannon Dale Welch ("Welch") and Stacy Ann Brooks ("Brooks") were the only two occupants in an automobile traveling at a high rate of speed when it collided with a vehicle driven by Rhandie Parker ("Parker"). Parker's brother-in-law, Hershel D. Williams ("Williams"), was a passenger in his vehicle. As a result of the accident, Parker claimed $27,100 in property damage, medical expenses of $8,241.52, and personal injuries. Williams claimed medical expenses totaling $9,545.38 and personal injuries. Parker's wife, Janice Parker ("Ms. Parker"), asserted a claim for loss of consortium. A jury returned a verdict against Welch in favor of Parker for $35,000, and awarded Ms. Parker nothing. Williams was awarded $29,000. All three Plaintiffs appeal with the primary issue being the adequacy of the verdict. We affirm.
