Slabinski v. Dix, 138 Conn. 625, 629, 88 A.2d 115; Gondek v. Pliska, 135 Conn. 610, 617, 67 A.2d 552 . . . . Then too, denial by the trial court of a motion to set aside a verdict claimed to be excessive is entitled to weighty consideration. Adams v. Mohican Hotel, 124 Conn. 400, 403, 200 A. 336; Ganter v. MacKay, 120 Conn. 691, 692, 180 A. 310 . . . . It is with these principles in mind that this court must examine the defendant's claim that the amount of the verdict is exorbitant and unjust in the light of all the evidence. Such a claim raises a question of law.

Leonard, 113 Conn. 522, 525, 155 A. 637; Rutkowski v. Connecticut Light Power Co., 100 Conn. 49, 54, 123 A. 25. Then too, denial by the trial court of a motion to set aside a verdict claimed to be excessive is entitled to weighty consideration. Adams v. Mohican Hotel, 124 Conn. 400, 403, 200 A. 336; Ganter v., MacKay, 120 Conn. 691, 692, 180 A. 310; Briggs v. Becker, 101 Conn. 62, 64, 124 A. 826. It is with these principles in mind that this court must examine the defendant's claim that the amount of the verdict is exorbitant and unjust in the light of all the evidence. Such a claim raises a question of law.

The plaintiffs are entitled to recover full compensation for all damage proximately resulting from the defendant's negligence, even though their injuries are more serious than they would otherwise have been because of pre-existing physical or nervous conditions. Purcell v. St. Paul City Ry. Co., 48 Minn. 134, 139, 50 N.W. 1034; Baltimore City Pass. Ry. Co. v. Kemp, 61 Md. 74, 81; 15 Am. Jur. 488; and see Rinaldi v. Prudential Ins. Co., 118 Conn. 419, 424, 172 A. 777; Ganter v. MacKay, 120 Conn. 691, 692, 180 A. 310. Bearing that principle in mind, we must hold that while the damages awarded by the jury were, in both cases, large, they were not so clearly excessive as to justify the trial court in refusing to cause judgment to be entered upon the verdicts as rendered.

These arguments were all made to the trial court in support of the motion to set aside the verdict. Its conclusion that, in spite of these considerations, the verdict should stand, is entitled to great weight with us. Ganter v. MacKay, 120 Conn. 691, 692, 180 A. 310.
