[¶1] Denny Belisle appeals from the trial court's judgment and denial of his motion for a new trial under Rule 59(b)(1), (2), and (6), N.D.R.Civ.P. Belisle brought a personal injury action against Joel Dana Gibson and his employer, Tri-Drywall, Inc. (collectively "Gibson") for injuries he sustained as a result of a car accident. After trial, the jury returned a verdict finding Gibson was not negligent. Belisle argues the jury verdict is against the weight of the evidence showing Gibson was negligent, and the trial court abused its discretion in denying the motion for new trial.
