Text: A driver injured in a hit-and-run accident sued his car insurance company, claiming it had breached his insurance contract by failing to reasonably compensate him for his injuries. He later moved to amend his complaint to include racketeering, embezzlement, mail fraud, and bad faith claims, but the superior court denied the motion. A jury trial was held, and the jury returned a liability verdict that was smaller than the insurance company’s offer of judgment. The superior court ruled that the insurance company was the prevailing party and awarded attorney’s fees and costs. The driver appeals the denial of his motion to amend, the awarding of attorney’s fees and costs, and several of the court’s other procedural and evidentiary rulings. Because we see no abuse of discretion in the court’s rulings, we affirm the judgment.
