Text: Before an appellate court can disturb an award made by a trial court, the record must clearly reveal that the trier of fact abused its discretion in making its award. La.Civ.Code art. 1934(3); Carollo v. Wilson, 353 So.2d 249 (La.1977); Coco v. Winston Industries, Inc., 341 So.2d 332 (La. 1976); Anderson v. Welding Testing Laboratory, 304 So.2d 351 (La.1974). Our review of the record reveals that both plaintiff and her daughter received minor injuries. Accordingly, we do not find that the jury abused its much discretion in finding that plaintiff was entitled to $1,000.00 and Carolyn $2,500.00 for their injuries.
