Dixon v. Blackwell
Annotate this Case
Dixie Dixon was injured in an automobile accident when a car driven by Joshua Paul Blackwell ran a red light. She sued and received a verdict that was lower than Blackwell's Alaska Civil Rule 68 offer of judgment. On appeal she challenged the adequacy of the verdict and the efficacy of the offer of judgment. Because the jury's verdict was not inadequate, the offer Blackwell made was a valid Rule 68 offer, and the judgment finally rendered by the court was at least five percent less favorable to Dixon than the offer, the Supreme Court affirmed the superior court's judgment.
