A motion to set aside a jury verdict and for judgment as a matter of law will be granted where there is no valid line of reasoning and permissible inferences which, based on the evidence presented, could possibly lead rational persons to the jury's conclusions. In considering the motion, the trial court must afford the opposing party every inference which may properly be drawn from the facts presented, and the facts must be considered in a light most favorable to the nonmovant.
