Are appeals easy to overturn in a civil case verdict by jury?

Appeals in civil cases are generally not easy to overturn; appellate courts typically defer to the jury's findings unless there is a clear legal error or substantial evidence issue. The appellate process focuses on whether the trial was conducted fairly and according to the law, rather than re-evaluating the evidence. As a result, a successful appeal usually requires showing that the trial court made a significant mistake that affected the outcome.
