What is the test for overturning a final ruling in a personal injury case?

Our review is limited to the trial court's ultimate ruling, not its interim rulings or its reasoning, and if the court properly admitted the evidence, we affirm. (See People v. Chism (2014) 58 Cal.4th 1266, 1295, fn. 12.) We review the ruling under the deferential abuse of discretion standard (People v. Avila (2014) 59 Cal.4th 496, 515), and we reverse only if the trial court's ruling was " 'arbitrary, capricious or patently absurd' " and caused a " 'manifest miscarriage of justice' " (People v. Rodrigues (1994) 8 Cal.4th 1060, 1124). Here the trial court did not err.
