nonprevailing party of costs and fees.

In any action for damages for personal injury except injury

resulting in death, or in any action for damages to personal rights

the court shall, subsequent to adjudication on the merits and upon

motion of the prevailing party, determine whether a claim or defense

asserted in the action by a nonprevailing party was asserted in bad

faith, was not well grounded in fact, or was unwarranted by existing

law or a good faith argument for the extension, modification, or

reversal of existing law. Upon so finding, the court shall enter a

judgment ordering such nonprevailing party to reimburse the

prevailing party an amount not to exceed Ten Thousand Dollars

($10,000.00) for reasonable costs, including attorneys fees,

incurred with respect to such claim or defense.
