Bain v. Cormack Enterprises

SIMS, Justice. Appellee, Edward Hall, administrator of the estate of his infant daughter, Bonnie Louise Hall, sued Elbert Acres for $35,000 damages for her death alleged to have been caused by the negligence of appellant and for $625 for funeral expenses. The jury returned a verdict against appellant for $2,000 and he asks a reversal of the judgment entered thereon because the court erred in not directing a verdict in his favor at the conclusion of appellees evidence and at the conclusion of all the evidence. It is apparent that it becomes necessary to give a brief resume of the evidence in deciding whether or not the trial court erred in refusing to direct a verdict in behalf of appellant.
