ISSUEWhether the Superior Court erred in refusing to sustain
the Defendant’s motion for a judgment of nonsuit
because of the Plaintiff’s intestate’s contributory
negligence?
Was the Plaintiff’s complaint defective?
Powers v. Sternberg, 213 N.C. 41,195 S.E. 88 (1947)
Hill v. Lopez, 228 N.C. 433, 45 S.E.2d 539 (1947)
Coylar v. Atlantic States Motor Lines, 56 S.E. 2d 647 (1949)
Citing Powers v. Sternberg, 213 N.C. 41,195 S.E. 88
(1947), the Defendants claim that the Court made an error
in refusing to sustain their motion for judgment as of
nonsuit on the ground that Mr. Nathan J. Bailey, the
deceased driver, was guilty of contributory negligence as a
matter of law.
and Dawson v. Seashore Transportation Co., N.C. 36, 51 S.E.2d 921 (1949): in order for the Court to consider such a motion, the evidence regarding the deceased driver would have to so clearly establish contributory negligence that no other reasonable conclusion could be drawn from the evidence presented.
and any such evidence the Defendants relied on to support their claim of negligence per se or prima facie negligence barred the Defendants from a motion for a judgment of nonsuit.
Also, the action for damages by the
Plaintiff was mentioned in the
summons which was filed within one
year of Mr. Bailey’s death. The
complaint does not have to allege
damages for Mr. Bailey’s death;
therefore, the complaint is not
defective.
Thank you.
