Kennedy v. McElroy
Supreme Court of Virginia
The opinion states the case.
1Opinion of the CourtBuchanan, J.
Dorothy Kennedy, herein called plaintiff, was injured when an automobile driven by Junius Clyde McElroy in which she was a guest collided with a stop sign at an intersection in Danville. She brought this action for damages against McElroy, herein called defendant, alleging that her injuries were caused by his gross negligence. A jury returned a verdict in her favor for $1,500 but the court set it aside and entered judgment for the defendant. The only issue on this writ of error is whether there was sufficient evidence of gross negligence to support the verdict.
