Kao v. McKenzie

COLE, Judge.

This suit involves property damage done to an automobile. On September 10, 1977, a vehicle operated by the appellant, James J. McKenzie, struck the rear of an automobile owned by James T. F. Kao as they were traveling on Highland Road within the City of Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

Kao brought suit against McKenzie in the City Court for the City of Baton Rouge for the damages to his vehicle which amounted to $522.08. McKenzie thereafter answered and filed a third party claim against Merle D. Wiggins, alleging the accident was due to the negligence of that third party defendant.
