Reynolds v. American Oil Co.
Appellate Court of Illinois
Decided September 30, 1975No. 59881PublishedCited by 13 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtJustice Leighton
This litigation was begun by a truck driver who sued two oil companies for personal injuries he sustained at an oil refinery owned by one of them. The case was heard by a jury that returned a verdict in favor of the truck driver. After hearing a post-trial motion, the court ordered that judgment notwithstanding tire verdict be entered in favor of the oil company which was then the only defendant in the case. Alternatively and conditionally, it denied the company’s motion for a new trial. The issue in this appeal is whether the trial court erred in entering judgment notwithstanding the verdict.
