1Opinion of the Court
OWEN, WILLIAM C., Jr. (Retired), Associate Judge.
A vehicle operated by Mrs. Gottlieb struck the rear of a vehicle operated by Mr. Thomas. He alleged permanent injury. His wife claimed derivative damages. The jury’s verdict found Mrs. Gottlieb eighty percent (80%) at fault. However, despite the uncontroverted expert testimony that Mr. Thomas had sustained a permanent injury from the accident, and despite a pretrial stipulation that the no fault threshold was not at issue, the verdict awarded zero damages to both Mr. Thomas and his wife. We reverse the judgment entered on that verdict.
