1Opinion of the Court
Mercier, Judge.
*606 Augustus King sued the Georgia Department of Corrections ("the Department") for negligence after his hand was injured at the Whitworth Parole Revocation Center ("Whitworth"). The trial court directed a verdict for the Department following the close of evidence at trial. King appeals, and we reverse.
A trial court may direct a verdict "only if there is no conflict in the evidence as to any material issue and the evidence introduced, with all reasonable deductions therefrom, shall demand a particular verdict."
