Hughes v. Hooper

Utah Supreme Court

Decided September 21, 1967No. 10700PublishedCited by 7 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

CALLISTER, Justice.

This is an action for personal injuries and automobile damage arising out of an intersection collision. The jury returned a verdict of no cause of action predicated upon its finding that plaintiff, Hughes, was guilty of contributory negligence in failing to keep a proper lookout. Judgment was entered accordingly and plaintiff appeals therefrom.

Plaintiff contends that the evidence does not sustain the verdict and that the trial court should have granted his motion for a directed verdict rather than submit the question of his contributory negligence to the jury.
