Henry v. Butts

This personal injury case arises from a motor vehicle accident that occurred on May 9, 1988. The plaintiffs, Mary Hayes Henry and Susan Hayes Rogers, sued Randall Paul Butts, alleging that Butts had been negligent and wanton in operating his vehicle and that his negligence and wantonness had caused the accident.

At the close of all the evidence, the trial judge directed a verdict for Butts on the wantonness count, and the jury returned a verdict for Butts on the negligence count. The plaintiffs appeal from the resulting judgment for the defendant. We affirm.
