Buford v. Benton

Blackburn, Judge.

Margaret Perkins Buford sued George Benton for injuries sustained in a car wreck, claiming that such wreck was caused by Benton’s negligent driving. After trial, the jury returned a verdict in favor of Benton, and Buford appeals, claiming that the trial court (1) improperly failed to charge the jury on the doctrine of sudden emergency, (2) improperly excluded certain medical records from evidence, and (3) improperly excluded a summary of medical expenses and lost wages from evidence. For the reasons set forth below, we affirm the verdict.
