SIMPSON, Justice.

The rule in Alabama for the measure of damages for the injury to a commercial vehicle is the damages which would remunerate the plaintiff for necessary repairs in substantially restoring the vehicle-to its former condition and the market value of its use or hire during the time required to make such repairs and fit it for business. Southern Ry. Co. v. Reeder, 152 Ala. 227, 236, 44 So. 699, 126 Am.St.Rep. 23; Plylar v. Jones, 207 Ala. 372, 92 So. 445. This seems to be the rule in most of the jurisdictions. 4 A.L.R. 1352, Annotation a; 1355 b; 78 A.L.R. 911, Annotation a, 912 b.
