Legal Opinion

Carlson v. House

Supreme Court of Colorado

Decided March 9, 1970No. 22516Published

1Opinion of the Court

Opinion by

Mr. Chief Justice McWilliams.

The issue to be resolved is whether the plaintiffs evidence in a negligence action arising out of a two-car rear-end collision was sufficient to carry the case to the jury. The trial court held that the plaintiff’s evidence was legally insufficient to warrant submission of the matter to the jury and granted the defendant’s motion to dismiss which had been interposed at the conclusion of plaintiff’s presentation of evidence. By this writ of error the plaintiff now seeks reversal of the judgment thus entered dismissing his claim for relief.
