Jordan v. Ensley

Banke, Judge.

The appellant suffered severe brain damage when his automobile collided with an automobile being driven by the appellee. As a result, he lapsed into a coma from which he is not expected to recover. The appellee initiated this litigation by bringing suit against the appellant but voluntarily dismissed her claim prior to trial, apparently as the result of a settlement. The case then proceeded to trial on a counterclaim filed by the appellant’s father as next friend. The jury found in favor of the appellee, and the appellant appeals directly from the judgment entered on that verdict.
