Gunnels v. Roach

Supreme Court of South Carolina

1Opinion of the Court

Brailsford, Justice.

This is an action for personal injuries sustained by an eight-year-old boy when he ran from between cars parked diagonally at a curb and into the right rear door of a passing automobile driven by the defendant. The latter appeals from an adverse judgment, charging that the court erred in submitting the issue of liability to the jury. The sole question on this appeal is whether the evidence, in the light most favorable to plaintiff, is sufficient to support an inference that the defendant was guilty of actionable negligence in any of the particulars alleged in the complaint.
