Windom v. Colquitt County

This was a suit against a county for damage to an automobile, alleged to have been caused by the negligence of the county in maintaining a defective bridge on a public highway. The facts of the case, as stated in the petition, failed to show any actionable negligence on the part of the county. Furthermore, the petition, properly construed (most strongly against the plaintiff), clearly showed that the plaintiff, by the exercise of ordinary care, could have avoided the injuries sued for. The court properly dismissed the petition, on general demurrer. Judgment affirmed.-
