Coburn v. American Liberty Ins. Co.

This appeal, from defendants' judgments in consolidated personal injury suits, challenges two adverse rulings by the trial Judge:

1. The granting of motions for a directed verdict on behalf of two of the three defendants; and

2. The overruling of plaintiffs' motion to amend the pre-trial order to dissolve the severance of the issues of liability and damages previously ordered pursuant to Rule 42 (b), ARCP. We find no error as to either ruling; therefore, we affirm.

Louis and Ada Coburn sued Martin Supply Company, Johnny Willis, an employee of Martin, and the American Liberty Insurance Company.…
