Johnstone v. Malone Office Equipment Co.

Beasley, Judge.

Following the denial of his motion for new trial, plaintiff John-stone appeals the judgment entered on the jury’s verdict in favor of defendant Malone Office Equipment Company, Inc. The suit is for personal injuries Johnstone claimed he suffered as a result of a rear-end collision between a vehicle in which he was a front-seat passenger and one driven by Malone’s employee.

1. Johnstone contends the court erred in failing to grant a directed verdict on liability. He also contends the verdict was contrary to evidence and law, as defendant’s employee clearly violated OCGA § 40-6-49.
