Collins v. Mitchell

SMITH, Presiding Judge.

Jewell Collins was injured when she drove into the back of a tractor-trailer parked in the right lane of a five-lane road. Collins and her husband sued James Mitchell, the driver of the vehicle, and Home Depot, U. S. A., Inc. (Home Depot), its owner, for negligence and negligence per se. The jury returned a verdict for Mitchell and Home Depot, and judgment was entered in their favor. Collins’s motion for new trial was denied. The Collinses now appeal, arguing that the trial court erred in charging the jury and in its handling of evidence. We find no error and affirm.
