Lynward Jackson v. Joyce Allen & Billy Allen

This is a personal injury case. The plaintiff sued the defendants for back injuries he sustained in a car accident. The jury returned a verdict in favor of the plaintiff on several elements of damage, including damages for permanent injury and for future pain and future loss to enjoyment of life. The defendants moved for judgment notwithstanding the verdict on these elements of damage only. The trial judge denied the motion. The defendants now appeal. We affirm, finding that material evidence exists to support the jury's conclusion that the accident partially caused the plaintiff's injuries.
