Estate of Jason Jenkins

Case Number
M2003-01561-COA-R3-CV

This is a suit for personal injuries brought by the mother of a mentally challenged 17 year old boy occurring when his teacher attempted to transfer him from one chair to another and tripped over a nearby rocker. Neither his teacher nor the Defendant Nurse who immediately attended to him after the accident detected the fractured leg. Young Jason Jenkins died from causes unrelated to the accident, and his suit was revived against Defendants, Metropolitan Government of Nashville, Davidson County, Mary Ann Armbrister, and Lisa Morrow. The case was voluntarily dismissed as to Defendant teacher Ms. Armbrister, and a settlement was reached between Plaintiff and Metropolitan Government of Davidson County. The trial court sustained a Motion for Summary Judgment on behalf of Ms. Morrow from which Plaintiff appeals. We affirm the action of the trial court.
