Southern Oil Transportation Co. v. Asphalt & Petroleum Co.

Supreme Court of North Carolina
Southern Oil Transportation Co. v. Asphalt & Petroleum Co., 258 N.C. 209 (N.C. 1962)
128 S.E.2d 214; 1962 N.C. LEXIS 655

Southern Oil Transportation Co. v. Asphalt & Petroleum Co.

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

The only evidence was that offered by plaintiff; and this evidence, when considered in the light most favorable to plaintiff, *210was sufficient to support the jury’s finding that plaintiff’s damage was proximately caused by the negligence of defendants as alleged in the complaint. Moreover, it does not appear therefrom that Freeman, plaintiff’s employee-driver, was guilty of contributory negligence as a matter of law.

No error.
