Steven Kempson v. Pamela Casey, - DISSENTING

IN THE COURT OF APPEALS OF TENNESSEE

AT KNOXVILLE

June 22, 2016 Session

STEVEN KEMPSON ET AL. V. PAMELA CASEY ET AL.

Appeal from the Circuit County Hamilton Court No. 12C873, 12C1138 W. Neil Thomas, III, Judge

________________________________ No. E2015-02184-COA-R3-CV FILED-NOVEMBER 2, 2016 _________________________________ CHARLES D. SUSANO, JR., J., dissenting.

I cannot concur in the majority’s decision. The issue of whether the collision of the vehicles “caused damage to the Plaintiffs” was fairly presented to the jury. The jury rejected the Plaintiffs’ theory that Mr. Kempson was injured in the accident. I would affirm the jury’s verdict in toto. Accordingly, I respectfully dissent from the majority’s decision to remand for a new trial on damages.
