Summary:
McLemore Law PLLC obtained a directed verdict in favor of defendant Gwendolyn Turner in a motor vehicle accident case tried in Wilson County. The plaintiff failed to present sufficient evidence of damages, and the court ruled that Turner was entitled to judgment as a matter of law, ending the case before the defense presented its witnesses.
Description:
Case Name: Brittany Butler v. Gwendolyn Turner
Court: General Sessions Court for Wilson County, Tennessee at Lebanon
Case No.: 2022-CV-2742
The case involved a November 30, 2021, vehicle collision in which Brittany Butler claimed Gwendolyn Turner negligently sideswiped her vehicle, causing personal injuries and property damage. Turner denied fault, arguing that Butler had actually caused the accident by failing to maintain proper attention while driving.
During the May 11, 2023 trial, the plaintiff presented testimony from herself and the defendant, then rested her case. Before calling any defense witnesses, McLemore Law PLLC moved for a directed verdict, contending that the plaintiff had not submitted adequate proof of her alleged damages. The court agreed and entered a judgment in favor of Gwendolyn Turner, fully dismissing the case.
