DELAPPE v. CRAIG

No. 9118DC878.

421 S.E.2d 171 (1992)

107 N.C. App. 618

Fred B. DELAPPE, Plaintiff, v. Thomas H. CRAIG, Sr. and Newton Transportation Company, Inc., Defendants.

Court of Appeals of North Carolina.

October 6, 1992.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Wyatt, Early, Harris, Wheeler & Hauser by Thomas E. Terrell, Jr., High Point, for plaintiff, appellant.

Henson Henson Bayliss & Sue by Gary K. Sue, and James H. Slaughter, Greensboro, for defendants, appellees.


HEDRICK, Chief Judge.

The sole question raised on appeal is whether the trial court erred in directing a verdict for defendants. Plaintiff argues that the evidence, when considered in the light most favorable to him, is sufficient to raise a question for the jury as to whether defendants were negligent in any way in the operation of their tractor-trailer rig and whether such negligence was a proximate cause of the damages done to plaintiff's building. We agree.
