Denman v. Spain

Betty Denman (plaintiff), who could not remember the accident, sued the estate of driver Joseph Ross for injuries from a highway collision on a rainy, foggy day, offering only a witness's testimony that Ross had earlier passed him at 75-80 mph while staying in his correct lane, with no eyewitnesses to the actual collision and no evidence about which side of the road it occurred on; the jury found for Denman, but the trial court granted the defendant's motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict.
