Browning v. Hickman (Signed Opinion)
Annotate this CaseThe parties in this litigation were involved in an automobile collision at an intersection. Each driver claimed to have the right-of-way at the time of the collision. Plaintiff filed suit against Defendant alleging negligence. After a trial, the jury returned a verdict in favor of Defendant. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the circuit court did not abuse its discretion in (1) denying Plaintiff’s motion for a mistrial or recess based upon the admission of a 911 call regarding the accident; and (2) denying Plaintiff’s motion for a new trial based upon both the admission of the 911 call and the exclusion of the opinion of the police officer dispatched to the accident on fault in the accident report.
