Description
Plaintiff W. J. Hammer, Jr., recovered a judgment on a jury verdict for $25,000 for personal injuries arising out of a two-car collision. The jury found that Dallas Transit Companys bus driver was negligent in traveling on the wrong side of the road which proximately caused the collision between Hammers vehicle and defendants bus. The Court of Civil Appeals, in reversing the judgment of the trial court, held that plaintiffs issue "traveling on the wrong side of the road" was global; the evidence conclusively shows that defendants bus was out of control; and the defendant was under no burden to prove that its bus was excusably out of control. 390 S.W.2d 823. We reverse the judgment of the Court of Civil Appeals.
