Reginald Person, Jr., et al. v. Carol Shipley
Date and Time:
THU, DEC 8, 2011 at 9:45 AM
Case Number:
20S04-1110-CT-609
Case Summary:
After Shipley's sedan rear-ended Person's eighteen-wheel semi-tractor trailer, Person filed a personal injury action against Shipley in the Elkhart Superior Court. During the trial, over Person's object, expert witnesses called by Shipley testified about the causal relationship between the impact and Person's alleged injuries. The jury returned a verdict for Shipley. The Court of Appeals reversed, concluding the trial court abused its discretion in admitting the expert opinion evidence. Person v. Shipley, 949 N.E.2d 386 (Ind. Ct. App. 2011), vacated. The Supreme Court has granted a petition to transfer the case and has assumed jurisdiction over the appeal.
Counsel:
Douglas A. Mulvaney, for the Appellant
Deborah Kapitan, for the Appellee
