Court Reviews a Finding of No Fault in a Case Involving a Motor Vehicle Accident

BELLSOUTH TELECOMMUNICATIONS, INC. d/b/a AT&T (TN) v. SHUNDRA Y. YOUNG and MAUREEN F. KINSELLA (Tenn. Ct. App. June 21, 2011)

Plaintiff sued Defendants for damages arising from a motor vehicle accident. The trial court struck, from Defendants' answers, allegations regarding the comparative fault of an unidentified nonparty. However, the trial court allowed references to such nonparty at trial, and the jury assigned no fault to Defendants. Finding no error in the trial court's allowance, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
