In a car accident case where the jury found the defendant not liable, the Court of Appeals affirmed the verdict based partially on evidence from which the jury could have found the plaintiff not credible.

In Summerrow v. Welsh, No. E2023-00772-COA-R3-CV (Tenn. Ct. App. Aug. 23, 2024), plaintiff and defendant were involved in a car accident in a mall parking lot. A police officer who was called to the scene reported very minor damage to the vehicles, which were corner to corner on the front bumpers. Plaintiff did not report any injuries to the officer.

According to plaintiff, he began having neck and shoulder issues the day after the wreck that required various treatments over the following years. Plaintiff filed this personal injury suit based on this neck and shoulder injury.
