Jim Bishop Chevrolet-Buick-Pontiac-Gmc, Inc. v. Michael Andy Burden and Tina Burden

Summary

The Alabama Supreme Court reversed the jury verdicts for the Burdens and entered judgment for Jim Bishop, granting Bishop’s motion for judgment as a matter of law. The Court held that the Burdens failed to present expert testimony establishing a breach of duty to repair or to warn of a hazardous condition, and therefore could not meet the elements of negligence.
