Janice F. Roberts vs. Stevie D. Davis, et al M2000-01974-COA-R3-CV Authoring Judge: Judge Don R. Ash Trial Court Judge: Walter C. Kurtz On May 17, 1995, Plaintiff Janice Roberts and her husband Max Nichols were involved in an automobile accident with the Defendant Food Lion, Inc. and their driver Stevie D. Davis. The accident occurred on Interstate 24. Plaintiff Roberts sued the Defendants in the Circuit Court of Davidson County seeking a recovery of $270,000 for injuries and various amounts of damages she sustained as a result of the accident. A bench trial was held on May 1, 2000. On May 4, 2000 the trial court by Memorandum and Order found that Plaintiff Roberts was entitled to recover $25,000 for reasonable and necessary medical expenses, pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life, and for some diminution in earning capacity. On June 2, 2000, Plaintiff Roberts filed a motion for new trial, which was subsequently denied by the trial court on July 7, 2000. This appeal followed. Plaintiff Roberts insists that the trial court erred in not granting a motion for continuance; not allowing the deposition testimony of a witness; in its award of damages; and by not allocating monies for future medical expenses.
