Koleen Ingalls v. Triple L., Inc.

Negligence - Automobile Accident - Semi-Trailer - This case arises from an automobile accident that occurred on
October 7, 1993. Ingalls was driving in Riverton with three of
her children. While stopped at a traffic light, her vehicle was
rear-ended by a semi-truck owned by Triple L. and driven by Lloyd
Voice, an employee of Triple L. Ingalls told the investigating
officer that she and her children were not injured. Several
weeks later, however, she sought medical attention for symptoms
she claimed were related to the accident.

Ingalls filed a complaint against Triple L., claiming that she
had been injured by Voice's negligence. Triple L. admitted
liability, and the case was tried to a jury in October 1998 on
the question of the amount of damages.

The jury returned a
verdict, finding that Ingalls was "not entitled to recover any
amount as damages," and the trial court entered a judgment to
that effect. Ingalls filed a motion for a new trial, which the
district court denied.
