JEFFREY MARION REED v. GREENE COUNTY, TENNESSEE
Court:TCA
Attorneys:
Thomas C. Jessee, Johnson City, Tennessee, for the Appellant Jeffrey
Marion Reed.
Roger A. Woolsey, Greeneville, Tennessee, for the Appellee Greene
County, Tennessee
Judge: SWINEY
First Paragraph:
Jeffrey Marion Reed ("Plaintiff") sued Greene County (the "County") for
damages following a truck accident. Plaintiff was driving a milk truck
on a County road and moved to the far right of the road to allow an
oncoming vehicle to pass. Plaintiff claims the edge of the road broke
away causing the milk truck to tumble down an embankment. Plaintiff
filed suit pursuant to the Tennessee Governmental Tort Liability Act
("GTLA") claiming the County failed to properly maintain and inspect the
road resulting in the road being dangerous and unsafe. After a trial,
the Trial Court entered a judgment for the County after concluding
Plaintiff was solely at fault for the accident, that the road was not
dangerous or unsafe and, even if it was, the County did not have actual
or constructive notice of the allegedly unsafe or dangerous condition.
Plaintiff appeals, and we affirm.
