Description
This is an appeal by plaintiffs from the judgment of the trial court on a jury verdict for the defendants. Plaintiffs, Emmy Austin and William L. Austin, Sr., parents and next of kin of William L. Austin, Jr., deceased, sued the defendants for the wrongful death of their son resulting from the collapse of the Perkins Road Bridge in Memphis, Tennessee, on March 16, 1980. The State of Tennessee and Chickasaw Basin Authority as a corporate body were originally named as defendants, but were dismissed on defendants motion prior to trial. Also sued were the City of Memphis and County of Shelby, but the suit against these parties was severed for a separate trial by the court and is not involved in this appeal.
