Description

Twelve-year old Wade Krieger was injured when he fell from the back of a pickup truck as it turned at an intersection in Burley, Idaho. This action was brought by Melvin Krieger, Wades father, individually, and as Wades guardian ad litem. Krieger alleged that the personal injuries suffered by Wade resulted from the negligence of the driver, fifteen-year old Donald Dee Howell. After a jury trial, a special verdict was returned, finding Wade sixty percent at fault and Howell forty percent. The Kriegers motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict and for a new trial was denied. On appeal, the Kriegers contend that the jury verdict is not supported by substantial and competent evidence and that a driver must be held to a higher standard of care if his passenger is a child. We affirm the judgment.
