SCOTT V. HANSEN
289 N.W. 710 (1940)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was a personal injury suit.
FACTS: Plaintiff brought this suit to recover personal injuries by the alleged reckless
operation of an auto by the Defendant when the Defendant's car collided with a cow that was
crossing the highway. Much of the evidence given during trial was contradictory and somewhat
amazing regarding a 1200-pound cow flying 30 feet with no breaks being applied but there
being skid marks for 354 feet. During trial and at the conclusion of evidence D moved for a
directed verdict; there was no competent evidence to show that D was guilty of recklessness
in the operation of the car. The court overruled that motion. The jury returned a verdict
for P and D appealed.
