Summary

            Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Linn County, Jason D. Besler, Judge.  AFFIRMED.  Heard by Greer, P.J., and Buller and Langholz, JJ.  Opinion by Langholz, J.  (12 pages)

            Tamra and Scott Bradley appeal the denial of a directed verdict, arguing no evidence supported submitting comparative fault to the jury in the trial on their negligence claims against Timothy and Carol Tietz arising out of a truck crash.  OPINION HOLDS: Considering the evidence—including a video of the crash—in the light most favorable to the Tietzs, there was evidence from which a jury could find Tamra Bradley negligent and at least one percent at fault for the crash.  Thus, the Bradleys’ directed-verdict motion was properly denied.
