Indianapolis Public Transportation Corporation d/b/a IndyGo Public Transportation v. Norma Jean Bush, as Personal Representative of the Estate of Michael Rex Fergerson, Deceased
23A-CT-1483
Civil tort. Reverses the Marion Superior Court’s denial of IndyGo’s motion for directed verdict in a negligence action initiated by Norma Jean Bush, as Personal Representative of the Estate of Michael Rex Fergerson against IndyGo after Fergerson was struck by an IndyGo bus and later died of his injuries. Finds that Fergerson was at least a proximate cause of his being struck by the bus, and therefore contributorily negligent. Also finds the trial court erred when it declined to find that the defense of contributory negligence applied and denied IndyGo’s motion for directed verdict. Remands for trial court to enter judgment in favor of IndyGo. Judge Patricia Riley dissents with a separate opinion.
