Nevill v City of Tullahoma,756 SW 2d226 (Tenn. 1988)
N/AOUTCOME: Tenn. Supreme Crt. reversed in favor of our client, the City.
City police officers instituted high speed chase of motorist who fled from a mall parking lot on a rural road. The police officers instituted pursuit by engaging their "blue lights and siren" before ob ... taining approval of their supervisor, who instructed the officers to "back off" meaning to reduce their speed. After speaking with their supervisor, the officers continued to follow the vehicle, but at a greatly reduced speed and after turning off the siren , but leaving the "blue lights" on. The police discovered the crashed vehicle ,whose passenger was killed in the wreck. The parents of the passenger sued the City for negligence in conducting the pursuit, in violation of the police department's policy which required specific approval of supervisor before instituting pursuit.We represented the City of Tullahoma and its insuror in this litigation.The trial crt awarded judgment to the parents of the deceased passenger in the amount of $130,628.22, which was reduced by the $25,000 payment from the fleeing driver's insurance company. The court of appeals upheld the judgment. for the plaintiffs, but the Tennessee Supreme Court reversed, and found for the defendant City because the officers were in compliance with the Emergency Vehicle law,and the sole proximate cause of the accident was the negligence of the fleeing driver.
