Plaintiffs vehicle was properly stopped in traffic when the Defendant drove the
Defendants vehicle into the back of the Plaintiffs vehicle and caused the impact. The
Defendants negligence caused the accident, which resulted in physical injuries and
medical expenses.
10. The Plaintiff did nothing to negligently cause the accident.

11. The accident occurred as a result of the Defendants negligence, including,
but not limited to, not keeping a careful watch, and not driving carefully.
12. As a matter of law, the Defendant violated Tenn. Code Ann. section 55-8-
136(b) by failing to operate a motor vehicle with due care, by not keeping a safe
lookout, and by not devoting full time and attention to operating a motor vehicle, all of

because the Plaintiff is a member of the class of persons who these statutes exists to

15. As a result of the care and treatment provided in response to the car
accident, the Plaintiff lost income related to not being able to close on sales at the

caused the Plaintiff to lose some income that would have been earned for bonus /
incentive pay for sales closed by the end of July 2015 that were not closed during that
timeframe.
16. The Defendants negligence caused the car accident. The Defendants
negligence was the actual cause and proximate cause of the injuries and damages
to the Plaintiff. The Defendant is liable to the Plaintiff for the Plaintiffs injuries and
damages.
