Description

1 This appeal arises from a suit for damages for personal injury resulting from a four-car accident. The circumstances surrounding the accident itself are immaterial to the issue raised on appeal. Plaintiff Cleere, appellant here, initially brought suit against three defendants, alleging that the concurrent negligence of all three was the proximate cause of her injuries. Prior to trial, appellant Cleere settled her claim against two of the defendants for consideration in the amount of $46,500, and as a result thereof, executed a release and dismissed her suit as to those two tortfeasors, reserving her claim against defendant United Parcel Service, Inc., the appellee. A United Parcels truck was one of the vehicles involved in the accident. At trial, after the appellant had rested her case, appellee was allowed, despite the objections of the appellant, to introduce evidence to the jury pertaining to the release executed by the appellant concerning the other two tortfeasors, including the amount given in consideration therefor. Although the complete transcript of the trial was not designated for appellate review, it appears from the record and briefs before this Court that appellees case was limited solely to the introduction of the evidence regarding the release of the two absent tortfeasors. The jury returned a verdict in favor of the appellee. The appellant contends, on appeal, that it was reversible error for the trial court to allow the appellee to introduce evidence pertaining to the release of the two absent tortfeasors and the amount given in consideration therefor.
