¶1

¶2The facts set out in the opinion of the Court of Civil Appeals, 459 So.2d 881, show that the jury awarded damages in an amount less than plaintiff's special damages. See footnote 1 to the opinion of the Court of Civil Appeals. Furthermore, the verdict did not include an amount sufficient to make any compensation for pain and suffering. The judgment of the Court of Civil Appeals is therefore reversed and the cause remanded on the authority of McCain v. Redman Homes, Inc., 387 So.2d 809 (Ala. 1980); Bibb v. Nelson, 379 So.2d 1254 (Ala. 1980); andStone v. Echols, 351 So.2d 902 (Ala. 1977).
