1. “"Questions of negligence and due care are ordinarily questions of fact for a jury to decide. Questions which are composed of qualities sufficient to cause reasonable men to arrive at different results should never be determined as a matter of law. The jury is the tribunal under our legal system to decide that type of issue. To withdraw from the jury the determination of questions of fact is to usurp its function. Ney v. Yellow Cab Co., 2 Ill.2d 74 , 117 N.E.2d 74 ." ( Stegmann v. Zachariah, 46 Ill. App.2d 7, 10 , 196 N.E.2d 703, 705 ).”
