“if made conditional upon the jury's finding that such facts existed.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“[T]his Court will consider the evidence in the light most favorable to the appel-lee, giving that party the benefit of all favorable inference that may be reasonably drawn from the evidence. If the facts so considered point so overwhelmingly in favor of the appellant that reasonable men could not have arrived at a contrary verdict, we are required to reverse and render. On the other hand if there is substantial evidence in support of the verdict, that is, evidence of such quality and weight that reasonable and fair minded jurors in the exercise of impartial judgment might have reached different conclusions, affirmance is required. The above standards of review, however, are predicated on the fact that the trial judge applied the correct law.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“If you find from a preponderance of the evidence that an official traffic-control device had been placed at the intersection where this wreck occurred, and if you further find from a preponderance of the evidence that the defendant truck driver Randy Parkman did not obey the instructions of the official traffic-control device by reducing his speed to 45 miles per hour or below, then you are instructed that the defendant is negligent as a matter of law. If you find that such negligence was a proximate contributing cause of the wreck and injuries to the plaintiff, then your verdict shall be for the plaintiff.”
