Nature Of The Case

This section contains the nature of the case and procedural background.

Facts

This action was brought against Mrs. Veith's automobile insurance company American Family Ins. Co. (D), for an auto accident, that Mrs. Veith was involved in. At trial, a psychiatrist testified that Veith was suffering from schizophrenic reaction, paranoid type, acute because she told him that while she was driving she believed God was taking a hold of her steering wheel and was directing her car. When she saw the truck coming, she stepped on the gas in order to become airborne because she knew she could fly because Batman does. She collided with Breunig's (P) truck. Her vehicle was on the left side (wrong side) of the road at the time of the accident. The jury returned a verdict for Breunig (P) and D appealed.
