This case involves a negligence case filed by the personal representative of the estate of Michael Ferguson, who died as a result of injuries sustained when he was hit by a bus being operated by Indianapolis Public Transportation Corporation d/b/a IndyGo Public Transportation.  A jury found in favor of the estate and awarded damages.  IndyGo appeals from the jury verdict and argues that the trial court erred when it denied IndyGo’s motion for directed verdict.  On appeal, IndyGo contends that the evidence showed that Ferguson was contributorily negligent in his action of reaching out toward the bus before the accident occurred and the fact that he was highly intoxicated at the time of the accident.  Because the evidence showed that Ferguson was contributorily negligent, IndyGo requests that we reverse the trial court’s denial of its motion for directed verdict because the estate’s claims were barred.
