Griggs (Ante Litem notice that results in an offer from the governmental entity is deemed sufficient as a matter of law) and Reed v. Carolina Casualty Insurance Company, et al (whether decedent’s intoxication was the sole proximate cause of tractor-trailer collision is for a jury to determine, not for a trial court to determine on summary judgment).
