Galaida v. Raritan Mercantile Co.
Galaida v. Raritan Mercantile Co.
Opinion of the Court
The infant plaintiff, Louise A. Galaida, by next friend, has a verdict for $20,000 for pain and suffering and personal injuries, inflicted by the negligent operation of a motor vehicle of the defendant, and her father, the plaintiff, Joseph Galaida, has a verdict for $2,000 for the cost of effecting a cure of his daughter’s ailments, &c., so inflicted.
These we are asked to set aside as being excessive, against the weight of the evidence and contrary to law, in that the child was a trespasser upon the highway; that it'was error
Our examination of the case leads us to the conclusion that none of these reasons present sufficient grounds for the setting aside of the verdicts, and the rule to show cause is therefore discharged, with costs.
