Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York · Decided December 15, 1915
171 A.D. 933; 155 N.Y.S. 1116
Johnson v. Hedden Construction Co.

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam:

We think that the dismissal of the complaint was error, as there was a question for the jury as to the negligence of the defendant and the absence of contributory negligence or assumption of risk by the plaintiff. The judgment is, therefore, reversed and a new trial ordered, with costs to appellant to abide the event. Present — Ingraham, P. J., Laughlin, Clarke, Scott and Smith, JJ. Judgment reversed, new trial ordered, costs to appellant to abide event.
