Gulotta v. Fifth Avenue Coach Co.
Appellate Terms of the Supreme Court of New York · Decided November 23, 1937
165 Misc. 101; 300 N.Y.S. 648; 1937 N.Y. Misc. LEXIS 1973

Counsel

Henry J. Smith [J. M. Sheen of counsel], for the appellant., Sol Silverman, for the respondent.

Gulotta v. Fifth Avenue Coach Co.

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

While it was proper, and so conceded by defendant’s counsel, to ask the plaintiff whether he had told defendant’s driver after the accident that he, the plaintiff, had not been hurt as a result of the collision, the ruling permitting the conversation between plaintiff and the driver to establish defendant’s liability presents reversible error.

Judgment reversed and a new trial ordered, with costs to appellant to abide the event.

All concur. Present — Lydon, Levy and Frankenthaler, JJ.
