Sweet v. Underwriters Casualty Co.
Sweet v. Underwriters Casualty Co.
Opinion of the Court
This action grew out of the same accident involved in Sweet v. Underwriters Casualty Co. (ante, p. 447, 240 N. W. 199). It was tried at the same time and, by stipulation, was heard at the same time on appeal. It is in all respects ruled by the decision in the Sweet Case except as to the question of damages. The jury assessed the plaintiff’s damages at the sum of $500. Appellants contend that such damages are excessive. It appears from the testimony of the plaintiff that she sustained a hard blow on her head which resulted in a cut on the top of her head. The right side of her face from the eye down was cut by glass. Her
Under all of the circumstances, we cannot say that the amount of the damages found by the jury, which received the approval of the trial court, is excessive.
By the Court. — Judgment affirmed.
