Littell v. Bi-State Transit Development Agency

CLEMENS, Commissioner.

The plaintiff got a verdict and judgment of $5,000 for personal injuries and $1,000 for property damages from a collision be tween his car and defendant Bi-State’s bus. The defendant appeals.

Defendant contends the trial court erred in (1) denying voir dire examination to discover bias against plaintiff’s obligation to prove negligence, (2) refusing to let defendant read, as admissions against interest, allegations plaintiff had made against a co-defendant, (3) permitting plaintiff to argue injuries unsupported by evidence, and (4) allowing excessive damages.
