Braasch v. Michigan Stove Co.
Michigan Supreme Court
Error to Wayne; Brooke, J. Case by Edward A. Braasch, by next friend, against the Michigan Stove Company for personal injuries. There was judgment for plaintiff, and defendant brings error.
1Opinion of the CourtHooker, J.
The defendant, a corporation engaged in the manufacture of stoves, employed the plaintiff and set him at work running an electric freight elevator in its factory. A few hours later he was injured, his foot being crushed between the elevator and a floor. It is obvious that this happened by reason of his foot being allowed to extend over the edge of the floor of the elevator, as it approached the fifth floor of the factory from below. He recovered upon this, the second trial of the cause, a verdict and judgment for |4,000, and a new trial having been denied, the defendant has appealed.
