Barton v. City of Seattle
Washington Supreme Court
Appeal from a judgment of the superior court for King county, Ronald, J., entered April 19, 1919, upon a trial to the court and jury, granting a nonsuit, in an action for personal injuries.
1Opinion of the CourtBridges, J.
— Plaintiffs have appealed from the judgment of the lower court dismissing their action against the city of Seattle, wherein they sought to recover damages because of personal injuries to the plaintiff Martha J. Barton, received on April 8, 1919. The only question involved here is the sufficiency of the notice given by the appellants to the city- of the injury to Mrs. Barton. The case was dismissed because the notice did not state the residence of the claimants or either of them, for six months immediately prior to the time the claim for damages accrued.
