Bradley v. Maurer

The defendants appeal a judgment entered upon a jury verdict and from the trial court's denial of the motion for judgment n.o.v., or in the alternative, for a new trial. On May 11, 1973, plaintiff Bradley was involved in two automobile accidents and subsequently brought this action against the defendants Maurer to recover for damages incurred as a result of the second accident. The jury found Bradley 40 percent responsible for his own damage and the Maurers 60 percent responsible for plaintiff's damage; thus, Bradley's damages of $100,000 resulted in a judgment against the Maurers for $60,000.
