Schneiderman v. Interstate Transit Lines, Inc.

Plaintiff recovered a judgment for $100,000 upon a verdict of a jury in the superior court of Cook county against defendant, in an action for damages for personal injuries sustained in a collision between his automobile and a bus, owned and operated by defendant. The jury also, in response to a special interrogatory submitted at defendant’s request, found that the bus had been operated in a wilful and wanton manner. The trial court overruled defendant’s motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict and for a new trial, and the motion to require a remittitur and to vacate the special verdict.
