Seaman v. Dexter
Supreme Court of Connecticut
Action to recover damages for personal injuries alleged to have been caused by the negligence of a servant of the defendant in the operation of his automobile, brought to the Superior Court in Hartford County and tried to the jury before Maltbie, J.; verdict and judgment for the plaintiff for $12,968, and appeal by the defendant.
