Colvin v. West Monroe Trucking Co.

The rehearing granted in this case was for the purpose of reconsidering the amount of damages awarded.

In his petition, plaintiff prayed for $478.41 for loss of automobile; for medical and hospital expenses totaling $318.95; for $4000 pain and suffering, and for $7000 for loss of time from work and total disability.

The District Court gave judgment for $4739.36, including $4000 for physical injuries and suffering.

In our original decree this judgment was reduced to $3239.36. On rehearing, counsel for defendant has asked that the item for physical pain and suffering, etc., be reduced to $250.
