W. L. Lawrence & Son, Inc. v. Merkel

This is an action at law by notice of motion for judgment for damages alleged to have been sustained by the plaintiff below, defendant in error here, on account of injuries sustained by him in an automobile accident in which the defendant was charged with negligence.

There were two trials of the case. In the first trial the verdict of $100 for the plaintiff was set aside by the court on account of inadequacy of damages. The second trial which was upon the question of damages alone resulted in a verdict of $3,600 for the plaintiff which was sustained by the trial court.
