Pando v. Jasper

Mr, Justice Knauss

delivered the opinion of the Court.

Plaintiff in error was plaintiff in the trial court in an action to recover damages for personal injuries resulting from an automobile accident on October 10, 1953, while he was a passenger in an automobile owned and driven by defendant in error. We will refer to the parties as they appeared in the trial court. The accident occurred near Cimarron, Kansas.

The complaint alleged that the accident was the result of defendant’s negligence and recklessness “consisting of a wilful and wanton disregard of the rights of the plaintiff.”

By answer…
