Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York
Appeal from trial term, Kings county. Action by Frederick Kalfur, an infant, by Frederick W. Kalfur, his guardian ad litem, against the Broadway Ferry & Metropolitan Avenue Railroad Company. From a judgment for plaintiff, and an order denying a new trial (51 N. Y. Supp. 179), defendant appeals.
1Opinion of the CourtWoodward, J.
The plaintiff in this action, an infant, was injured in an accident on the line of street-surface railroad operated by the defendant on Metropolitan avenue, in Middle Village, Queens county, on the 15th of October, 1892. It was established on the trial, and it is not questioned on this appeal, that the child was injured through the negligence of the defendant, making it necessary to amputate one of the legs above the knee. The only point urged in this court is that the verdict of the jury on which a judgment for 115,941.25 was entered in behalf of the plaintiff is excessive.
