Howard v. Gardner

Hall, Presiding Judge.

Plaintiff in a personal injury action appeals from the judgment in his favor, which he contends was inadequate, and from the denial of his motion for a new trial.

Plaintiff was injured when his automobile was struck from the rear by a truck driven by one defendant and owned by the other. Plaintiff claimed he had been damaged in the amount of $100,000 which included: $1,655 in medical expenses; $300 for transportation for medical care; $14,843 in lost earnings; and the balance, we presume, for pain and suffering. The jury returned a verdict for $1,000.
