Lessow v. Sherry

Supreme Court of Connecticut

Decided January 9, 1947PublishedCited by 14 opinions

1Opinion of the CourtDickenson, J.

This is an action for damages for personal injuries sustained by the plaintiff as a result of a fall upon the defendant’s sidewalk. The jury rendered a verdict for the plaintiff and the defendant has appealed from the denial of her motion to set aside the verdict and from the judgment, assigning error in the charge. There were no requests to charge and no objection was made to the trial court’s charge after it was delivered, although the court invited criticism of it at that time. We, therefore, consider only the denial of the motion to set aside the verdict. Practice Book § 156.
