Healey v. Philadelphia Transportation Co.

Pennsylvania Court of Common Pleas, Philadelphia County

Decided February 16, 1959No. 3504Published

1Opinion of the Court

Flood, J.,

The motorman asked her if she was all right and waited for her to get inside the car. He did not, however, wait until she *347was seated before he started the car. When the car started, she was still proceeding through the aisle and was thrown down and suffered the injuries here complained of.

It seems difficult to find…
