Sickmund v. Connecticut Co.
Supreme Court of Connecticut
Decided January 8, 1937PublishedCited by 34 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtBrown, J.
In this action the plaintiff sued for damages for personal injuries claimed to have been sustained by her while a passenger on the defendant’s bus, by a fall caused by the slipping of her foot on the bus step as she was getting on, due to the defendant’s negligence in permitting this step to become worn and slippery, and in stopping the bus so tilted toward the plaintiff as to accentuate the hazard therefrom. The jury rendered a verdict for the plaintiff, which the court refused to set aside. From this ruling, and from the judgment, for claimed errors in the trial, the defendant appealed.
