Moore v. Moriarty

GARRARD, Judge.

Appellant, Neil E. Moore, Jr., appeals from a judgment ordering him to pay $22,-500 to the appellee, John L. Moriarty, for damages resulting from personal injuries sustained by Moriarty while employed by Moore. Trial was conducted before the bench, and special findings and conclusions of law were entered. Moore’s challenges to the trial court’s findings may be summarized as follows:

1. Whether the court erred in finding that Moore was negligent in his failure to brake the truck prior to its pulling the tractor over; and

2. Whether the damages awarded were excessive.

We affirm.
