Choquette v. Bennett

149 A. 892, 111 Conn. 718, 1930 Conn. LEXIS 185

Supreme Court of Connecticut·Decided March 6, 1930·Published

Opinion

Per Curiam.

This appeal is pursued upon the sole ground that the damages are excessive. The special damages might reasonably have been found to be $2315.25. The physical injury was severe and included a twenty-five per cent permanent partial disability to plaintiff’s left leg. Although he was seventy-one years of age at the time of this accident it cannot be held as matter of law that the assessment of damages of $4200 for the injury plaintiff suffered is excessive, giving due weight to the trial court’s denial of defendant’s motion to set aside the verdict.

There is no error.
