Description

The plaintiff Walter Thorp commenced this action on the 23rd day of September, 1947, against the defendants Emma Mae Landsaw, The Aetna Casualty and Surety Company, Edwin Thorp, Metropolitan Casualty Insurance Company, Rockwell Peterson, doing business as Peterson Motor Sales, and Employers Mutual Indemnity Company, to recover damages for personal injuries sustained by him in an automobile accident which the plaintiff alleged was due to the negligent conduct of the defendants Edwin Thorp and Emma Mae Landsaw. The case was tried to a jury and the jury found that the defendant Landsaw was guilty of negligence in respect to management and control and in respect to the position of her car on the highway, and that such negligence was a cause of the plaintiffs injuries. The jury also found, in answer to question 3, that the defendant Edwin Thorp was negligent in respect to speed, management and control and in respect to the position of his car on the highway, and in turning his car to the left just before the cars collided, and that such negligence was the cause of the damages sustained by the plaintiff. The jury also found that the negligence of the defendant Landsaw was due to her lack of skill and experience in operating her automobile. The jury apportioned the negligence 50% to Emma Mae Landsaw and 50% to Edwin Thorp, and assessed the plaintiffs damages at the sum of $7,000. On motions after verdict the court ordered a new trial between the plaintiff and the defendant Landsaw unless the plaintiff should elect to accept the sum of $3,000 within twenty days after the date of the filing of the order. The plaintiff accepted the reduction. As to the defendant Edwin Thorp the court ordered that the findings of the jury as to the negligence of the defendant Edwin Thorp be stricken, and that the motion for judgment against Edwin Thorp be denied. Accordingly the complaint as to Edwin Thorp was dismissed and judgment entered against Landsaw and her insurance carrier for the sum of $3,000 and costs.
