Description
This is an action brought by the plaintiff
Joseph Natale to recover damages for personal
injuries and by the named plaintiff to recover
damages for injuries to property, which damages
were alleged to be caused by the negligence of the
defendant's decedent, Ralph J. Flynn, while he had
been operating his automobile. The case was tried
to a jury. At the conclusion of the evidence, the
defendant moved for a directed verdict on the
ground of the claimed insufficiency of the
plaintiffs' evidence. The motion was denied, and
the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiffs
which the court accepted. The defendant moved the
court to set aside the verdict and for judgment
notwithstanding the verdict. The motion was
denied, and the defendant has appealed. He assigns
error in the denial of his motion for a directed
verdict, in the denial of his motion to set aside
the verdict and for judgment notwithstanding the
verdict, in the refusal of the court to charge the
jury as requested, in the charge as given, and in
a ruling on evidence. In reviewing the action of the court in denying the
motion to set aside the verdict, we consider the
evidence in the light most favorable to the plaintiffs.
