Description
In the trial of an action brought on
behalf of the named plaintiff, a minor, seeking to
recover damages for personal injuries, in which the
minor's father joined seeking recovery for attendant
medical expenses, the jury returned a verdict for
the defendant. The court denied the plaintiffs'
motion to set aside the verdict, and the plaintiffs
have appealed from the judgment rendered on the
verdict. Error is assigned in the finding, in numerous
rulings on evidence, in the charge to the jury, and
in the denial of the plaintiffs' motion to set aside
the verdict. We consider a ruling on evidence
decisive of the case. There is no dispute that, at some time between
1 a.m. and 1:20 a.m. on the morning of May 12, 1963,
the motor vehicle in which the minor plaintiff was
riding collided with a guidepost at the edge of an
entrance ramp to route 9, a public highway, in
Middletown. The only occupants of the car were the
minor plaintiff, sixteen years old, and the defendant,
a minor fifteen years old. There were no witnesses
to the collision. When persons later arrived at the
scene, the minor plaintiff was found lying between
the two front bucket seats of the car unconscious,
paralyzed below the neck, and unable to move his
body. He was removed by ambulance to the Middlesex
Memorial Hospital.
