Falanga v. Consolidated Foods Corporation

Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts
Jul 10, 1969
249 N.E.2d 630 (Mass. 1969)

Opinion

July 10, 1969.

The case was submitted on briefs.

Robert D. Callahan for the defendant.

Frank P. Hurley Ralph H. Willard, Jr., for the plaintiff.


In this action of tort for personal injuries caused by the defendant's negligence there was a verdict for the plaintiff. The defendant excepted "to that portion of the charge in which the Court made reference to a suggestion that pain and suffering might be worth a dollar an hour." Detailed quotation from the charge would not be profitable. There are two answers to the defendant's contention. (1) The wording of the exception is not a fair construction of the judge's language. (2) Additional instructions, which were not the subject of exception, completely disposed of any conceivable erroneous interpretation.

Exceptions overruled.
