Docket No. 9340.
Decided April 28, 1971.
Appeal from Oakland, James S. Thorburn, J. Submitted Division 2 April 7, 1971, at Lansing. (Docket No. 9340.) Decided April 28, 1971.
Complaint by Peter Hanik and Aline Hanik against Chester A. Wilczynski and David P. Wilczynski for automobile negligence. Verdict and judgment of no cause of action. Plaintiffs appeal. Affirmed.
Calvin J. Klyman, for plaintiffs.
Condit, Denison, Devine, Porter Bartush, for defendants.
Before: QUINN, P.J., and R.B. BURNS and McGREGOR, JJ.
This is an automobile negligence case. The jury returned a verdict of no cause of action. Plaintiffs appeal, claiming that the verdict was contrary to the weight of the evidence.
Since plaintiffs did not move for a new trial on that ground we cannot now order one. Armstrong v. Woodland Mutual Fire Insurance Company (1955), 342 Mich. 666; Nadolski v. Peters (1952), 332 Mich. 182; Riber v. Morris (1937), 279 Mich. 344.
Plaintiffs next argue that it was error for the trial judge to admit, over objection, an unsigned and unverified complaint filed in a previous personal injury action for the purpose of impeaching Peter Hanik's statement that he had never before suffered any back, neck, or spine injuries. This issue is controlled by Schwartz v. Triff (1966), 2 Mich. App. 379, which held that such evidence was admissible for impeachment purposes.
Affirmed. Costs to defendants.
