Gen. No. 42,437. (Abstract of Decision.)
Opinion filed July 2, 1943
AUTOMOBILES AND MOTOR VEHICLES, § 117.3 — sudden stopping, sufficiency of evidence to show negligence. In action for injuries to taxicab passenger against driver of cab, the cab company, and driver of another car with which the cab collided, held that it was error to direct a verdict for the driver of the other car, on plaintiff's testimony, where it appeared therefrom that the other car was being driven along city street at 40 miles per hour and came to a quick stop ahead of the cab without making any signal and while traffic light ahead was still green; and further held that award of $200 damages against cab company and driver, for serious injuries sustained by plaintiff, was inadequate.
