Opinion
Argued February 5, 1970
Decided February 5, 1970
Action to recover damages for personal injuries, alleged to have been caused by the negligence of the defendants, brought to the Superior Court in New Haven County and tried to the jury before Radin, J.; verdict and judgment for the plaintiff and appeal by the plaintiff. No error.
Andrew D. Dawson, for the appellant (plaintiff). John C. Flanagan, with whom, on the brief, was Peter C. Dorsey, for the appellee's (defendants).
The sole issue raised on this appeal is whether the trial court erred in denying the motion by the plaintiff to set aside the verdict as inadequate. The plaintiff's claim's of injury and damages were strongly contested. It was the function of the jury to determine the credibility of the witnesses and the weight to be accorded their testimony. There is nothing in the record to indicate that the verdict returned was not reasonably reached upon a proper consideration of all the evidence.
