Onofrey v. Resnik

Supreme Court of Connecticut Third Judicial District, Bridgeport, April Term, 1924
May 8, 1924
124 A. 401 (Conn. 1924)

Opinion

Argued April 15th, 1924

Decided May 8th, 1924.

ACTION to recover damages for personal injuries alleged to have been caused by the negligence of the defendants, brought to the Superior Court in Fairfield County and tried to the jury before Ells, J.; verdict and judgment for the defendants, and appeal by the plaintiff. No error.

Samuel Reich, with whom, on the brief, were George Ferrio, Jr., and Murray Reich, for the appellant (plaintiff).

Samuel E. Hoyt for the appellees (defendants).


The evidence was conflicting and hence the determination by the jury of the issue of negligence and contributory negligence in favor of the defendants must stand unless we can say as matter of law that the jury's conclusions were such that reasoning minds could not reasonably have reached them. We are clearly of the opinion that we would not be justified in so holding as matter of law.
