Appel v. Checker Cab Co.

WESTERFIELD, J. Plaintiff was a passenger in a taxicab operated by defendant. The taxicab in order to avoid collision with another cab also operated by defendant, ran into the curb and struck a fire plug injuring plaintiff. Defendant’s liability is clearly established and we believe the amount allowed by the trial court ($300.00) to be about right. The injuries were not particularly serious consisting of cuts, bruises and shock, but we see no reason to reduce the small sum the judgment awards
