142 Ga. 720 | Ga. | 1914
(After stating the foregoing facts.)
This charge is somewhat inapt. The plaintiff was seeking to recover for ph3'sical injuries and pain, as well as for mental pain and suffering; and while the measure of damages for physical injuries causing pain and nervousness and other physical ills described in her petition is the enlightened consciences of impartial jurors, just as it is in those torts where the entire injury is to the peace, happiness, or feelings of the complainant, it is inapt to charge the jury, in the trial of a suit for physical injuries as well as damages for mental pain and suffering, that “in some torts the "entire injury is to the peace, happiness or feelings of the plaintiff,” etc. Southern Railway Co. v. Davis, 132 Ga. 812 (65 S. E. 131). Such a charge
Other minor inaccuracies in certain portions of the charge were complained of, but they are not of such character as -to require discussion or as to constitute grounds for the grant of a new trial.
Judgment reversed.
