176 So. 2d 463 | La. Ct. App. | 1965
In the companion appeal rendered this date, Peterson v. Armstrong, 176 So.2d 453, all issues of this appeal have been decided except the plaintiff’s prayer for an increase in the award, and the defendants’ request for a reduction therein.
The plaintiff lost four teeth as a result of the accident, as a result of which she underwent oral surgery -and was fitted with an upper plate, with attendant discomfort in use. She suffered a laceration in her mouth requiring 25 sutures to close, and also had bruises and contusions all about her person. She retained a tiny scar on her leg which is not readily apparent. The trial court found that the young lady recovered without apparent disfigurement.
For the foregoing reasons, the trial court judgment is affirmed, at the cost of the defendants-appellants.
Affirmed.
