115 A. 475 | Conn. | 1921
The defendant's west-bound trolley-car struck the plaintiff's intestate while she was walking west on defendant's track located just north of the traveled surface of the Boston Post Road in the town of Norwalk. The defendant concedes that the jury might have found it negligent as alleged, but claims that the court erred in submitting the question of the contributory negligence of the decedent, and the issue of intervening negligence, to the jury.
Both were, upon the evidence, fair issues to submit to the jury, and a failure to have submitted either would have been error. The trial court instructed the jury upon the subject of intervening negligence in exact accord with the doctrine of our decisions. Fine
v. Connecticut Co.,
There is no error.
