140 So. 43 | La. | 1932
This is one of the cases referred to in the opinion handed down today in Pipes v. *267
Gallman (No. 31539)
The amount of the judgment rendered by the district court appears to be correct, and is not especially contested. Miss Jessie Pipes was riding on the front seat of the car at the time of the accident and was very seriously injured. Her scapula or shoulder blade and a rib were fractured, and one of her kidneys was so injured that it had to be removed. The allowance of $4,000 for such injuries is not excessive. The amount allowed her father for medical, surgical, and sanitarium bills is in accord with the evidence. *268
The judgment of the Court of Appeal is annulled, and the judgment rendered by the district court is reinstated and affirmed, at the cost of the defendant.
