Opinion
No. 4-9566
Opinion delivered October 22, 1951.
DAMAGES — PERSONAL INJURIES. — Since the facts are the same as those in Capital Transportation v. Alexander, ante, p. 419, the law as declared there is controlling here.
Appeal from Pulaski Circuit Court, Second Division; Guy Amsler, Judge; affirmed.
Bailey Warren, for appellant.
J. R. Booker and L. A. Hardin, for appellee.
This is a suit for personal injuries sustained by the appellee while attempting to alight from a city bus operated by the appellant in Little Rock. In the court below the appellee obtained a verdict and judgment for $2,000.
Both as to the facts and as to the law the case is in all material respects similar to Capital Transportation Co. v. Alexander, ante, p. 419, 242 S.W.2d 843, also decided today. In the case at bar the accident happened in the came manner as that in the other case. The two trials were only a week apart. The attorneys in the earlier case participated in this one, offered the same instructions, and now urge the same grounds for affirmance or reversal. Since this case is completely controlled by the other opinion we see no need for repeating the reasons for our conclusions.
Affirmed.
WARD, J., concurs because the instruction concerning the use of hand supports, which was refused in the Alexander case, was given in this case.
