Description
The cases arise from a collision in a street intersection between the Berry car operated by Walter F. Berry in which plaintiffs were passengers and the Adams car operated by defendant. Four actions against defendant were tried together by the jury. The case of the operator of the Berry car ended with a directed verdict for defendant. Actions by Herbert Berry and his wife Stella for personal injuries and by Herbert Berry for losses and expenses incurred as a result of the injuries received by his wife are before us after verdicts for plaintiffs on exceptions to the refusal of the court in each instance to direct a verdict for defendant. We are not concerned with contributory negligence on the part of plaintiffs. The only issue urged by defendant is whether the jury was warranted in finding that defendant was negligent. Our duty is to determine the issue taking the evidence and inferences to be drawn therefrom in the light most favorable to plaintiffs, and we examine the record with this rule in mind. Torrey v. Congress Square Hotel Company, 145 Me. 234, (July 1950); Johnson v. New York, New Haven & Hartford R.R., 111 Me. 263, 88 A. 988 (1913).
