Description
The plaintiff has brought an action for damages in which he claims that, by reason of the defendants negligence, he sustained injuries when he tripped over a protruding piece of roofing paper while shoveling snow from the defendants porch roof. The jury, in the trial below, returned a verdict for the plaintiff in the sum of fifteen hundred dollars. This amount the plaintiff considered to be grossly inadequate, and, accordingly, he moved that the verdict be set aside as to damages only and a new trial be had on this issue alone. The defendant, on her part, moved for judgment notwithstanding the verdict. The trial court granted the defendants motion and entered judgment for the defendant. The plaintiffs motion for a new trial on the question of damages was denied. The plaintiff claims error with respect to the trial courts action on both motions.
