Terminal Warehouses St. Joseph v. Amelia

Terminal Warehouses of St. Joseph, Inc., hereinafter sometimes called Terminal, brought an action against Mrs. Amelia Reiners for $2,500 for alleged damage to its truck. Mrs. Reiners (then Miss Phillips) counterclaimed against Terminal and Walter Bollman as an additional counterclaim defendant for $250,000 as damages for personal injuries she received on July 28, 1956, when the automobile she was driving came into collision with Terminals truck being driven by Bollman. The jury found against Terminal on its claim and for Mrs. Reiners on her counterclaim against both counterclaim defendants and fixed her damages at $110,000. Terminal and Bollman have appealed. Both claim, inter alia, that respondent failed to make a submissible case.
