Finley P. Smith v. Mary Schectman

These appeals were instituted as two suits at law by Mary Schectman and her husband, Seymour Schectman, for damages for personal injuries received when an automobile, operated by Mrs. Schectman, and owned by her husband who was a passenger therein, went out of control after traveling over a rough spot in the pavement which was under construction by the defendant corporation. The trial resulted in a jury verdict in favor of the plaintiff wife for $2,000 and a verdict for the plaintiff husband of $7,000. The appeals have been consolidated pursuant to stipulations of the parties.
