Macdonald v. Eichenauer

Plaintiff sued to recover damages for personal injuries. After a verdict was returned against him judgment was entered thereon, and from this judgment and the order denying a new trial, he appeals. For clarity we shall refer to the parties as plaintiff and defendant. The sole question presented is whether the facts of the case justified the trial court in instructing the jury on the law of contributory negligence, plaintiff contending that this was not an issue in the case, and defendant contending that it was.
