Bird v. Richardson

Plaintiff, Eugene Bird, and defendant, John A. Richardson, an agent of defendant, W. R. Grace and Co., were the drivers of two automobiles involved in an accident on Colorado Highway 86 at about 3:45 p.m. on October 13, 1955. Plaintiff brought suit to recover for personal injuries and property damage sustained in the collision, alleging that they were sustained as the proximate result of Richardsons negligence. Defendants answer denied negligence and averred as an affirmative defense that the plaintiffs negligence or carelessness proximately caused or contributed to the happening of the accident. Plaintiff here seeks reversal of a verdict and judgment entered in favor of defendants.
