Wallace v. Ludwig (Three Cases‪)‬

RUGG, Chief Justice. These are actions of tort. The first is brought to recover compensation for personal injuries sustained by the plaintiffs intestate, Phenelope Wallace, hereafter called the intestate, the second for her death, and the third for consequential damages caused to her husband. All arise out of the same incident and are founded on alleged negligence of the defendant in so operating his automobile as to strike the intestate while she was crossing a public way on foot. A general verdict was returned for the plaintiff in each case.
