Olaf Hay v. Frances Ham

Plaintiff Olaf Hay sues Mrs. Frances Ham, defendant, to recover damages on account of personal injuries inflicted upon him
when Mrs. Ham allegedly caused a parked automobile to start up suddenly, climb a curb, cross a sidewalk, crash into the interior
of plaintiff's store and strike him. The action was originally filed against Mrs. Ham and her husband, John Ham, as joint defendants. However, the petition was
dismissed as against Mr. Ham before the jury was empaneled and the cause was tried against Mrs. Ham as the sole defendant.
The trial resulted in a jury verdict and judgment for plaintiff in the amount of $10,000.00. Defendant has appealed.
