Parties | LUKOSEVICIA v. BARTOW. |
Appeal from Superior Court, New Haven County; Isaac Wolfe, Judge.
Action by Peter Lukosevicia, administrator, against Benjamin L Bartow. Judgment for defendant and plaintiff appeals. Error and new trial ordered.
The plaintiff's claims as to defendant's negligence, as alleged in the complaint and made at the trial, were as follows:
(2) That at said time and place defendant was operating a motor vehicle upon said highway, passing in the same direction as plaintiff's intestate was walking, and that he operated it in a careless and negligent manner, so that said motor vehicle struck said plaintiff's intestate while he was a traveler on said highway, inflicting injuries, from which plaintiff's intestate died within a short time thereafter.
(3) That defendant failed to give plaintiff's intestate any warning of his approach by blowing a horn as he approached him, failed to slacken his speed as required by law when overtaking plaintiff's intestate, and did not seasonably turn to the left, and drove his car at an unreasonable and reckless rate of speed, in view of the width and traffic of said highway.
(4) That defendant by the exercise of reasonable care could have seen plaintiff's intestate as he was walking down the highway in ample time to stop said motor vehicle before striking him, and that he failed and neglected to keep a careful lookout so as to avoid exposing plaintiff's intestate to danger, and that plaintiff's intestate did not contribute to his injuries by any want of care upon his part.
The assignments of errors are these:
(1) The court erred in its entire charge in failing to present to the jury all the issues that arose in the trial of the cause, and the charge was inadequate to present all of said questions and to be a sufficient guide to the jury on all questions of law arising in the course of said case.
(2) The court erred in charging the jury as follows:
