Description
SIMS, Justice. Appellant, Mrs. Ida R. Lawson, sued Booker Sitgraves, Earl Starks and Herman Moore, partners doing business as the Derbytown Cab Company, for $10,000 damages and $500 doctor's bill, alleged to have been sustained by her while a passenger in one of their cabs as a result of it colliding with an automobile. The trial resulted in a verdict in her favor for $120 for her personal injuries and $77 to reimburse her for a doctor's bill, and from the judgment entered thereon she appeals. Mrs. Lawson asks a reversal on the sole ground that the damages of $120 awarded her are inadequate. The driver of the cab in which Mrs. Lawson and her husband were passengers on the night of Oct. 19, 1941, attempted to pass a car going in the same direction at a street intersection in Louisville. Instead of going to the left at the intersection, as the cab driver had anticipated, the car turned to the right and as the cab was passing on the right side of the car the rear bumper of the cab hung for a moment on the front bumper of the car. Both were traveling at a slow rate of speed, their contact was not violent, and the cars immediately disengaged themselves without damage to either vehicle, and each proceeded on its way without the accident being reported to the police. There was a slight jar from the momentary hanging of the bumpers of the vehicles, and the two passengers on the back seat of the cab did not alight or claim at the time to be injured. The driver testified when Mrs. Lawson entered his cab she remarked that she had been ill and he helped her in the cab, which she denied.
