Description
This is an action for damages for personal injuries arising as the result of the collision of two automobiles. Plaintiff Walter Froh, brought the action on behalf of himself personally and as guardian ad litem for his minor son, Walter Froh, Jr. He alleged in his complaint that his son Walter Froh, Jr. while riding as a guest in an automobile driven by the defendant DeLane Hein received personal injuries which were proximately caused by the gross negligence of DeLane Hein. He asked damages in the sum of $7,500.00 for personal injuries to his son, $1,500.00 for loss of wages suffered by his son and for $400.00 for medical and hospital bills incurred by himself. In their joint answer, the defendants W. L. Hein and DeLane Hein alleged that the damages suffered by plaintiffs were "due wholly and solely to the carelessness, recklessness and negligence of a driver on the highway other than the defendants and that the negligence of the plaintiff (Walter Froh, Jr.) contributed thereto. The action was tried before a jury in the District Court of McIntosh County. The jury returned a verdict in favor of the defendants for the dismissal of the action. Judgment was entered pursuant to the verdict. Thereafter plaintiffs moved for a new trial. This motion was denied and plaintiffs have appealed from the judgment and from the order denying a new trial.
