Description
The purpose of this action was to recover damages that resulted from an automobile accident, and the cause was tried to the court without a jury. The action was brought by Phyllis M. Pearson in her own behalf and as administratrix of the estate of her deceased husband. In the complaint, there were three causes of action, separately stated. In the first, damages were sought for the pain and suffering which the deceased endured after the accident and prior to his death. Upon this cause of action, the court allowed $1,000 as damages for pain and suffering, and $561.75 for expenditures for doctor's services and hospital charges. The second cause of action was for the loss sustained by reason of the death of the plaintiff's husband. Upon this cause of action, the court awarded damages for the death in the sum of $1,500, and $400 for funeral expenses. The third cause of action was for the injuries sustained by the plaintiff individually, and upon this cause of action the plaintiff was awarded $1,000 for her injuries, and $134.50 for doctor's services. From the judgment entered in accordance with the findings and conclusions, as above indicated, the defendants appeal, and the plaintiff cross-appeals upon the amount of damages allowed in the second and third causes of action. There is no question here over the amount of the first.
