Bertha Brooks and John L. Brooks, Her Husband, Plaintiffs-Respondents v. Willie Mae Odom and New Jersey Transit Bus…

Summary

The Supreme Court held that the plaintiff did not suffer a permanent loss of a bodily function under the Tort Claims Act and therefore could not recover pain‑and‑suffering damages or out‑of‑pocket medical expenses, reversing the Appellate Division and reinstating the Law Division’s dismissal.
