Aloina M. White, as Administratrix of the Estate of Jesse H. White, Deceased, Respondent v. Lehigh Valley Railroad…

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals reversed the Appellate Division's affirmation of a verdict for the plaintiff, holding that the plaintiff failed to prove that alleged defects in the freight car were the proximate cause of the brakeman's death, and therefore the trial court should not have submitted the issue to the jury.
