New York Court of Appeals

Anna Weigand, Respondent v. United Traction Company, Appellant

May 15, 1917221 N.Y. 39

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals reversed the Appellate Division's judgment and ordered a new trial because the plaintiff's testimony that she looked toward an approaching trolley car in full view and did not see it was deemed legally incredible, establishing contributory negligence as a matter of law.
