Description

This is an action brought by Mrs. Grace Trout against Victor Talerico, doing business as the Tally-Ho Club, for injuries sustained by plaintiff in a collision with a waitress employed by defendant. Plaintiff, a resident of Omaha, was in the Tally-Ho Club on the evening of July 8, 1944. She collided with a waitress, Mrs. Barkley, who was carrying two cups of hot coffee. The coffee spilled on plaintiff's forearm and on her leg, burning her. Plaintiff in her petition alleges negligence of the waitress and lack of contributory negligence on her part. Defendant denies the charges of negligence and alleges that plaintiff's injuries were due to her own contributory negligence. Defendant's motion for directed verdict was overruled and verdict rendered in favor of plaintiff. Motion for judgment notwithstanding verdict was overruled. There are two errors assigned: (1) that the court erred in overruling defendant's motions and (2) that the court was in error in sustaining plaintiff's objection to the admission of certain testimony of defendant offered on redirect examination.
