Cuneo v. Philadelphia Transportation Co.

Dissenting Opinion by

Mr. Chief Justice Bell :

The jury’s verdict in awarding, and the Opinion of this Court in sustaining damages of $41,000 to a 65 year old woman based to a large degree on a work expectancy of 14 more years, is so unfair and unrealistic as to necessitate a substantial reduction. I would grant a new trial limited to the question of damages.

Mr. Justice Benjamin E. Jones joins in this dissenting opinion.
