Description
Opinion OF THE COURT The plaintiffs, Mae and Peter Giordano, husband and wife, were involved in a collision with a truck driven by the defendant McCartney on the business of the corporate defendants. Damages were sought primarily for injuries suffered by Mae Giordano. Peter Giordano sought damages for medical expenses resulting from his wife's injuries, the repair of his automobile, and for loss of consortium. A third party action was filed by the defendants against Peter Giordano. At the trial a critical issue arose as to whether the plaintiff vehicle was driven by Mae or Peter Giordano at the time of the accident. This issue was resolved in favor of the corporate defendants. In response to special interrogatories, Fed.Rules Civ.Proc. 49(a), the jury found that Mae Giordano was the driver of the plaintiff vehicle and that she and the defendant McCartney had been jointly negligent. Judgment was entered accordingly.
