Court Orders New Trial For Woman in Damage Suit
The Indiana Court of Appeals ordered a new trial for Sylvia R. Wells of Columbus after ruling Bartholomew Superior Court erred by not charging the jury with two requested instructions. Wells sought damages from the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad for the wrongful death of her 14 year old son Tommy Joe Wells, a passenger in a truck involved in the crossing accident. The court found the trial judge gave only a general negligence instruction, omitting Wells’ claim that the crossing was extra hazardous and required additional warning.
