Description
The plaintiff sought damages in this
action for personal injuries. Her claim arose out
of an occurrence which took place during her employment
at the plant of the Silver Lane Pickle
Company in East Hartford. She was engaged in
packing pickles in glass jars. Incident to the
process she would, as site used each jar, tap it
on a table in order to have the pickles she had
placed in the jar settle down for better packing.
She claims that as she tapped a particular jar in
this manner it exploded into tiny fragments and
the palm of her hand was seriously "tit. Her
action is against the manufacturer of the jar, a
corporation having its plant in Ohio. Several
grounds of negligence were alleged. The defendant
denied fault on its part and alleged that the
plaintiff was negligent in the manner in which
site handled the jar and that any injury site
sustained was due to her own negligence. The
issues were tried to a jury, who returned a
verdict for the plaintiff. A motion to set aside
the verdict was denied, and the case is before us
on the defendant's appeal. The assignments of error attack the finding in
a single particular. We will first consider this.
The paragraph in question was concerned only with
the claim that the jury had the right to infer
that the injury to the plaintiff "will last some
time in the future." It was this speculative element,
bearing upon the extent of plaintiff's' injury, that
is the basis for the attack upon the court's charge,
in which error is also assigned. A finding in a case
