Description
This is an action by Osie Fairley, as plaintiff, against the defendant, St. Louis Public Service Company, to recover damages
for personal injuries alleged to have been sustained by plaintiff on July 6, 1958, while a passenger on a bus owned and operated
by defendant. The trial below resulted in a verdict and judgment for plaintiff in the sum of $2,000.00. From the judgment
defendant has appealed. The case was pleaded and submitted on the theory of res ipsa loquitur, the petition alleging that when the bus was at or
near the intersection of Waterman Avenue and Union Boulevard plaintiff arose from her seat in the bus in order to alight therefrom,
and that while so doing, due to the carelessness and negligence of the defendant, she was caused to violently and suddenly
come into contact with the seat of the bus and caused to sustain serious, painful and permanent injuries.
