Description
This is a suit for damages for personal injuries growing out of an electrical contact made by respondent Brooks (plaintiff in the trial court) with a high-voltage line owned and maintained by petitioner, Houston Lighting & Power Company (defendant in the trial court). The trial court entered judgment based on a jury verdict in favor of respondent, out of which judgment was decreed to the Travelers Insurance Company, compensation insurance carrier, the amount it had paid respondent for his injury and medical expenses. Petitioner had moved for an instructed verdict at the close of respondents case, and later for judgment non obstante veredicto, which motions were overruled. Petitioner appealed to the Court of Civil Appeals and the judgment of the trial court was there affirmed. 319 S.W.2d 427.
