Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York March 1, 1948 (Tropp v. Jacobs)

Van Voobhis, J.

The determination of this appeal depends chiefly upon whether improper statements by plaintiff’s counsel to the jury at the close of the evidence and in his summation were prejudicial, so as to require setting aside plaintiff’s verdict for $8,000 and the granting of a new trial. It is an action to recover damages for personal injuries from negligence in an automobile accident.
