GEORGE W. WHITE, as Administrator of the Estate of RICHARD K. WHITE, Deceased, Respondent, v. COYLE WRECKING AND LUMBER CORP. et al., Appellants.

The judgment appealed from is for the aggregate of the jury's verdicts upon two causes of action, one to compensate for decedent's conscious pain and suffering and the other for the pecuniary injury occasioned by his wrongful death. Appellants' contentions are that the verdicts are against the weight of evidence and for excessive damages. In our opinion the verdicts are amply supported by evidence as respects all pertinent issues as to negligence. We consider that the amounts of damages awarded constituted high assessments but we cannot say, as to either cause of action, that the award was so unsupported by evidence as to be excessive. Judgment and orders unanimously affirmed, with costs.
