DAMAGES, § 358 — when amount awarded for personal injuries is inadequate. On appeal by plaintiff 68 year old janitor, in action for personal injuries, because of alleged inadequacy of $1,000 amount awarded him, held that difference between $1,000 verdict and judgment, and amount necessarily expended by plaintiff as result of accident, was approximately $130, which seemed grossly inadequate, considering nature of his injuries which included fractured skull, three fractures of left leg, atrophy of thigh and calf, excess lateral movement of left knee joint, and impairment of sense of smell, to say nothing of pain and suffering, and impairment of capacity to work up to time of trial and probably' thereafter.
