BLANCHARD v. OTIS ELEVATOR COMPANY

Action to recover damages for injuries sustained by plaintiff when he tripped and fell while alighting from a self-service passenger elevator in an apartment house.

The jury awarded plaintiff $22,500, and defendant appeals. Judgment unanimously affirmed, with costs. No opinion.
