Description
On April 4, 1957, Mrs. Jane Gipson, who was pregnant with child, was being transported by ambulance to the Stanford Hospital where her child was to be delivered. A collision between the ambulance and an automobile owned and driven by Roland Shugg occurred at the intersection of 26th Avenue and Clement Street in San Francisco. The accident occurred at about 12:20 p.m. The child was born about 40 minutes after the accident. The child showed signs of brain damage immediately after the accident, it being subsequently determined that such damage was permanent and that the child was suffering from a disability diagnosed as cerebral palsy. A personal injury action was thereafter instituted by the childs father, Edward T. Gipson, as guardian ad litem on behalf of the child, by the said father in his individual capacity, and by Mrs. Gipson against the ambulance company and its driver, and against Shugg and Davis Realty Company, a corporation, as the alleged employer of Shugg. The cause proceeded to trial ultimately with the child (by his said guardian) and Edward T. Gipson, individually, as plaintiffs, and Davis Realty Company as the sole defendant. A trial was had before a jury and a verdict was returned against the plaintiffs and for the defendant. No attack is made on this appeal as to the substantiality of the evidence, the appeal being directed to the propriety of certain instructions and rulings made by the trial court.
