Description
On the evening of January 12, 1968, a pickup truck driven by Hazel Dawson, who was accompanied by her husband, Nathaniel Dawson, was struck by a vehicle driven by Ronald Olson. The accident occurred on the northeast edge of Caldwell soon after Mrs. Dawson turned from Interstate Highway 80 and stopped behind a semi-trailer truck parked on the exit ramp leading to an intersection with Franklin Road. Mrs. Dawson followed the semi-trailer truck onto Franklin Road. As Mrs. Dawson entered the intersection her car was struck by the Olson vehicle. The evidence showed a failure to stop at the stop sign or stop line by Mrs. Dawson and speeding by Olson. Mr. and Mrs. Dawson and two passengers in the Olson car died as a result of the accident. The Dawson heirs brought a wrongful death action against Olson, and State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company intervened due to its interest as the Dawson's insurer under a policy containing uninsured motorist coverage. A jury trial resulted in a verdict for the Dawson heirs with damages awarded in the amount of $75,000. Defendant and intervenor moved for a judgment n. o. v. or for a new trial and the Dawson heirs moved to compel the intervenor to pay attorney fees. The district court granted the judgment n. o. v. and denied the motion for attorney fees.
