Description
The plaintiffs, Lourdes Pelayo, Rosalinda Pelayo, Maria G. Contreras, Frank Leon and Belynda Leon, sued defendant, Robert Bell, for damages incurred as the result of an automobile accident. Lourdes Pelayo settled his claim prior to trial. Counsel for plaintiffs and defendant agreed on an award of $600 to Belynda Leon for property damage to her car, which was driven by Frank Leon, prior to the trial. The court directed a verdict for Maria Contreras and Rosalinda Pelayo as to liability and awarded the fathers of the two girls medical expenses. The jury then returned a verdict against Frank Leon, but failed to fix damages to the two girls. The judge therefore sent the jury back again to return two verdicts as to the girls. Consequently, the jury returned verdicts of $400 for Maria Contreras and $500 for Rosalinda Pelayo. Plaintiffs now appeal from the judgment and denial of their motion for a new trial.
