The Court upheld the trial judge's finding that an extraordinary lurch occurred and that the lurch caused the plaintiff's arm to be thrown out, but found insufficient evidence to support the judge's conclusion that the driver was negligently driving unreasonably close to the girders; however, the plaintiff was held contributorily negligent to the extent of 50% and the trial judge was entitled to accept re-examination evidence to find a monthly income of $3,500 for assessment of damages; appeal allowed in part on liability and dismissed on quantum.
