Description

MOORE, J., pro tem. The Industrial Accident Commission having made its award in the sum of $2114.50, which was paid, to plaintiff for injuries sustained by him in the course of his employment by defendants, he subsequently instituted this action for damages. The Labor Code authorizes such an action where the employer fails to carry compensation insurance. After 21 days of trial, the jury returned a verdict in plaintiff's favor in the sum of $15,000. Upon defendants' motion for new trial, the judgment was reduced to $8500 and the motion was denied. To this reduction plaintiff consented. The court also allowed counsel fees in the sum of $1700. From the judgment as modified and from the order denying the motion for a new trial defendants appeal. The latter being nonappealable, the purported appeal therefrom must be dismissed.
