This is an appeal from a $9,000 judgment after a nonjury trial in an action for damages for personal injury by a passenger, who had fallen inside a D. C. Transit bus. The negligence and liability of the bus company were not disputed in the trial court and the only error assigned on appeal concerns the amount of damages, based upon a finding that the injury incurred was permanent in nature.
