Syllabus

<p>Negligence — Damages—Exaggeration of injuries — Evidence.</p> <p>In an accident case where the defense charges simulation or at least gross exaggeration of injuries, and where the medical evidence is conflicting, it is proper for the trial judge in his charge to refer specifically to the subject of interest in the plaintiff, and to dwell somewhat on the weight of the other evidence; but he is not bound to do so. If he correctly instructs the jury as to their duty, in considering the weight of the evidence and the credibility of the witnesses, he cannot be charged with error in not going further.</p>
