Description
Leola Epps, the widow of Henry Epps, deceased, instituted an action under the death by wrongful act statute against Railway Express Agency, Inc., to recover damages for the alleged wrongful death of her husband caused by the negligence of the defendant. See Sections 768.01, 768.02, Florida Statutes, 1941, F.S.A. The parties went to trial upon the declaration and pleas of not guilty and contributory negligence. The verdict was against the widow and judgment was entered in favor of the defendant. Subsequently, the widow was appointed administratrix of her husbands estate and thereafter instituted the present action against the defendant, under the survival of actions statute, for the damages sustained by the deceased during his lifetime as the result of the negligence. See Sec. 45.11 Florida Statutes, 1941, F.S.A.
