the apparent danger was from that direction, and did not again look to the north. She did not see Mrs. Murphy's vehicle before being struck. The defendants contend that Mrs. Lutz should have or could have seen the Murphy car when she looked the first time. However, Mrs. Lutz testified that she took about 17 steps from the curb to the center line and waited for "a couple of seconds" for the truck to pass before being struck. Keeping in mind the visibility to the north, the amount of time which passed between the time Mrs. Lutz stepped off the curb until she was struck, and the fact that she did not again look to the north after leaving the curb, it is not incredible that Mrs. Lutzcourt is inclined to defer to the decision of the trial court in refusing to grant a new trial in the interest of justice.[11]
In determining that the jury's award did not render the verdict perverse, the trial court reviewed the evidence as to the nature and extent of Mrs. Lutz' injuries. That review is an accurate summary of the record in this case. The record reveals that Mrs. Lutz was *758 thrown down as the result of the impact, struck her head on the pavement and was dazed but not rendered unconscious. She suffered a lump on her head and considerable pain in her sides, hips, neck and head. In her various visits to Dr. Fetherston, she complained of pain in her head, hip, neck, back and shoulders.
