U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 06-4115
and No: 06-4188
U.S. District Court for the Western District of Arkansas - Texarkana
[PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Loken, Chief Judge, and
Gruender, Circuit Judge]
Civil case - torts. Evidence was sufficient to support the jury verdict in
this wrongful death action, as the evidence was sufficient to show that
defendant had a duty to remove the structure which caused plaintiff's
decedent's death and that a reasonably careful person would have
foreseen the appreciable risk of harm which failure to remove the
structure would create; jury instructions properly submitted the issues
concerning defendant's duties under its contract with the U.S. Army.
