U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 11-3044
and No: 11-3081
U.S. District Court for the District of Nebraska - North Platte
[PUBLISHED] [Murphy, Author, with Benton and Shepherd, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Torts. District court did not err in finding the County had
breached its duty of care because the traffic sign located at the scene of
plaintiff's accident was not reflective and was placed too close to a curve;
nor did the court err in determining that the negligence was a proximate
cause of the accident; district court properly weighed and determined
plaintiff's contributory negligence and did not err in apportioning 40%
blame to him and 60% blame to the county.
