Anstine v. Briggs

Plaintiff appeals from the sustaining of motions for a directed verdict and the dismissal of his petition for damages incurred while employed by the defendants. We affirm.

In determining whether a party is entitled to a directed verdict, the evidence must be considered most favorably to the other party. Every controverted fact must be resolved in favor of the nonmoving party and he is entitled to the benefit of every reasonable inference that may be drawn therefrom. Hacker v. Perez (1971), 187 Neb. 485, 192 N. W. 2d 166. We briefly summarize the facts herein in accordance with those principles.
