DeMoss Ex Rel. DeMoss v. Darwin T. Lynner Construction Co.

LeGRAND, Justice.

This is an appeal from a judgment in favor of plaintiff for injuries sustained when a quantity of dry-wall material fell on him. The accident occurred in a house being built for plaintiff’s brother. Suit was brought against the general contractor, Darwin T. Lynner Construction Company, Inc., and Donald R. Rife, dry-wall subcontractor. At the close of plaintiff’s evidence a motion for a directed verdict on behalf of the general contractor was sustained and the cause dismissed as to that defendant.

The only remaining defendant, Donald R. Rife, is the appellant here.
