Hirschman v. Maddox

This is an action brought by plaintiff-appellant, Robert Hirschman, against the defendant-appellee, Kevin Maddox, for damages as a result of a farm accident that occurred when Hirschman was employed as a farmhand by Maddox. Hirschman asserted that Maddox was negligent in failing to warn Hirschman, to supervise him, and to provide him a safe place to work. Maddox answered that Hirschman’s negligence barred his recovery and that he assumed the risk of his actions. The court granted Maddox’s motion for summary judgment and overruled a motion for a new trial. This appeal followed.
