Anderson v. Oregon City Hospital Co.

This is an appeal by the defendant from a judgment in the sum of $12,217.25 which the circuit court entered in favor of the plaintiff. The judgment is based upon a jury verdict. The complaint charged the defendant with negligence in the maintenance of the floor of the hospital’s corridor and, referring to the defendant, states:

The first assignment of error challenges a ruling which denied the defendant’s motion for a directed verdict.
