Sherman v. Platte County

Wyoming Supreme Court

1Opinion of the Court

RAPER, Justice.

This suit was initiated on a claim of negligence. Judgment was entered in favor of appellee (defendant) following a jury verdict finding no negligence on the part of either party. The issue appellant raises here concerns the accuracy of the instructions submitted to the jury. Specifically appellant challenges jury instruction No. 17 which she contends removed the obligation of an owner or an occupant of land to exercise reasonable care in keeping the premises safe whenever an invitee should have known of the existence of a specific dangerous condition.

We will affirm.
