Dahle v. Atlantic Richfield Co.

RABINOWITZ, Chief Justice.

OPINION

Kenneth and Betty Dahle brought an action for damages against Atlantic Rich-field Company (ARCO) after Kenneth Dahle was injured in an industrial accident. In their complaint, the Dahles alleged that Kenneth Dahle’s injuries were proximately caused by ARCO’s negligence. ARCO denied liability and a jury returned a special verdict in favor of ARCO, finding that ARCO owed no duty of care to Kenneth Dahle. Following the superior court’s denial of their motion for a new trial and entry of a final judgment, the Dahles appealed.
