Description
Action for personal injuries sustained when plaintiff slipped and fell on a patch of ice on a sidewalk. The case was tried
by the court without a jury, and on findings that both parties were causally negligent, and that defendant's negligence was
90% of the total negligence, judgment was entered for the plaintiff. Defendant appeals. The accident occurred about 11:00 A. M. on April 3, 1954, when the temperature was below freezing. A few minutes before the
accident, defendant had finished washing his car at the street curb across the sidewalk from a house which he owned. His 16
year old nephew, William Hanke, helped him as an unpaid volunteer. Defendant washed the street side of the car and William
the side next to the curb. Water was obtained by the pailful from a faucet on the outside of the house across the sidewalk.
The court found on sufficient evidence that defendant several times requested or directed William to get more water, and William
did so, and that in carrying the water from the faucet to the automobile some of it was spilled on the sidewalk, where it
froze. After the car washing was finished and defendant and William had left and the water had frozen, plaintiff walked along
the sidewalk in an easterly direction, failed to see the ice, and slipped and fell on it.
