Harless V. Ewing

We reversed a summary judgment for defendant in Harless v. Ewing, 80 N.M. 149, 452 P.2d 483 (Ct. App. 1969). The case has now been tried. The jury returned a verdict for plaintiff; defendant appeals. The issues concern: (1) res ipsa loquitur; (2) the loaned employee doctrine; (3) volunteer,; and (4) assumption of risk. We consider each of these issues and affirm. Since the issues are basically resolved by the evidence, we review it before applying it to the legal questions presented.
