Manhattan-Dickman Construction Co. V. Shawler

This action was brought by Wayne T. Shawler and Michael F. Kumler to recover damages for injuries sustained during the course of construction of a coliseum at the State Fairgrounds in Phoenix, Arizona. Following trial, verdicts were returned in favor of plaintiffs against Manhattan-Dickman Construction Company and Allison Steel Manufacturing Company. On appeal and cross-appeal, the Court of Appeals by memorandum decision reversed, holding that the evidence was not sufficient to support a finding of negligence against either Manhattan-Dickman or Allison Steel. We accepted review. Opinion of the Court of Appeals vacated.
