Karen Slaubaugh v. Wilmer L. Slaubaugh

Karen Slaubaugh appealed from a judgment upon a jury verdict awarding her damages against her husband, Wilmer Slaubaugh, for
injuries that she received in a one-vehicle accident, but dismissing her claims against Wold Engineering, P.C. ["Wold"] and
Pierce County ["County"]. We reverse the judgment and remand for a new trial. The County improved various roads in the Rugby area during 1985. Wold was the engineer on the project, and Byron Construction
["Byron"] was the contractor. The construction was substantially completed before freeze-up, but some items remained to be
finished the following spring. Although the roads remained open to the traveling public throughout the construction period,
there were no traffic control or warning signs placed on the roads in question.
