Armstrong V. Industrial Electric And Equipment Service

Plaintiff, Keith Armstrong, d/b/a Armstrong Enterprises, filed suit against Industrial Electrical and Equipment Service, a corporation, seeking damages for injuries sustained by him while performing electrical work at Papa Felipe's Restaurant in Coronado Center, Albuquerque, New Mexico. Plaintiff alleged that he sustained severe shocks and burns as a proximate result of negligent and improper installation of electrical wiring by defendant. Defendant raised as an affirmative defense the contributory negligence of plaintiff, and the trial court submitted to the jury the issue of comparative negligence of the parties. From a judgment incorporating a jury verdict and finding in a special interrogatory that plaintiff was 100% negligent, the plaintiff appeals. We affirm.
