Yampa Valley Electric Association Inc. V. Telecky

This wrongful death action was brought by Gloria Telecky to recover damages for the electrocution death of her husband, Marvin, by electric power lines that were constructed and maintained by the Yampa Valley Electric Association (Yampa Valley). We granted certiorari to review the court of appeals decision in Telecky v. Yampa Valley Electric Association, 837 P.2d 253 (Colo. App. 1992), which reversed a judgment entered on a jury verdict in favor of Yampa Valley, and ordered a new trial.
