Description
Gilbert and Sherin Sumner sued Ideal Steel Products, Inc. (""ISP"") for injuries they allegedly sustained when Gilbert fell from an elevated platform erected by ISP. The complaint alleged that ISP was negligent in failing to install guardrails around the perimeter of the platform. The Sumners claimed damages resulting from Gilbert Sumner's personal injuries and from Sherin Sumner's loss of consortium. At trial, following the close of all the evidence, ISP moved for a directed verdict on the grounds that Gilbert Sumner assumed the risk of working on the platform and that his own negligence caused his injuries. The trial court granted ISP's motion, and the Sumners appeal from that order. For reasons which follow, we affirm. ""A directed verdict is proper when all the evidence introduced and all reasonable inferences therefrom, construed in favor of the nonmoving party, demand a particular verdict. OCGA § 9-11-50 (a); [Cit.]"" Brown v. Carlisle, 214 Ga. App. 483 (448 S.E.2d 256) (1994).
