Description
Plaintiff-appellant, Eileen M. Tiede, personal representative of the estate of her late husband, Charles F. Tiede (hereinafter Tiede), alleges that the negligence of defendant-appellee Loup Power District and that of defendant-appellee Geraldine Kennedy, the personal representative of the estate of her late husband, Arnold Kennedy, caused the 37-year-old Tiede's death when he was electrocuted while helping harvest crops on the Kennedy farm. At the close of plaintiff's evidence, the trial court sustained the defendants' motions to dismiss, and plaintiff appeals. Her six assignments of error fuse into claims that the trial court erred in concluding that (1) neither Loup Power District nor the Kennedy estate was negligent, (2) Tiede was contributorily negligent in a degree sufficient to bar his recovery as a matter of law, and (3) he assumed the risk of injury and was thus precluded from recovery as a matter of law. We affirm. On November 22, 1981, Tiede, a neighbor of the Kennedys, was working on the Kennedy farm under an exchange of work agreement whereunder Tiede and the Kennedys pooled equipment and helped each other harvest their respective crops.
