Description
On May 1, 1957, Wilkins Co., Inc., a Colorado corporation, was engaged as a general contractor in a construction project at Torrington, Wyoming. John N. Starks, then 24 years old, who was employed by a subcontractor, fell from the top of a ladder and sustained spinal injuries which rendered him a total and permanent quadraplegic. Starks brought a damage action against Wilkins Company for $750,000, alleging that an employee of Wilkins Company negligently moved an extension cord attached to his electric drill, thereby causing him to fall from the ladder on which he was working.
