DAVISON V. SNOHOMISH COUNTY
Sup. Ct. of Wash., 149 Wash. 109, 270 P. 422 (1928)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was a suit to recover damages for negligence.
FACTS: Davison (P) crossed County's (D) bridge and after crossing as his car rounded a
curve to the east of the slough he lost control of his car. It skidded and struck the
railing on the east or outer edge of the approach to the bridge and P was severely injured
when the car broke through the railing and fell to the ground. P sued under negligence; the
guardrail was not strong enough to hold a car, that there was dirt on the approach which
contributed to the skidding, and that the approach to the bridge was improperly banked.
After a verdict was returned for P, D motioned for judgment n.o.v. and a new trial. They
were denied and D appealed.
