TAYLOR V. OLSEN
282 Or. 343, 578 P.2d 779 (1978)
NATURE OF THE CASE: Taylor (P) appealed from a directed verdict that was in favor of
Olsen (D) in an action for injuries sustained by P when she struck a tree that had fallen in
the road.
FACTS: P sued for damages for injuries she sustained when her car, on a dark and windy
January evening, struck a tree which shortly before had splintered and fallen across a
County road. The trial court directed verdicts for Clackamas County, the owner of the
right-of-way on which the tree was located, and D, the adjoining landowner who was alleged
to be in possession of the same location. P appeals from the judgment entered on the
directed verdict for D.
