Grimont ex rel. Grimont v. Hartman , 1 Sadler 434 ( 1886 )


Menu:
  • Per Curiam:

    All the evidence was insufficient to justify a submission of this case to the jury. It fails to show the kind of machinery used, or that it was defectively constructed, or out of repair. In the absence of any proof to the contrary, the presumption is that it was suitable for the purpose for which it was used, and with reasonable care of an employee, could be operated without danger. This is all the law imposes on an employer. He does not guarantee absolute safety.

    Judgment affirmed.
