Description
This was an action by appellant to recover damages for injuries suffered as a result of his tripping and falling into an open trench while crossing a street project being constructed by appellee. A verdict apportioning the comparative negligence in the accident, 85% to appellant and 15% to appellee, was returned by the jury. During the course of trial the court ruled that several exhibits offered by appellant as evidence of applicable safety standards in the construction industry were not admissible. Appellant has appealed claiming the effect of this ruling was to prevent him from establishing that appellee had breached the applicable standard of care by failing to provide adequate warnings or barricades for the protection of pedestrians around the construction site. Our review of the record has not established the asserted error as prejudicial, and we affirm.
