643 P.2d 1208 | Nev. | 1982
OPINION
Eula M. Bell has appealed from an order dismissing her complaint after the close of her case pursuant to NRCP 41(b). The complaint alleged that respondents were negligent in placing a portable heater in Bell’s motel room which injured her when she attempted unsuccessfully to step over the heater and instead fell against it, cutting her leg on a sharp corner.
We have repeatedly stated that a “motion for involuntary dismissal admits the truth of plaintiff’s evidence and all inferences that reasonably can be drawn therefrom, and the evidence must be interpreted in the light most favorable to plaintiff.” Baley & Selover v. All Amer. Van, 97 Nev. 370, 373, 632 P.2d 723, 724 (1981).
This case is reversed and remanded for a new trial.
