Description
A jury awarded plaintiff, employee, $10,000 for injuries suffered when he fell into a hopper of the fertilizer spreader he
was operating. The spreader had been provided by his employer, defendant Edwards, and was owned by a fertilizer sales company,
defendant Handley. Judgment against each defendant was reversed by the Springfield Court of Appeals, and having sustained
plaintiff's application for trnasfer, we are to review the case "as on original appeal." Rule 84.05(h), V.A.M.R. Since defendants present different assignments of error, for the sake of clarity, we will consider separately the contentions
of each. While so doing, we must recognize that plaintiff, as the prevailing party, is entitled to have the evidence, including
all favorable inferences therefrom, considered in the light most favorable to him, and to have defendants' evidence disregarded
unless it aids plaintiff's case. Krug v. Sterling Drug, Inc., Mo., 416 S.W.2d 143.
