2010AP406 Grieger v. Smithfield Beef Group-Green Bay, Inc., et al.

By: WISCONSIN LAW JOURNAL STAFF//May 3, 2011

Torts
Safe-place statute; negligence

Richard Grieger appeals a summary judgment dismissing his personal injury action that alleged negligence and safe-place violations. Grieger argues the circuit court erroneously concluded that the safe-place statute was inapplicable. Grieger further contends the court erroneously dismissed his claim that Smithfield Beef Group-Green Bay, Inc. is liable for ordinary negligence either because transporting cattle is extrahazardous work or because Smithfield committed affirmative acts of negligence. We reject Grieger’s arguments and affirm.
This opinion will not be published.
