The opinion of the court was delivered by This is a personal injury action. Jacob Anderson appeals from
the trial court's grant of a partial directed verdict in favor of
Randy Scheffler and Industrial Bearing & Transmission Company. This case was before this court once before, and the underlying
facts were stated therein. Anderson v. Scheffler, 242 Kan. 857,
752 P.2d 667 (1988). For convenience, we again summarize them. On
February 2, 1982, Jacob Anderson and his brother James delivered
a load of poultry meal to Badger By-Products Company (Badger) in
Wyandotte County, Kansas, a plant owned by Beatrice Companies,
Inc., (Beatrice) a Delaware corporation. James backed the hopper
trailer over an underground auger pit and began to unload the
meal. From the top of the trailer, Jacob used a pole to push the
meal through an opening at the bottom of the trailer. When he
finished, Jacob descended from the trailer and walked across a
grate covering a second auger at the rear of the trailer. Jacob's
foot slipped between the bars of the safety grate and his foot
and leg plunged into the auger. His leg was severed above the
knee. 242 Kan. at 857-58.
