This appeal is from a judgment for plaintiff based on a jury verdict in a personal injury action. Damages were awarded for injuries resulting from plaintiff's fall caused by an electrical shock from contact with a worn electrical wire on defendant's water tower. Defendant owned and maintained the water tower and had engaged plaintiff, a steeple jack, to clean and inspect the water tank. We affirm the judgment.
