John RICE, Appellant, v. Dennis Lee WADKINS and Stocks Mill and Supply Company, Inc., a Nevada Corporation, Respondents.

Supreme Court of Nevada.

November 10, 1976.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Goodman & Snyder and Richard W. Myers, Las Vegas, for appellant.

Cromer, Barker & Michaelson, Las Vegas, for respondents.


OPINION

PER CURIAM:

Appellant contends the district court erred by failing to apply our comparative negligence statute retrospectively. We disagree.

Appellant sought damages for personal injuries sustained in an automobile-pedestrian accident on April 7, 1971, in Las Vegas, Nevada. Subsequent to the accident, but before trial, the Nevada legislature enacted our comparative negligence statute.1
