ERICKSON, Justice.

We granted certiorari prior to judgment in the court of appeals to review the judgment entered against appellants in favor of appellee, Public Service Company of Colorado (Public Service). C.A.R. 50. We reverse. The only issue addressed in this opinion is whether the trial court erred in refusing to give certain jury instructions tendered by appellants concerning the standard of care by which Public Service's conduct was to be judged.
