Description
1 This litigation was occasioned by a small fire in an apartment bathroom at 1224 South Carson Street in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The present action was instituted by Wanda Lee Price (plaintiff below and plaintiff in error on appeal) who sought to recover against her mothers landlord, Roy W. Smith (defendant in error) for injuries sustained by her when burned in the course of the fire. She charged negligence in the installation of an improper, illegal and defective connection to the bathroom heater which was asserted to have caused the escaping gas to ignite. The trial court directed the jury to return a verdict in favor of the defendant-landlord, and plaintiff brought this appeal after her motion for a new trial was denied. The sole question submitted for our determination is whether the evidence adduced below is sufficient, as a matter of law, to show the existence of any legal duty on the part of the defendant to protect plaintiff from the injury claimed to have been sustained.
