Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Woodbury County, Roger L. Sailer, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Bower, C.J., and Vaitheswaran and Greer, JJ. Opinion by Greer, J. (6 pages)
Robert Mrla appeals the district court ruling dismissing his claim of gross negligence against his coemployee, Kenny Johnson, brought under Iowa Code section 85.20 (2018). He claims the district court erred by finding there were insufficient facts to generate a jury question on gross negligence. OPINION HOLDS: We affirm the district court’s ruling granting Johnson’s motion for summary judgment, as Mrla failed to prove the elements of gross negligence.
