TRAYNOR v. CARTER, 87 Nev. 281 (1971)

485 P.2d 966

BUD TRAYNOR, APPELLANT, v. JACK CARTER, RESPONDENT.

No. 6426Supreme Court of Nevada.
June 10, 1971

Appeal from Second Judicial District Court, Washoe County; John W. Barrett, J.

Nada Novakovich, of Reno, for Appellant.

Gray, Brooke and Wells, of Reno, for Respondent.

OPINION
Per Curiam:

The district court found that the bailee was negligent in failing to protect the bailor’s automobile from damage by freezing while it was in the bailee’s custody and awarded the bailor damages therefor.[1] Although the evidence was in conflict with respect to the terms of the bailment and its duration, substantial evidence supports the finding made and this court may not tamper with it.

Affirmed.

[1] The general duty of care imposed upon the bailee is expressed in Alamo Airways, Inc. v. Benum, 78 Nev. 384, 374 P.2d 684 (1962); Gaudin Motor Co. v. Wodarek, 76 Nev. 415, 356 P.2d 638 (1960); Manhattan Ins. Co. v. Central Garage, 54 Nev. 147, 9 P.2d 682 (1932); Donlan v. Clark, 23 Nev. 203, 45 P. 1 (1896).
