Description
Jerry Jones (plaintiff) was injured on January 27, 1979, while working on a machine manufactured by Pak-Mor Manufacturing Company (defendant). In the product liability action which followed, plaintiff alleged improper design and sought recovery on theories of negligence and strict liability. Before trial, plaintiff moved to exclude all evidence of the absence of prior, similar accidents. The trial court granted plaintiff's motion, ruling that such evidence was inadmissible under Arizona law. After verdict and judgment for plaintiff, defendant appealed, claiming, inter alia, that the exclusion ruling was in error. The court of appeals affirmed. Jones v. Pak-Mor Manufacturing Co., 145 Ariz. 132, 700 P.2d 830 (1984). Defendant petitioned this court for review. We have jurisdiction. Ariz. Const. art. 6 § 5(3); Rule 23, Ariz.R.Civ.App.P., 17A A.R.S. We accepted review only on the issue pertaining to admissibility of evidence of the absence of prior accidents.
