Description
This appeal is from a summary judgment by the district court. The action is for damages arising out of an industrial accident. The plaintiff-appellant, Dorla Summers, alleged in her complaint that she was instructed to clean a certain piece of machinery
at respondents' processing plant, and in the course of doing so her clothing became entangled in the machinery. She was pulled
into the machinery, and received certain physical injuries of a relatively minor nature. Her clothing was ripped off, and
she was left "standing nude in front of her fellow employees." The appellant applied for and received workmen's compensation
benefits for the physical injuries. She then brought this action seeking recovery of $10,000 for "great mental anguish together
with nervous shock" and for pain and suffering. Appellant stresses in her brief on appeal that she is not suing for pain and
suffering from the physical injuries but for the pain, suffering, mental anguish and nervous shock resulting from having her
clothing stripped from her body in front of fellow employees. She alleges the accident resulted from the negligence of her
employer.
