Description

Jayma Watson (Watson) suffered severe injuries to her right leg and foot when the motorcycle on which she was riding as a passenger collided with a bus owned and operated-by the Regional Transportation District (RTD). The motorcycle was operated by Watson's husband, Randy. Watson  brought a negligence action against RTD. A jury determined that she had suffered damages in the amount of $100,000 and that fifty-one percent of the damages were caused by the negligence of RTD and forty-nine percent by the negligence of Randy Watson. The trial court ruled that the negligence of Watson's husband must be imputed to her and entered judgment in favor of Watson and against RTD in the sum of $51,000. Watson appealed and RTD cross-appealed. The Colorado Court of Appeals upheld the imputation of the negligence of Randy Watson to his wife but reversed the judgment and remanded for a new trial on the basis of RTD's cross-appeal because of defects in the jury instructions. Watson v. Regional Transp. Dist., 729 P.2d 988 (Colo. App. 1986). We granted Watson's petition for certiorari to review the imputation of negligence issue, and granted RTD's cross-petition for certiorari to resolve a work product question not addressed by the court of appeals. We conclude that the negligence of Watson's husband should not have been imputed to her and that the trial court properly resolved the work product issue. We therefore remand the case to the court of appeals with directions to return it to the trial court for a new trial.
