Barrows Et Al. v. Leath & Co. Janesville

This action to recover damages for personal injuries was begun June 18, 1948. Judgment for the plaintiffs was entered March 1, 1950. Plaintiff Barrows is a mechanic who was injured while working on the elevator in defendant's store in the city of Janesville. Workmen's compensation was paid to him by plaintiff, Employers Liability Assurance Corporation, Ltd. The plaintiffs have joined in the action to recover their respective damages from the defendant. Since the insurance company's claim exists only by subrogation it will not be necessary in this case to discuss the insurer's claim apart from that of Barrows' and when reference is made to 'the plaintiff' it is he who is so designated.
