Alfred Wayne Marshbank v. Austin Bridge Company

This is an appeal from a take nothing judgment rendered against appellant in favor of all appellees. Appellant, brought suit against a premises owner (Nueces County Navigation District No. 1), a contractor (Austin Bridge Company) and a sub-contractor, (Pressure Concrete Construction Company) for personal injuries which he sustained while conducting his duties as boarding agent for Boyd-Campell, Inc., a steamship agent/stevedore company. In connection with appellants suit, appellee-Austin Bridge Company sought contractual indemnity from co-appellee-Pressure Concrete Construction Company which was denied by the trial court. Austin Bridge Company attacks this denial in its cross-appeal against Pressure Concrete Construction Company.
