Young v. Anaconda American Brass Company

This is an action for damages by reason of personal injuries suffered by an employee against a statutorily described third party (sec. 102.29, Stats.), alleging a safe-place statute violation. The defendant, the statutory third party, then served a cross complaint upon the employer alleging a safe-place statute violation on the part of the employer and the right to recover any monetary liability it had to the plaintiff from his employer by virtue of a contract of indemnity. A motion for severance was denied and all issues were tried together by court and jury.
