Ideal Lease Service v. Amoco Production Co‪.‬

This appeal involves the construction of an indemnity contract. Terry Thompson (Thompson) sued Amoco Production Company (Amoco) and Ideal Lease Service, Inc. (Ideal) to recover for personal injuries. Amoco cross-claimed Ideal seeking contractual indemnity in the event Thompson was awarded recovery. In a jury trial, special issues were answered favorably to Thompson and Ideal and against Amoco. Judgment was rendered whereby Thompson recovered his damages from Amoco, and Amoco was denied relief on its cross-claim. On appeal, the court of appeals affirmed in part and reversed in part the judgment of the trial court and remanded a portion of the cause for a new trial. 657 S.W.2d 824. Full settlement has been made with Thompson, and he is not a party to this appeal. We reverse the judgment of the court of appeals and affirm the trial court judgment.
