Description
This action was instituted by the appellee for personal injuries allegedly sustained by him on December 14, 1946, at Shreveport, La., when a heavey door of the freight car that he and other employees were getting ready to unload fell upon him. The Fidelity & Casualty Company of New York intervened on account of workmens compensation payments made by it to the plaintiff. The defendants were the Illinois Central Railroad Co., Kansas City Southern Railroad Co., Guy A. Thompson, Trustee of Missouri Pacific Railroad Co., Joseph B. Fleming and Aaron Colnon, Trustees for the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad Co. The doctrine of res ipsa loquitur was invoked by the plaintiff-appellee. The verdict and judgment were solely against the defendant-appellant, a part of which was awarded to the intervener.
