Description

STANLEY, Commissioner. This is a suit for indemnity. An employee of the appellee, Pittsburgh Fuel Company, left insecure the lid of a manhole into which he had unloaded coal, and a pedestrian was injured when it turned with him. A judgment for $5,277 for damages was rendered against the fuel company and the Brown Hotel Company. The verdict specified each should pay an equal part. The fuel company paid its part of the judgment without appeal. We affirmed the judgment for the other half against the hotel company. Brown Hotel Co. v. Sizemore, 303 Ky. 431, 197 S.W.2d 911. When the Liberty Mutual Insurance Company, its insurer, had satisfied the judgment, the hotel company assigned to it all its claims, demands and causes of action. Both companies joined in this suit against the fuel company asserting the right to recover the sums paid in satisfaction of the judgment and expenses incurred in defending the action. In the damage suit the fuel company had denied its negligence and charged sole negligence on the part of the hotel company as being responsible for the pedestrians injuries. Prior to the trial the trial company had notified the fuel company that it would hold it liable in the event of a recovery of judgment.
