Description
This is an appeal from an order granting a summary judgment and from a judgment thereon in the circuit court for Milwaukee
county. The action was brought by the American Mutual Liability Insurance Company, a compensation insurer, as a third-party
liability action following the plaintiff's payment of workmen's compensation. The underlying facts are these. On May 15, 1965, an employee of the Menominee Enterprises, Inc., at Neopit, Wisconsin, was
fatally injured by steam which escaped from a ruptured fitting on one of the boilers operated and owned by Menominee Enterprises.
American Mutual Liability Insurance Company, the plaintiff, paid workmen's compensation and commenced a tort action against
St. Paul Fire & Marine Insurance Company, a boiler insurer, on the theory that St. Paul had negligently performed inspections
on the boiler and failed to note and report a cast-iron fitting on the boiler. It is conceded that the cast-iron fitting was
in violation of the boiler code and that it was the rupture of this fitting that occasioned the accident.
