Description
Haskell Smith brought this suit against W. C. Henger, doing business as Henger Construction Company, for damages for personal injuries alleged to have been sustained by Smith as a result of falling into a shaft being used in the construction of the Mercantile Bank Building in Dallas, while Smith was working on the job as an employee of Westheimer Rigging and Heavy Hauling Company. Texas Employers Insurance Association, the insurer of Smiths employer, intervened asserting its right to subrogation to the extent of workmens compensation and medical and other expenses that it had paid to Smith, and also claiming a right to recover an attorneys fee. The plaintiff and the intervenor recovered judgment in the district court, but the Court of Civil Appeals, one judge dissenting, reversed and rendered judgment in favor of Henger. 222 S.W.2d 422.
