Description
Maryland Casualty Company brought this suit against American Employers Insurance Company to recover the sum of $11,250 as a contribution toward the sum of $26,750 which Maryland Casualty has paid in satisfaction of several judgments obtained against James Henry Arrington, W. E. Frye and Tyler Fountain by or on behalf of certain persons who were killed or injured on June 4, 1951 in Henry County, Virginia, in a collision between several vehicles including an automobile driven by Arrington, an employee of Frye, and an automobile driven by Fountain. At the time of the collision there were outstanding an automobile liability policy issued to Fountain by American Employers and also an automobile liability policy issued to Frye by Maryland Casualty, and the basis of the claim in suit was that Maryland Casualty, having paid the judgments as the insurer of Frye, was entitled to contribution from American Employers, the insurer of Fountain, to the extent of one-half of the money paid by Maryland Casualty in satisfaction of the judgments. The claim was reduced to the sum of $11,250 because of limitations of liability in the policy issued by American Employers. Judgment for that amount was given in the District Court.
