Description
Action commenced by plaintiff Eugene N. Jaster against defendants Carlet Miller and Rural Mutual Casualty Insurance Company,
his insurer; Martin Kujak, Frank Kujak, Emil J. Kujak and Hubert I. Hujak, doing business a Walske Transfer (hereafter called
Walske Transfer), and Chicago Ice Producers Mutual Liability Company, their insurer; Moore Motor Freight Lines and its insurer,
Bruce Dodson, attorney in fact for subscribers at Casualty Reciprocal Exchange. The action arose out of a collision between
an automobile driven by Carlet Miller and a truck driven by Martin Kujak, in which Jaster was a passenger. At the time of
the accident the truck was leased by Moore Motor Freight Lines from Walske Transfer and was being operated by Martin Kujak
in the business of Moore Motor Freight. A cross-complaint was filed by Moore Motor Freight and Bruce Dodson against Walske
Transfer and the Chicago Ice Producers Mutual Liability Company for any damages which might be incurred by Moore and Dodson
in the event the negligence of Martin Kujak should be established. A plea in abatement by Chicago Ice Producers was sustained.
During the trial Rural Mutual Casualty Company and Bruce Dodson settled the claim of Eugene Jaster and the trial proceeded
with Carlet Miller taking the position of plaintiff. Upon a jury verdict apportioning the negligence 75 per cent to Martin Kujak and 25 per cent to Carlet Miller, judgment was
entered for Miller against Walske Transfer, Moore Motor Freight Lines and Bruce Dodson, in the sum of $14,092.86. The issues
presented on the cross-complaint were tried to the court without the jury and on June 15, 1954 findings of fact, Conclusions
of law and order for judgment were signed by the court ordering that Moore Motor Freight Lines and Bruce Dodson have judgment
against Walske Transfer in the sum of $4,000, which is the amount paid by Dodson in settlement of the Jaster claim, together
with such sums as Dodson might be required to pay to Miller. All adjudications were embodied in one judgment entered July
9, 1954. Moore Motor Freight Lines, Bruce Dodson and Walske Transfer appeal from the portion of the judgment in favor of Miller.
Walske Transfer also appeals from 'the findings of fact, Conclusions of law and order for judgment as signed by the Court
on the 15th day of June, 1954' in favor of Moore Motor Freight Lines and Dodson against Walske Transfer.
