Kuhlke & Associates, Inc. v. Carpet Shop
Kuhlke & Associates, Inc. v. Carpet Shop
Opinion of the Court
Plaintiff Walter Bennett brought this suit to recover damages for personal injuries received when he fell while climbing a ladder. It was alleged that the fall was caused by the negligence of the defendant Kuhlke. Subsequently, Kuhlke, as third-party plaintiff, impleaded the Carpet Shop as third-party defendant, alleging that the third-party defendant by its negligence caused plaintiffs injuries. Kuhlke appeals from the trial court’s grant of the third-party defendant’s motion for summary judgment.
An examination of the pleadings and the evidence submitted show that there are genuine issues of material fact for resolution by a jury concerning the factual question as to which party defendant replaced the ladder as well as on an issue of independent intervening cause. It
Judgment reversed.
