Allied Machinery, Inc. v. Wilson

REYNOLDS, Judge.

Leslie Circuit Court entered judgment pursuant to jury verdict awarding plaintiff-appellee Lehman Wilson damages for personal injuries resulting from the negligence of Allied Machinery, Inc. through its employee, Lonnie Allen, appellants herein. The judgment allowed Wilson’s employer’s compensation carrier, appellee Liberty Mutual Insurance Company, to recoup workers’ compensation benefits paid to Lehman Wilson prior to the trial. Since we determine appellees’ remedy was limited to workers’ compensation, we reverse the judgment with directions for the complaint to be dismissed.
