Vincent v. Peter Pan Bakers, Inc.

A collision between two trucks killed both drivers instantly. In this negligence action—driver A’s representative v. employer B—plaintiff’s petition was dismissed on the ground of issue preclusion or collateral estoppel. A prior determination in another action— driver B’s representative v. employer A—was ruled conclusive of common issues concerning driver negligence. Plaintiff has appealed.

In the former action a jury had returned a verdict for driver B’s representative, and judgment on the verdict was affirmed as to liability. Lorenzen v. Continental Baking Co., 180 Neb. 23, 141 N. W. 2d 163.
