Fore v. Circuit Court of Izard County

John I. Purtle, Justice.

This case concerns tort claims arising out of an on-the-job accident that resulted in the death of one employee and the injury of another. Both claims have been accepted by the employer and its insurance carrier as compensable injuries. The plaintiffs’ (respondents’) complaints filed against the petitioner, who was the supervisor of the work being done at the time of the accident, allege that the supervisor was negligent in keying a microphone, causing dynamite to explode. This explosion resulted in the injuries complained of by the respondents.
