Edward Obenauer v. Liberty Mutual Insurance Co.
Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit
Decided July 10, 1990No. 89-5408NDPublishedCited by 5 opinions
1Per curiam
The district court granted summary judgment to Liberty Mutual Insurance Company (Liberty) after Edward Obenauer brought this product liability action against Liberty. Obenauer appeals, and we affirm.
Edward Obenauer severely injured his right hand while operating a baling machine designed by Vermeer Manufacturing Company (Vermeer). At the time Vermeer designed the baler, Liberty provided Vermeer with insurance and accident prevention services. Obenauer claims that because Liberty regularly inspected the baler and provided design advice to Vermeer, Liberty is liable to Obenauer for his injuries.
