Mapson v. Montgomery White Trucks, Inc.

This is an appeal from an order granting summary judgment in favor of Mapson's employer on the basis of the employer's immunity under Alabama's Workmen's Compensation Act. We affirm.

Under the stipulated facts, Montgomery White Trucks, Inc. sold a truck to J.R. Rutledge. Several months later, the truck was returned for repairs under warranty. Mapson, as an employee of Montgomery White, and "pursuant to his employment with said employer" was repairing the truck when it rolled over him, resulting in serious permanent injuries. Mapson collected workmen's compensation benefits.
