Thaxton v. Travelers Indemnity Co.

OPINION

BROCK, Justice.

In this action two automobile liability insurance companies seek to recover contribution from a third insurance company which provided uninsured motorist coverage to the victim of the tort committed by their insureds.

Thomas B. Thaxton, Jr., was a passenger in an automobile driven by Cecil David Clark on a trip in connection with the business of Clark’s employer, Georgia-Carolina Land Company, when the Clark automobile collided with another vehicle driven by Calvin Mabe, an uninsured motorist. In the accident Thaxton was seriously injured and his driver, Clark, was killed.
