Blair v. Werner Enterprises

Supreme Court of Iowa

Decided February 25, 2004No. 02-2124Published

1Opinion of the Court

LARSON, Justice.

Werner Enterprises was sued after one of its trucks was involved in a chain-reaction accident on Interstate 80 in Dallas County, Iowa. Werner sought contribution by counterclaiming against the plaintiffs and cross-claiming against the other defendants. The plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed their case in Dallas County in order to pursue their claim in a federal court in Texas. Following this dismissal, the plaintiffs moved to dismiss Werner’s contribution claims. The district court granted the motion to dismiss, and we affirm.
