South Dakota Supreme Court August 26, 1981, Nos. 13316, 13317 (Halvorson v. Huron Culvert & Tank Co.)

MORGAN, Justice.

As a result of an explosion, two personal injury actions were commenced against Huron Culvert & Tank Company (Huron Culvert). In turn, Huron Culvert sought indemnity and contribution from Weelborg, Inc., who had paid worker’s compensation benefits to the plaintiffs as their employer. On Weelborg’s motion the third-party complaint was dismissed and this appeal followed.
