Description
Defendants below appeal from an adverse judgment entered after a trial to a jury. Plaintiffs home was destroyed by fire at a time when plaintiffs believed that it was insured by a Trinity policy issued by the local agent, Davis Insurance Agency, Inc. When plaintiffs demands for payment were denied, plaintiffs sued alleging both defendants were negligent. The jury agreed with plaintiffs, finding both defendants guilty of negligence proximately causing the loss sustained by the plaintiffs. Each defendant sought indemnity against the other but full indemnity was denied and Trinity was awarded indemnity against Davis only for all it was required to pay in excess of 49% Of the total judgment, with Davis being awarded indemnity against Trinity for all in excess of 51% Of the total judgment it was required to pay.
