Description
Randall Tipton sued Texaco, Inc. for personal injuries sustained in an accident at an oil well operation. Texaco, the operator of the well, filed a third-party complaint against Tipton's employer, X-Pert Well Service, Inc., and two other independent contractors, B.F. Walker, Inc. and Eunice Rental Tool, Inc., alleging X-Pert's breach of contract and negligence, and negligence of the others. The trial court dismissed Texaco's complaint first against Walker and Eunice, and later against X-Pert. After trial, the jury awarded damages and found Texaco to be 75%, and Tipton to be 25%, negligent. Texaco appeals; Tipton cross-appeals. We reverse.
