Description
This appeal arises out of a personal injury lawsuit following a collision between the plaintiffs automobile and a semi-trailer truck engaged in interstate commerce owned and driven by LeRoy A. Riedel, Sr. Riedels truck was subject to a "permanent" lease to Britton Motor Service, a licensed common carrier. Truck Insurance Exchange (TIE), Brittons insurer, obtained the settlement and dismissal of the plaintiffs claims and now appeals a summary judgment dismissing its cross-claim for contribution/indemnity against another licensed carrier, Wal-Zon Transfer and its insurer, New Hampshire Insurance Company. TIE asserts that the circuit court erred by ruling as a matter of law that Wal-Zon had not leased Riedels truck for the trip in progress when the accident occurred. We conclude that the facts of record reasonably give rise to competing inferences whether Britton or Wal-Zon leased the truck and reverse the summary judgment as to both Wal-Zon and New Hampshire and remand for further proceedings.
