Description
BEATTY, JUSTICE. These negligence cases arose from a single accident and have been consolidated on appeal. Appellants Linda Ables and Wilma
Hodge were injured on the premises of their employer, Sunbelt Wood Components ( "Sunbelt" ), when a cart used to load lumber
broke apart, causing a pile of lumber to fall on them. They and their husbands brought claims against United States Fidelity
and Guaranty Company ("USF&G"), Sunbelt's workmen's compensation insurance carrier, alleging negligence on the part of
USF&G in its inspection of the plant prior to undertaking to insure Sunbelt. Following discovery, the trial court granted
summary judgment for USF&G, and the Ableses and Hodgeses have appealed.
