Description
Oralee Broussard sued Burton Construction & Shipbuilding Company, Inc., to recover damages for personal injuries sustained by him on July 14, 1951. Respondent alleged that he was an invitee on petitioners premises and was standing near the barge when the explosion occurred. He alleged negligence generally and relied on the doctrine of res ipsa loquitur. He further alleged certain specific acts and omissions of petitioner as constituting negligence. The pleadings, in the alternative, presented the issue that respondent, if not an invitee, was on the premises as a licensee, and that he was entitled to recover damages on the theory of licensee and active negligence. Respondent also sued Texas Employers Insurance Association, alleging, in the alternative, that it was the workmens compensation insurance carrier for petitioner at the time of the explosion and that if he was not an invitee or licensee that he was then an employee of petitioner and entitled to recover under the workmens compensation law.
