Description
The plaintiff/appellant sustained serious injuries in an accident on June 29, 1984, in Lebanon, Laclede County, Missouri, while employed at the Bass Tracker Corporation. The plaintiff was working on a punch press at the time he sustained the loss of his left hand and distal forearm. He filed suit against four defendants in Jackson County, Missouri. The cause of action arose in Laclede County. Count I of plaintiff's petition alleged that Insurance Company of the State of Pennsylvania, 1 the workers' compensation insurance carrier, had negligently conducted safety inspections on the machinery involved. Count II charged that Rockford Systems, Inc. was hired to review Bass Tracker's plant safety and negligently inspected the punch press. Count III alleged a similar charge against respondent Man-Morris. The final count was against the John Doe Corporation for which no service was obtained, and eventually the count was dismissed. The issue in the case is whether venue was proper in Jackson County, Missouri. Man-Morris is officed in Springfield, Greene County, Missouri, and placed the workers' compensation insurance for Bass Tracker Corporation which was in effect at the time of the plaintiff's injuries. Plaintiff charged that Man-Morris had previously conducted safety inspections of the employer's premises and assured plaintiff's employer that the hydraulic press which caused the plaintiff's injuries was in safe condition.
