Description
On May 5, 1961, Edward Bister, an employee of Dick Bullis, Inc., an automobile dealer, was injured by an explosion in the companys paint shop. He was pumping gasoline from a drum. A moment before the explosion he heard a sound like that of two wires shortcircuiting each other. There were, in fact, as testified by the fire inspector, who investigated the accident, two bare hot wires close by. Bister sued Mausser Electric Company, Inc., Burlingame Motor Company, Inc. (hereinafter sometimes referred to as Burlingame Motors), and Peninsula Activities, Inc. In the action so far as it affected plaintiff, Bister, there was a trial by jury on the issue of liability but not on that of damages. The jurys verdict was in favor of plaintiff and against Burlingame Motors and Peninsula Activities, but was in favor of defendant Mausser Electric Company. By stipulation of the interested parties, judgment was entered in favor of the plaintiff and against the two defendants theretofore found liable, in the sum of $250,000.
