Description
CHIEF JUSTICE BILANDIC delivered the opinion of the court: The plaintiff, Russell Moore, brought an action in the circuit court of St. Clair County against the defendant, Centreville
Township Hospital (hereafter, hospital). The plaintiff sought damages for personal injuries he suffered while performing sewer
repair work at the hospital. The hospital, in turn, filed a third-party complaint against Albert Davinroy, doing business
as Davinroy Plumbing and Heating Company (hereafter, Davinroy), the plaintiff's employer, seeking contribution. The jury returned
a verdict in favor of the plaintiff and against the hospital. The jury also returned a verdict on the hospital's contribution
action finding Davinroy 80% at fault and the hospital 20% at fault for the plaintiff's injuries. The trial court entered judgment
on the jury's verdict and denied Davinroy's motions for judgment notwithstanding the verdict and for a new trial. Both the
hospital and Davinroy appealed. The appellate court affirmed. (246 Ill. App. 3d 579.) We allowed Davinroy's petition for leave
to appeal (134 Ill. 2d R. 315).
