Description
[5 N.Y.2d 120 Page 122] On February 15, 1955 defendant-respondent Watson, an employee of L. Davis Trucking Co. (not a party here), was injured while
working for Davis at the New York City warehouse of defendant-respondent Bigelow-Sanford Carpet Company, Inc. Greaves, who
is the plaintiff-respondent in this declaratory judgment suit, was, as an employee of Bigelow-Sanford, operating a fork lift
loading machine at Bigelow-Sanford's warehouse. Defendant-respondent Watson drove his employer Davis' truck to the Bigelow-Sanford
warehouse to take on a load of carpeting. Watson then backed the Davis truck into the warehouse. Plaintiff Greaves, loading
the carpeting onto the Watson-Davis truck with a fork lift machine, is alleged to have caused personal injuries to Watson.
Watson claimed and received workmen's compensation from the insurer of his employer Davis. Watson brought also a personal
injury action against Bigelow-Sanford Carpet Company, Inc., and against present plaintiff Greaves. In that negligence action
Bigelow-Sanford cross-complained against our present plaintiff Joseph Greaves. Greaves sent the summons and complaint to defendant-appellant
Public Service Mutual Insurance Co. but that company refused to defend Greaves in the tort case asserting that its automobile
liability policy hereafter described and issued to the injured Watson's employer Davis did not insure Greaves.
