Third-Party Liability And Adjustments Between Different Employers And Insurance Carriers In Tennessee, William J. Harbison

Vanderbilt Law Review

In this article the author discusses the Tennessee law as to the relative positions of employers and third party tort feasors in workmen's compensation situations. After discussing the employer's right to subrogation to his employee's right of action, the employer's right to a lien on any recovery in such an action, and the right of the third party to indemnity from the employer, he concludes by treating the problem of joint and successive employers, taking special note of the heretofore untapped resources of the Tennessee Second Injury Fund.

Insurance -- 1962 Tennessee Survey, Robert N. Covington

Vanderbilt Law Review

The courts of Tennessee were confronted by a number of interesting problems of insurance law during 1962. For the most part, the results were neither startling nor unsettling. There were, however, decisions that seem to qualify previous opinions, sometimes without citation, and there was one very troublesome opinion concerning credit life insurance.
