Description
In this diversity action defendant and third-party plaintiff Marathon Petroleum Company appeals the district courts dismissal of its third-party complaint against Insulating & Materials Corporation. Chief Judge Foreman determined that an indemnity agreement between Insulating & Materials and Marathon was not applicable in a suit claiming that Marathon negligently caused job-related injuries to plaintiff Danny Stifle, an Insulating & Materials employee, and also alleging Marathons violation of the Illinois Structural Work Act. The court later refused to allow Marathon to set off Stifles subsequent $170,000 judgment against Marathon by the value of the workers compensation lien which had been surrendered by Insulating & Materials as part of its settlement with Stifle. Marathon appeals both adverse decisions.
