Description
After Lonnie Donaghey was injured while working aboard the Dì OCEAN TITAN, Donaghey and his wife brought suit against Old Odeco, Inc., the owner of the OCEAN TITAN, Odeco Drilling Services, Inc., Donagheys employer (collectively ODECO), and Conoco, Inc. (Conoco), the party for whom ODECO was working at the time of the accident, asserting that ODECOs and Conocos negligence caused Donagheys injuries. Subsequently, ODECO and Conoco, alleging that Varcos negligence caused Donagheys injuries, filed third party complaints against Varco International, Inc., Varco BJ Oil Tools, and Varco BJ Drilling Systems, the manufacturer and seller of the Varco top drive system (collectively Varco). The Donagheys then amended their complaint to name Varco as a defendant. Varco moved for summary judgment, contending that its actions were not a legal cause of Donagheys accident and that the gross negligence of ODECO was the cause of the accident. The district court granted Varcos motion for summary judgment. ODECO and Conoco appeal. Finding that the district court improperly granted summary judgment, we reverse and remand.
