Description
Caterpillar Tractor Company (Caterpillar) appeals the trial court's dismissal of its third-party complaint against Bangert Brothers Road Builders, Inc. (Bangert). Caterpillar argues that the trial court erroneously decided that the substantive law of Missouri applied to the third-party complaint. We disagree and affirm. The relevant facts are undisputed. On November 25, 1980, while Scott Vickrey was working at Lambert International Airport in St. Louis County, Missouri, he sustained fatal injuries. Vickrey was standing in the bucket of a front-end wheel loader which had been manufactured by Caterpillar and sold to Bangert. The sale had taken place in Missouri. The bucket rose suddenly, crushing Vickrey against a steel beam which he had been sandblasting. Vickrey's widow recovered workers' compensation benefits pursuant to the Missouri statutes from Bangert.
