In the case of a railroad worker accident brought to court in
the 1900s, one of the defenses the railroad company used against
the plaintiff was the “fellow-servant” doctrine. What does this
refer to?
The claims for such incidents are usually settled out-of-court,
as between fellows.
The company is not a separate entity above the employee, but a
colleague and a caretaker.
The injured employee had assumed responsibility of the risks
involved.
The accident is attributed to the negligence of the
co-worker.
