Understand how employers are liable for injuries to workers and who pays when things go wrong.
The Law of the Master's Liability for Injuries to Servant examines the rules that govern when a master must answer for harm to a servant. It surveys the fellow‑servant doctrine, the duty to provide safe tools and premises, and how different states shape responsibility.
The book explains the core ideas behind liability, including when a master must act to prevent injuries and when injuries fall to the risks a servant accepts. It covers how courts view those who supply or maintain equipment, and who counts as a fellow servant versus a vice principal. Historical and state-by-state perspectives illustrate how the law has evolved across Kansas, Illinois, West Virginia, Arkansas, Missouri, and more.
- Clear explanations of the fellow‑servants rule and its limits in various jurisdictions
- Discussion of when the master’s duty to provide safe appliances applies
- Guidance on how courts treat managers, foremen, and other supervisors in relation to liability
- Examples and summaries of cases that shape the doctrine and its exceptions
Ideal for readers of legal history, practitioners, and students seeking a practical view of master liability and its enduring questions.
