Description
The two appellants are administratrices of the respective estates of their husbands, who were killed in an automobile accident involving two alleged employees of the appellee, Nekoosa Papers, Inc. The appellants brought a suit against each of these individuals without including appellee. That action, based upon the asserted negligence of the two defendants, resulted in compromise settlements which were approved in the probate court. The probate court orders expressly provided that the settlements were full and complete between these parties. However, the orders provided that the settlements had no Page 79-C effect on any other persons, partnerships or corporations that could have any liability for the wrongful deaths of the administratrices husbands. The action was then dismissed with prejudice in circuit court pursuant to that stipulation. About two years later these same appellants filed the present action against the appellee, alleging that the two individuals named in the previous action were the agents, servants and employees of Nekoosa and, therefore, their negligence was imputed to it as their employer. The court sustained appellees motion for a summary judgment which asserted that the settlement and dismissal with prejudice of the previous action against appellees alleged employees was res judicata which barred the appellants present action against it.
