fellow servants
Literally, co-workers in the same employment. For the purposes of the fellow servant doctrine:–the injured person and the person who caused the injury engaged in the service of the same employer and acting at the time the injury was sustained within the scope of their employment. 35 Am J1st M & S § 377. With refinements:–servants of a common master, who are engaged in and about a common work under one common master workman or superintendent, and who in doing their work can observe and influence each other's conduct and suggest delinquencies to a correcting power. Relyea v Kansas City, Fort Scott & Gulf Railroad Co. 112 Mo 86, 93, 20 SW 480. All the members of the crew on the same vessel, with the exception, according to some authorities, of the master or other commanding officer, are fellow servants of each other, though their duties and functions differ; and the same is true of workmen engaged in building, repairing, loading or unloading a ship. 48 Am J1st Ship § 127.
