association theory

association theory
A doctrine of the law of master and servant that the master will not be excused for negligence resulting in injury to one servant which is inflicted by a fellow-servant, unless the servants are so engaged and situated as that each by carefulness and attention in the performance of his duties may protect himself from injury caused by the negligence of the person with whom he is working. Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad Co. v Brown, 152 Ky 479, 484, 153 SW 753. Such doctrine, while salutary in its day, has become of little more than historical interest since the enactment of employers' liability acts which nullify the fellow-servant rule.
