Description
Plaintiff, an employee of defendant, sustained personal injuries when she undertook to enter the storeroom of defendants packing plant to obtain therefrom a meatcutters knife for use in the course of her employment. After receiving workmens compensation in the sum of $610 for the injuries so sustained by her, she brought this action at common law for damages for her said injuries. Her petition alleged that defendant maintained a store at which persons were invited to purchase the supplies therein kept; that a small door, hinged into and forming a part of a large sliding door, provided ingress and egress of persons invited into said storeroom as customers; that as she, a business invitee of defendant, was entering said store through the small door, defendant negligently caused or permitted the large sliding door to fall upon and injure her. Defendants answer denied that the general public was invited into said storeroom and denied the negligence alleged in the petition and pleaded plaintiffs contributory negligence. The answer also affirmatively pleaded that the supplies kept in said storeroom were sold to defendants employees only for their convenience and that plaintiff, when injured, was an employee of defendant and as such was covered by the provisions of the Workmens Compensation Act of Missouri. Plaintiffs reply was a denial of the new matter alleged in defendants answer.
