RE: 3M Co. v. City of St. Paul
On October 29, 1986, a Public Works dump truck collided with a
car owned by 3M Company at the intersection of University and
John Ireland Boulevard. The primary cause of the accident was
the driving of an unidentified third party who exited the wrong
way onto John Ireland from University, disregarded a stop sign
and turned directly in front of the dump truck. The driver of
the dump truck swerved to avoid impact with the unknown third
party and struck the rear of the 3M car.
Under the legal theory of joint and severally liability, if the
City of Saint Paul was found to be 35% or less at fault, its
responsibility to 3M Company would be twice its determined negli-
gence. If the City' s fault was found to be greater than 35°s, it
would be held responsible for all the damage to the 3M Company
car.
The damage to the 3M Company car was $2 , 585 . 69 . We have agreed
to a settlement whereby the city would pay 60� or $1, 551.41 .
Our office approves this settlement.
