Where an employee sustained injuries in an automobile accident that occurred in the employer’s parking lot when the vehicle he was driving was struck by another being driven by a co-employee, the co-employee was immune from tort liability under the fellow servant doctrine as set forth in Ohio Rev. Code Ann. § 4123.741. The court noted that two issues needed to be determined. First, was the plaintiff’s injury caused by another employee? Second, did the injury occur in the course of and arising out of the plaintiff's employment? Since the evidence supported an affirmative finding on both issues, the plaintiff’s civil action was barred.
