Anderson v. Denham Contracting
Plaintiff D. Craig Anderson was injured when he fell through an unprotected opening on a construction site at which he was working as a foreman for the general contractor. His workers compensation claim and personal injury claims against other subcontractors have been resolved, but he now appeals from a summary judgment dismissing his negligence complaint against an additional subcontractor on the job, defendant Denham Contracting, Inc. (Denham). Summary judgment was granted on the ground that Denham did not create the dangerous condition that caused plaintiffs injuries and owed plaintiff no duty of care to have prevented the injury. Court agree with the trial court that no duty was imposed on Denham by common law, by statute, or by the terms of Denhams subcontract and, therefore, shall affirm the judgment.
