California Court of Appeal

Affirming the grant of summary judgment to defendants under the Privette doctrine, which prevents an independent contractor's employee from recovering tort damages for work-related injuries from the contractor's hirer because the defendants met their burden for summary judgment and there were no triable issues of material fact as to the application of the Privette doctrine because no evidence was presented that the defendant was involved in the contracted work.
