District Court of Appeal of Florida

Dismissal of an elevator servicer's third-party complaint for indemnity against the owner of a parking garage, arising from an employee's injuries from an alleged elevator malfunction, is reversed in part where the trial court erred in finding the owner was not a party to the contract, and an agreement providing for the routine maintenance of elevators over a time frame of sixteen years is not a construction contract under Florida Statutes section 725.06.
