Pinnacle Construction, Inc. v. Alderman

639 So.2d 1061 (Fla. 3rd DCA 1994), 19 FLW D1495

Plaintiff, an employee of a subcontractor, fell from scaffolding suffering severe injuries. Cause of action brought against general contractor and its principles alleging intentional misconduct in failing to inspect scaffolding from which claimant fell. Court determined that failing to detect OSHA violations in the scaffolding used by subcontractor constituted only negligence and does not rise to the level necessary to overcome workers' compensation immunity.
