The Marion Power Shovel Company v. Hargis

22 FLW D1763

On the job accident resulting in injury to plaintiff/employee occurred in the State of Florida but allegedly was caused by a foreign corporation. Under Florida law, workers' compensation immunity would preclude cause of action filed by employee of subcontractor against general contractor. Plaintiff was an employee of Illinois which did not have workers' compensation immunity in contractor/subcontractor relationships. Court determined that Florida law applied and summary judgment in favor of general contractor because of the workers' compensation immunity provision granted. In this case, this accident occurred in Florida, the State of Florida had the most significant contacts with the issues involved and therefore Florida law applied.
