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.
