Mann v. Pensacola Concrete Const. Co., Inc.

527 So.2d 279, 13 Fla. L. Week. 1428, (Fla.App. 1 Dist., Jun 16, 1988)

Owner of crane loaned the machine to employer. While machine was being operated, employee of employer injured. The question in this case is whether the owner of the crane can claim the exclusive remedy provisions of the workers' compensation statute as a defense to a cause of action filed by the injured employee. Court determined that where no lease exists between the owner of the crane and the employer, the owner of the crane did not acquire the employer's immunity from suit pursuant to the exclusive remedy provisions. Crane owner in this circumstance could be vicariously liable, as the owner of a dangerous instrumentality, for the injuries suffered by the injured employee.
