Court Bars Claims of Independent Contractor's Employee Against General Contractor
In Urena v. Capano Homes, Inc., (Del. Supr., July 17, 2007), read opinion here, the Delaware Supreme Court applied the general rule that an employee of an independent contractor cannot make a claim against the general contractor for injuries suffered on a job site. There are exceptions but they did not apply here. The court also rejected a claim by an employee of the independent contractor against the general contractor for allegedly negligent selection of the independent contractor by the general contractor.
