In a premises liability case, the California Court of Appeal recently reviewed whether a\u00a0contractor that\u00a0performed tile work for a property management company could be held liable for injuries suffered by an individual who slipped on the wet tiles. \u00a0After slipping and falling<\/a>, the plaintiff in this case\u00a0brought a lawsuit against the property manager, which\u00a0then filed a cross-complaint against the contractor. \u00a0The trial court denied the contractor\u2019s motion for summary judgment, but after review, the appellate court vacated the order and directed the lower court to issue a new order granting the motion for summary judgment based on the \u201caccepted work\u201d doctrine<\/a>.\"tiles\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Connie Rogers was the plaintiff in a slip and fall case involving PMB, a Limited Liability Company and property manager, and Topline Supply, Inc. \u00a0Topline had contracted with PMB to provide renovation services, including installing tiles on a handicapped access ramp. Topline was not named as a defendant, but PMB filed a cross-complaint for indemnity and added Topline. Then, Topline made a summary judgment motion based on the \u201caccepted work<\/a>\u201d doctrine.<\/p>\n

The trial court denied the summary judgment motion on the ground that the \u201caccepted work\u201d doctrine did not absolve a contractor from liability if they had been hired by a third party.<\/p>\n

The court stated that the \u201caccepted work\u201d doctrine holds that once an owner that\u00a0contracted for the construction of an improvement has accepted the work, the owner is solely liable to third parties who\u00a0are injured by\u00a0a defect or condition in\u00a0the improvement. \u00a0This rule is based on the notion that by accepting the work, the owner implicitly approves of its safety and is then responsible to third parties.<\/p>\n

In this case, the defect was allegedly that the tiles were too slippery once they got wet. \u00a0PMB was aware that the tiles were slippery when wet, and it attempted to improve the situation. \u00a0The appellate court stated that the evidence showed Topline had been fully paid for the work, and final payment was to be made only after the work was inspected and found \u201cacceptable.\u201d That the tiles were slippery when wet was obvious to PMB before the plaintiff allegedly fell. The court held that Topline was therefore not liable for injuries suffered by third parties.<\/p>\n

In short, the appellate court stated that the trial court erred in believing that the \u201caccepted work\u201d doctrine only applies to prevent actions by the injured party. \u00a0In fact, this doctrine bars actions for indemnity by a joint tortfeasor. \u00a0The appellate court stated that there cannot be a duty to indemnify<\/a> if there is no liability to the injured party.<\/p>\n

Next, the court stated the particularities of this case required asking whether PMB could represent in good faith that there was a triable issue of material fact. \u00a0The court stated that PMB did not do so. Instead, PMB argued the tile at issue was chosen by Topline. \u00a0There is no liability for a defective product, and furthermore, the court stated the tile was not shown to be defective. \u00a0PMB knew the tile was slippery when wet.<\/p>\n

The acceptance rule, the court stated, places responsibility on owners that\u00a0accept work that poses a risk to the public. \u00a0An owner, once it\u00a0has accepted the work, has the sole power to correct known problems.<\/p>\n

The court stated that the lower court should vacate the order denying Topline\u2019s motion for summary judgment and enter a new order granting the motion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
