Verizon California v. Charter Communications
An installer of equipment for Charter Communications, Inc. (“Charterâ€) was injured when the pole he was working on broke and he fell to the ground. The injured party sued Verizon California, Inc. (“Verizonâ€) because, although Charter was leasing the pole, it was owned by Verizon. Verizon settled the lawsuit and sought indemnification from Charter.
The trial court ruled Verizon was entitled to indemnification because Verizon was at most passively negligent. Charter has appealed the judgment. We affirm.
