Carrillo-Torres v. Bergen CA1/4
Plaintiff Francisco Carrillo-Torres (Torres) was injured while working for a subcontractor on a home remodel project, and brought this premises liability action against the property owner, defendant Lanelle D. Torkelsen a/k/a Lanelle D. Bergen (Bergen) alleging negligence and seeking damages. Bergen moved for summary judgment, contending she owed Torres no duty. The trial court granted the motion and Torres has appealed.
We conclude that summary judgment was properly granted because this action is barred by the exclusive remedy provisions of the Workers’ Compensation Act (Lab. Code, § 3600 et seq.), and Torres did not present prima facie evidence that Bergen affirmatively contributed to the cause of Torres’s injuries.
