Dan Kirk, Dave Flynn and Matt Byrne obtained summary judgment in favor of a municipality, the general contractor, and the hiring contractor in a suit alleging failure to maintain a safe workplace.
The plaintiff, a union pipefitter, claimed that he was injured while installing overhead pipe in a government building. Plaintiff alleged that the defendants owed the plaintiff a duty to keep a safe workplace and violated that duty. Judge Marcia Maras granted summary judgment in favor of all defendants on all counts finding that the defendants did not owe the plaintiff a duty under common law or the Restatement of Torts 343 or 414 and that they did not violate any duty to the plaintiff.
