A contractor, hired to demolish a building, caused damage to an adjacent property during the demolition due to the failure to take necessary precautions, specifically by failing to shore up the remaining structures adequately. The owner of the damaged property sued the contractor for compensation. The court upheld the lower court's finding that the contractor, obligated to ensure the stability of the building under construction/demolition and avoid causing damage to neighbors, was liable for the resulting damage because the collapse was attributable to their failure to implement necessary safety measures during the work, even if the initial demolition plan was approved.
