Construction Site Injury Liability of Property Owner

Construction Site Injury Liability of Property Owner: An individual, injured by a falling beam while working on a construction site, sued the property owner for damages, claiming the owner was liable under the general obligation to ensure safety, even though the work was being carried out by a contractor; the court dismissed the appeal, reasoning that the property owner's non-delegable duty to ensure the safety of those on their property did not automatically extend to liability for risks inherent to the specialized work performed by an independent contractor, affirming that fault must be established unless a specific legal presumption of liability applies, which was not the case here.
