Description

Plaintiff, Anthony E. Lewis (Lewis), sued to recover damages for injuries he sustained during the construction of an addition to Mohave High School in Bullhead City, Arizona. Lewis claimed that his injuries were caused by the negligence of N.J. Riebe Enterprises, Inc. (Riebe), the general contractor for the project. Following trial, the jury returned a verdict in favor of Lewis. On appeal, the court of appeals reversed, holding that, as a matter of law, Riebe owed no duty of care to Lewis. We granted review to examine numerous negligence principles as they relate to a general contractor's duty to subcontractors' employees. Rule 23, Arizona Rules of Civil Appellate Procedure. We have jurisdiction pursuant to Ariz.Const. art. 6, § 5(3) and A.R.S. § 12-120.24. For the reasons stated below, the opinion of the court of appeals is vacated, 170 Ariz. 207, 823 P.2d 74, and the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
