Asbestos Certified Technicians, Inc. v. Coca-Cola Co.

Florida District Courts of Appeal
Asbestos Certified Technicians, Inc. v. Coca-Cola Co., 712 So. 2d 461 (1998)
1998 Fla. App. LEXIS 7493; 1998 WL 329378
Altenbernd, Campbell, Fulmer

Asbestos Certified Technicians, Inc. v. Coca-Cola Co.

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

We affirm the trial court’s dismissal of the complaint filed by Asbestos Certified Technicians, Inc. against The Coca-Cola Company because, in Florida, a negligence claim may not be maintained by an independent contractor to recover purely economic losses it suffers when its employees are injured on the premises of a third party with whom the independent contractor has contracted to perform work. Cf. Sandarac Ass’n, Inc. v. W.R. Frizzell Architects, Inc., 609 So.2d 1349 (Fla. 2d DCA 1992).

CAMPBELL, A.C.J., and ALTENBERND and FULMER, JJ., concur.
