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
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).
