Under the Privette Doctrine, a hirer generally delegates to an independent contractor all responsibility for workplace safety and will not be liable for injuries that the contractor or its workers suffer while on the job.
The case of Miller v. Roseville Lodge No. 1293 et al. involved a workplace injury. The plaintiff worked part-time installing, upgrading, repairing, maintaining, and cleaning automated teller machines for the owner of Tri-Valley Amusement, Inc.
