Description

Plaintiff, who was employed by M. W. Anderson Construction Company, suffered severe injuries in the course of his employment, for which he received compensation pursuant to the Nebraska Workmen's Compensation Act. This action is against the workmen's compensation carrier of employer, The Home Insurance Company, seeking recovery for those same injuries. The employer was joined solely because of subrogation rights. Plaintiff predicates his action on the theory that defendant negligently performed its agreement with his employer to provide safety engineering inspections. The trial court sustained a demurrer to the petition. We affirm. Plaintiff's specific allegations of negligence are substantially that defendant: (1) Failed to use reasonable care in the inspection of the premises and equipment used in construction on the job site; (2) failed to require use of a safety hook on the hydrocrane; and (3) failed to provide periodic inspections of the equipment used on the job site.
