The Kentucky Court of Appeals ruled that a utility company is immune from civil liability to the injured employee of a subcontractor it hired to erect scaffolding at its power plant.
Case: Louisville Gas and Electric Co. v. Galvan, No. 2019-CA-0961-MR, 10/16/2020, published.
Facts: The Louisville Gas and Electric Co. schedules occasional outages in order to maintain, inspect and repair the boilers at its power plant in Trimble County. Due to the size of the boilers, large scaffolding must be erected so employees and contractors can work throughout their interiors.
