Foster v. Richland Parish General Hospital

MARVIN, Judge.

In this tort action against the hospital that contracted with the employer of plaintiff Foster to replace a large compressor in the hospital’s air conditioning system, Foster, his wife, and his employer’s w.c. insurer appeal a judgment rejecting their respective demands for damages that arose out of a disabling back injury Foster sustained while completing the work.1

In this instance, the issue of fault under C.C. Arts. 2315 and 2317 is factual. We find no clear error in the trial court’s conclusion that the hospital did not cause Foster’s injury and affirm the judgment.
