Carl is a contractor that is building a home for Orel. Pam is one of Orel's neighbors. One day Pam was walking in the neighborhood. As she passed the construction site, a piece of lumber fell from the partially finished garage roof and hit her in the
head, injuring her severely. The lumber was left negligently on the roof by Carl. Pam now wishes to sue Orel. Should Orel be held liable to Pam? Discuss.
Carl would likely be considered an independent contractor as opposed to an employee. The situation here is not one, such as conduct involving ultrahazardous activities, for which a principal would be held liable for the actions of an independent contractor.
