JOHNSON, Justice.

This is a tort case. An injured worker sued a company the worker alleges is liable pursuant to I.C. § 72-223, a portion of the workers' compensation law, for the injury as a third party who is not the worker's direct or statutory employer. We conclude that the company was not a third party as contemplated by the statute, but instead was a special employer of the worker, who was a loaned employee of the company.

I.
