Court of Appeals of California, Fourth District, Division Two.

Review Granted October 18, 2000.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

OPINION

RICHLI, J.

The issue in this case is whether an injured employee of an independent contractor may sue the party who hired the contractor for providing unsafe equipment which allegedly contributed to the injury. We conclude such a claim is viable notwithstanding the general rule set forth in Privette v. Superior Court (1993) 5 Cal.4th 689, 21 Cal.Rptr.2d 72
