Highlight
An employer of an independent contractor generally is not liable for the acts or omissions of the independent contractor.
An employer may be liable for an independent contractor’s torts if the employer retains control over the independent contractor.
Duty is a question of whether the relationship between the actor and the injured person gives rise to any legal obligation on the actor’s part for the benefit of the injured person.
