Ind. Decisions - Upcoming oral arguments this week and next [Updated]

Hood's Gardens, Inc. After Young was injured while removing a tree stump from its property, Hood's Gardens sued, seeking a declaration that it cannot be held liable to pay Young worker's compensation benefits under IC 22-3-2-14 , which imposes secondary liability in some situations where there is a contract for the performance of work exceeding $1,000 in value. The Hamilton Superior Court granted summary judgment to Hood's Gardens after concluding that the evidence shows as a matter of law that the statutory minimum amount of value was not triggered and so Hood's Gardens may not be held liable.
