Hodge v. Aramark Healthcare Support Serv., PICS Case No. 16-1528 (C.P. Philadelphia Oct. 25, 2016) Anders, J. (12 pages)..
Plaintiff in a slip and fall liability case sought relief from the management agency which supervised the janitorial care of hospital floors under allegations of negligence in training and that the janitor in question was a “borrowed servant” of the agency. The trial court found in favor of the agency’s motion for summary judgment and plaintiff appealed. The court reviewed its reasoning and explained a misunderstanding on plaintiff’s part of certain statements made at trial concerning expert testimony, recommending affirmation of its decision.
