Description
WILLIAM C. KOCH, JR., JUDGE This appeal involves a realtor's liability for injuries sustained by a visitor at a partially completed house. After stumbling
into an open hole in the floor, the visitor filed suit in the Circuit Court for Maury County against the property owner, the
realtor, and a subcontractor. The trial court, sitting without a jury, dismissed the claims against the owner and the realtor
at the close of the visitor's proof and then awarded her a $7,500 judgment against the subcontractor. The visitor has appealed
the dismissal of her suit against the realtor. We have determined that the trial court should not have dismissed the visitor's
claims against the realtor on the ground that the realtor did not have sufficient control over the premises to be liable for
injuries to persons visiting the partially completed house.
