Description
The defendants Mayer Gibor and Arthur Smith engaged the defendant Frank Mercede and Sons, Inc., a general contractor, hereinafter called Mercede, to construct a building on land owned by Gibor and Smith. The plans were drawn by an architect employed by Gibor and Smith to meet the requirements of First National Stores, which was to occupy the building as lessee. The plans called for, and Mercede constructed, an opening in the main floor, near the front door, to accommodate a conveyor to carry stock between the main floor and the basement. Before the conveyor was installed, and before the building was formally accepted by Gibor and Smith, employees of First National Stores were at work in the building in preparation for its occupancy. On July 27, 1959, Frank Trainor was hired by a foreman of First National Stores to work in the building. Trainor reported for work and was assigned the task of moving cartons and containers on the main floor. One of the cartons was lying over the opening, which was otherwise uncovered and the presence of which was unknown to him. In attempting to lift this carton, he stepped forward into the hole, fell to the basement and was injured.
