    Contractor not liable for worker's injury - By JOE GERRETY, Journal and Courier, IN
    Rick Meils, the attorney representing Fairfield, argued successfully that England himself and Ed Muller Masonry bore most of the responsibility for England's injuries.

    'He had used this equipment before. He had experience putting it together,' Meils said of Robert England. 'All he has to do is go around the corner, get that railing and put it on, and we don't have an issue today.'

    In the fall, England struck his head on concrete. He suffered a skull fracture, a brain stem injury and brain swelling, along with other injuries.
