Johann Wolmarans vs. Lifestyle Furnishings

Johann Roshe Wolmarans sues Lifestyle Furnishings, a/k/a Universal Furniture Limited, Inc., for an injury he received on its premises. The complaint as amended seeks damages under the theory of premises liability and also under the Worker's Compensation Statute. The Trial Court found that the Plaintiff was an independent contractor and dismissed his worker's compensation claim. Thereafter, a jury trial was held as to the premises liability claims and the jury found that the injury received by the Plaintiff was due entirely to his own fault. The Plaintiff appeals, raising a host of issues which we find are without merit and affirm the judgment of the Trial Court.
