Description
The plaintiff, Deborah M. Finlay (Finlay), brought this negligence action against the defendant, Storage Technology Corporation (Storage Technology), seeking damages for injuries sustained while providing janitorial services to Storage Technology during the course of her employment with Allied Maintenance Corporation (Allied). After a non-jury trial, the trial court entered judgment for defendant Storage Technology, concluding that Storage Technology was a "statutory employer" of Finlay under the Workmen's Compensation Act of Colorado and therefore was immune from common-law negligence liability. The Colorado Court of Appeals affirmed in Finlay v. Storage Technology Corp., 733 P.2d 322 (Colo. App. 1986). We agree that Storage Technology was Finlay's statutory employer and that the Workmen's Compensation Act of Colorado, Articles 40 to 54 of Title 8, 3B C.R.S (1986) (workers' compensation act), provides the exclusive remedy for her injuries. Therefore, we affirm the judgment for the defendant.
