Liability for Independent Contractors 100 pts Crum Brothers Corp., a steel drum manufacturer, owned and operated a manufacturing plant in Pittsburg, Penn.. Coel Stone, the plant superintendent, hired Pitt Security Patrol, Inc. (PSP), a security company, to guard CBC property and deter thieves and vandals. Some PSP security guards, as Stone knew, carried firearms. Craig Sharp, a PSP security guard, was not certified as an armed guard but nevertheless took his gun, in a briefcase, to work. While working at the CBC plant Craig fired his gun at Don Stew, a CBC employee, in the belief that Stew was an intruder. The bullet struck and killed Stew. Stew's mother filed a suit in court against CBC and others, alleging in part that her son's death was the result of PSP's negligence, for which CBC was responsible.
