Olivia Green, the CEO of Green Industries, hired Boom-Boom, Inc., a demolition company, to level an old building on a busy downtown lot. Boom-Boom, Inc. was given full rein to decide on the number of explosives needed and the placement of the charges. Security for the site on the day of the explosion was contracted out to a private security firm. On the day of demolition, the building fell in a slightly different direction than that anticipated by Boom-Boom, Inc. Real and personal property, in a nearby building were severely damaged. Olivia claims that the use of an independent contractor such as Boom-Boom, Inc. has insulated her from liability. Is Olivia correct?
