Description
Rehearing denied March 27, 1973. Plaintiff Lawrence Juliano was injured while employed by Schullo Plumbing Company in the construction of buildings owned by defendants Joseph and Emil Oravec, doing business as Major Construction Company. He brought this action based upon the Structural Work Act (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1959, ch. 48, pars. 60, 61 and 62) against the owners and Leonard Taylor, a carpentry subcontractor, against whom defendants Oravec filed a third-party complaint. A jury returned a $75,000 verdict against defendants Oravec — Taylor having been dismissed from plaintiff's action — and in favor of the Oravecs and against Taylor in the same amount in the third-party action. The Appellate Court for the First Judicial District reversed (3 Ill. App.3d 835) on the ground that plaintiff had failed to prove that a willful violation of the Act was the proximate cause of his injuries. We granted leave to appeal.
