How courts have described this case

• vicariously liable property owner/general contractor entitled to indemnity for damages from wrongful death caused solely by negligent subcontractor's breach of non-delegable duty
• failure of a party to request omitted instruction precludes that party from raising that point as error on appeal
• “a showing [of reasonableness] is only required when a settlement has been entered into without notice or the indemnitor has not had an opportunity to defend.”
• “ ‘Nondelegable’ applies to the liabilities arising from the delegated duties if breached.”
• the term \nondelegable\ encompasses delegation of performance, not liability
• “Nelacar, who was the owner and general contractor and actively supervised the daily construction operations, had a duty to keep its premises safe for all the workmen on the job and will be ultimately held liable for injuries occurring on its worksite.”
