A contractor negligently failed to install a required handrail on a temporary stairway. A worker carrying a sealed paint bucket tripped when the bucket's handle broke and paint spilled under his shoes. Video and expert testimony establish that the worker fell straight forward, never reached for the side of the stairway, and would have fallen in the same way even if the handrail had been installed.
Is the contractor liable in negligence for the worker's fall based on the missing handrail?

Choose the Best Answer

The contractor is liable because breach of duty always proves causation. The contractor is liable only for nominal damages because actual injury is irrelevant to negligence. The contractor is liable because a safety railing would have made the stairway look more complete. The contractor is not liable because the missing railing was not an actual cause of the fall if the worker would have fallen in the same way even with a proper railing.
