Heading: Chapman's injuries were sustained while performing work the contractor agreed to perform for Coho.

Text: ¶ 20. Coho next argues that it owed no duty to Chapman because the evidence proves that it did not exercise any control over that portion of the work during which Chapman sustained his injuries. This issue is almost the same as the above issue. In the above issue, Coho argues that it did not maintain control over the entire job while this issue is dealing with the particular job Chapman was performing. As discussed above, the contract and the contradictory testimony at trial sufficiently created a jury question as to whether Coho retained substantial control over the workover site or the job that Chapman was performing for Sauls. We find that the trial court did not err in denying Coho's motion for directed verdict and JNOV.
