Description

Per Curiam. This is a personal injury action brought on the basis of diversity of citizenship pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1332 by an injured worker and his spouse against the company which contracted for the work and its parent company. A jury awarded monetary damages to the plaintiffs. The defendants appeal contending that plaintiffs' personal injury action was barred by the exclusive remedy provisions of the state of Kentucky's workers' compensation laws. KRS §§ 342.610, 342.690. Defendants also allege that the trial court erred in excluding evidence of payments made to the injured worker by a collateral source and the identity of that collateral source. Finally, defendants maintain that the trial court held them to a higher standard of care than required by the governing law. For the reasons set forth below, we affirm the judgment of the district court.
