Regarding this use of a plasma cutter in proximity to concealed combustibles, the court credited the testimony of an expert witness for the plaintiff, who opined that “[Interstate’s] decision to satisfy [Julie Chen’s] request to trim the ductwork as instructed, and by using a plasma cutter to do so, without taking any precautions to prevent a fire from occurring, showed a total disregard for all industry standards and laws related to this type of operation.” On the basis of the evidence before it, the court determined that Interstate’s actions amounted to gross negligence.
