Blodgett, while walking on a public sidewalk, was injured when a large piece of wood fell from a construction job at the offi ces of Olympic Savings and Loan Association. The construction work was being done by Drury Construction Company.

Blodgett sued both Olympic and Drury, claiming that Drury was an agent for Olympic. Olympic denied both responsibility for the injury and the existence of an agency relationship with Drury. Will Blodgett succeed in her suit against Olympic?
