Where an employee working for a subsidiary of AT&T, Inc. tripped and fell over the snow-covered legs of a construction sign placed in a walkway adjacent to an ongoing construction project at the AT&T building in downtown Indianapolis, she could not maintain a tort action against another subsidiary of AT&T that was in charge of construction nor AT&T itself. Her direct employer and the company in charge of construction were insulated from tort liability by the exclusive remedy provisions of the Indiana Act. Moreover, AT&T, Inc. was also insulated, since it had significant ownership interest in both subsidiaries.
