Bruzga v. PMR Architects. PC

In Bruzga v. PMR Architects. PC, 141 N.H. 756, 693 A.2d 401 (1997), PC, the Court recognized that architects and contractor have a duty to design and construct safe structures. 141 N.H. at 759. While recognizing the existence of a duty in Bruzga, the Court was careful to circumscribe it. It held that while architects and contractors have a duty to design and construct safe structures, the duty is not limitless and that no liability existed to the estate of a person who had committed suicide 1 in a prison once the architect turned the structure over to the owner. Id. at 759.
