Heidi Haskell was the only sales assistant on duty at a model home owned by David Estes but leased to Comstock Homebuilding Companies Inc. It was Comstock's policy for a single sales assistant to remain on the premises of the model home except to show a property to a potential customer. Ms. Haskell went onto the attached deck of the home to smoke a cigarette. Hearing the telephone ring in the house, she attempted to put out her cigarette, went inside, and answered the phone.
