Dib Obtains Summary Judgment
On October 18, 2023 Partner Brian Dib obtained summary judgment in the U.S.D.C. for the District of New Jersey for a casino client in a premises liability case. The plaintiff, a casino employee, tripped and fell on a sidewalk adjacent to her employer’s property while on her way to work. She filed a claim after the incident and received workers’ compensation benefits. The Court granted summary judgment, concluding that the third-party lawsuit was barred due to the exclusive remedy provision of the New Jersey Workers’ Compensation Act.
