Terry Alloway, Plaintiff-Appellant, and Greg Alloway, Husband and Wife, Plaintiff v. Bradlees, Inc., Shoprite…

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey reversed the Appellate Division’s affirmation of summary judgment for Pat Pavers, holding that the evidence was sufficient to create a duty of reasonable care owed by a prime contractor to a subcontractor’s employee and that the breach of that duty was plausible, thereby requiring a trial. The Court also affirmed that OSHA regulations may be relevant evidence of negligence but do not create negligence per se.
