Rudolph Laidlow and Jean Laidlow, Plaintiffs-Appellants v. Hariton MacHinery Company, Inc., Defendant, and Richard…

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey reversed the Appellate Division and remanded for trial, holding that the employer's removal of a safety guard and systematic deception of OSHA can satisfy the intentional‑wrong exception to the Workers' Compensation exclusivity bar, thus precluding summary judgment. The Court required further discovery of the supervisor to determine the employer's knowledge of the risk.
