Dionicio Rodriguez v. Shelbourne Spring, LLC

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed the Appellate Division, holding that Hartford Underwriters Insurance Company has no duty to defend SIR Electric LLC for any of the employee’s negligence‑based or intentional‑wrong claims, and that SIR’s motion to amend its third‑party complaint was futile. The Court based its decision on the express exclusions in both Part One and Part Two of the policy and on the workers’ compensation exclusivity bar, rejecting SIR’s public‑policy argument.
