New York Court of Appeals

Joseph Naso v. Salvatore Lafata, Jr.

June 25, 19584 N.Y.2d 585

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals held that subdivision 6 of section 29 of the Workmen’s Compensation Law provides an exclusive remedy for an employee injured by a co‑employee, thereby barring the plaintiff’s §59 claim against the vehicle owner. Accordingly, the appellate court’s judgment was reversed and the complaint dismissed.
