Summary
The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the dismissal of the negligence claim against the State, holding that workers' compensation is the exclusive remedy, but reversed the dismissal of the intentional tort claim, remanding for further proceedings consistent with the opinion. Justice Jasen dissented, arguing that sovereign immunity bars any relief and that workers' compensation is the sole remedy.
