Date: March 21, 2025 LA Superior Court
Shareholder Davil R. Vasquez and Special Counsel Federico A. Stea secured summary judgment for our client, a Fortune Global 500 logistics and transportation company.
The Plaintiff, an employee of a staffing agency contracted by our client to provide labor for its warehousing business, sought 7-figure damages for injuries he allegedly suffered while working at one of our client’s warehouses. Mr. Vasquez and Mr. Stea argued that our client was immune from civil liability under the Labor Code, as Plaintiff’s sole recourse was the workers’ compensation benefits he obtained pursuant to the claim he submitted with the staffing agency. The Court agreed with our attorneys, and dismissed Plaintiff’s claims.
