The Court granted summary judgment in favor of defendant Tribeca Oven LLC, dismissing claims that a workplace injury involving a bakery machine rose to the level of “intentional wrong.” Plaintiff sustained injuries while operating an industrial bakery equipment and alleged that the employer’s conduct constituted intentional wrong to bypass the exclusivity of the NJ Workers’ Compensation Act.

We successfully argued the absence of evidence in the record that Plaintiff needed to show the employer’s conduct surmounted the high threshold of substantial certainty of injury to her.
