Corporation Law, Negligence, Workers' Compensation

DEFENDANT DID NOT DEMONSTRATE IT WAS THE ALTER EGO OF PLAINTIFF’S EMPLOYER, DEFENDANT’S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT DISMISSING THE NEGLIGENCE COMPLAINT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN GRANTED.

The Second Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined defendant did not demonstrate it was the alter ego of plaintiff’s employer (which would trigger the Worker’s Compensation Law as plaintiff’s sole remedy). Defendant’s summary judgment motion on that ground should have been denied. Plaintiff was injured by a defective floor condition where he worked. He sued the owner of the building and the holder of the lease, Clean Rite Cleaners – Flatbush Avenue, LLC:

At the time of the accident, the plaintiff was employed by nonparty CRC-Management Co., LLC (hereinafter CRC-Management), and, after the accident, he sought Workers’ Compensation benefits from CRC-Management. CRC-Flatbush moved, in effect, for summary judgment dismissing the complaint insofar as asserted against it on the ground that the plaintiff’s causes of action were barred by the exclusive remedy provisions of the Workers’ Compensation Law. Among other things, CRC-Flatbush argued that it was “part of a single integrated entity” along with CRC-Management since they were both subsidiaries of nonparty Clean Rite Centers, LLC. …

… “[A] mere showing that the entities are related is insufficient where a defendant cannot demonstrate that one of the entities controls the day-to-day operations of the other” … . Here, CRC-Flatbush failed to make a prima facie showing either that it and the plaintiff’s employer, CRC-Management, operated as a single integrated entity, or that either company controlled the day-to-day operations of the other … . Moses v B & E Lorge Family Trust, 2017 NY Slip Op 01350, 2nd Dept 2-22-17
