LAW 3220 Chapter Notes - Chapter 15: Intentional Tort, Wrongful Dismissal
Document Summary
Chapter 15: i think that this decision would be upheld on appeal. I also think that working with toxic chemicals, the workers would have to know to take safety precautions and such in order to not incur injuries. Evidence boeing knew and had done nothing is slightly irrelevant because the workers also knew there were toxic chemicals. I think that they could sue for worker s compensation for their injuries but not intentional tort: workers compensation only applies to when the employee is working within the scope of their job and suffers injuries. So in this case, a suicide would not qualify as a work related injury and the wife would not be able to collect benefits: yes, it was proper for the city to monitor his location. It is important for them to make sure that he is not abusing his days when he is on the sick abuse list.
