Morales v. Chemical

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Fourth Department
Dec 22, 1995
222 A.D.2d 1040 (N.Y. App. Div. 1995)

Opinion

December 22, 1995

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Ontario County, Harvey, J.

Present — Green, J.P., Lawton, Fallon, Doerr and Balio, JJ.


Order unanimously affirmed without costs. Memorandum: Supreme Court properly dismissed the complaint as barred by the exclusivity provisions of the Workers' Compensation Law. Plaintiff alleged a breach of an implied contract against her employer based upon her employer's alleged failure to file a contemporaneous report of her on-the-job injury. Because the filing of an injury report is conduct regulated by the Workers' Compensation Law (see, Workers' Compensation Law § 110), it "is subject to the protection of that law's exclusivity" (Burlew v American Mut. Ins. Co., 63 N.Y.2d 412, 416).
