What Happened: A 70-year-old supermarket employee who just finished her shift stepped into a pothole while walking to her car. The workers comp board rejected her claim for benefits. Citing provisions in the supermarket’s lease making the landlord responsible for maintaining the shopping center parking lot and other common areas, the board concluded that the employer/supermarket didn’t control the parking lot where the injuries occurred. The employee appealed.
Ruling: The New Jersey state court reversed the board’s ruling.
