Ruiz v. AEROREP Group Corp. d/b/a Aeropostal

31 FLW D2787

When an employee’s injury arises out of the course and scope of his or her employment, workers’ compensation is the exclusive remedy for the injury and the employer is provided with immunity from any liability for the injury. While there are exceptions to workers’ compensation immunity, there were no allegations in the plaintiff’s second amended complaint filed in this case supporting the applicability of any of the exceptions. Although workers’ compensation immunity usually cannot be raised in a Motion to Dismiss, an exception exists allowing the defense to be raised in a Motion to Dismiss where the defense appears on the face of the complaint.
