Maria Sturgess v. Oa Logistics Services, Inc. et al..

Automated case summary

What the court decided

The legal issue was whether a third-party felonious assault by an employee's coworker could be considered an accident arising out of employment under Georgia Workers’ Compensation Act exclusive remedy provisions. The Georgia Court of Appeals reversed the summary judgment because the positional risk doctrine did not establish a causal connection between the random attack and Zephyrine's employment at the warehouse.
