Case Study
Dakin v. Outback Steakhouse of Florida, LLC et al, Plymouth Superior Court
RESULT: Defense Verdict
Outback Steakhouse hired our firm on the eve of trial of a catastrophic personal injury claim brought by a dishwasher alleging permanent disability following a fall at work. We alleged that the defendants could not be sued by the dishwasher because they were engaged in a joint enterprise and were therefore a single employer, immune from suit under the Massachusetts workers' compensation preclusion. After a one-day jury trial on the workers' compensation defense, the jury agreed that the claim was barred and judgement entered for both defendants.
The Appeals Court subsequently affirmed the verdict. See the attached article in Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly covering the Appeals Court decision.
