Court of Appeals of New York

In consolidated negligence action brought by employee of defendant Port Authority for injuries suffered in slip on fall on a patch of ice in parking lot subleased to Port Authority by other defendant, Workers' Compensation Law sections 11 and 29[6] do not bar plaintiffs' action against other defendant that claimed to be putative managing agent for the Port Authority, and this entitled defendant to the exclusive remedy defense. Plaintiffs' claim against defendant snow removal company fails as it owed no duty of care to the injured plaintiff.
