Case: Individual Employment Rights/Due Process (D. Md.)

A federal district court granted a motion to dismiss negligence and negligent hiring, training, and supervision claims brought under the Maryland Workers’ Compensation Act by a warehouse supervisor at Pepsi Bottling Ventures who was injured by a forklift, finding that the company’s supervisory employees—the plant manager and warehouse manager—were immune from liability because they were performing the company’s nondelegable duty to maintain a safe workplace when the alleged negligent acts occurred.
