NJ Supreme Court Orders - Marijuana in Comp Case
Show Notes

Hager v. M&K Construction - NJ Supreme Court makes a big splash ordering a workers compensation carrier to pay for the injured workers medical marijuana. The Court explained although marijauna remains illegal per federal law, Congress has expressly deprived federal law enforcement of funds to interfere with state medical marijuana regimes for (7) consecutive years. Competent medical testimony reveals marijuana as the best pain management (20) years after a concrete truck explosion that flattened him like a pancake. A pebble in the pond of marijuana law with plenty of ripples!


State v. Ramirez and Orozco - accomplice liability jury charge clarified after horrible death of a two year old child at the hands of one or both of the baby’s parents - remand for re-trial on manslaughter.


Huggins v. Aquilar - car dealer loaner car “garage policy” may not have an escape clause excluding coverage. Dealer policies must have $100,000/$250,000 policies - the NJ Supreme Court reformed the garage policy accordingly.
