N.J. Transit Corp. v. Sanchez

GEIGER, J.A.D.

*102In this appeal, we consider whether a workers' compensation carrier can obtain reimbursement of medical expenses and wage loss benefits it paid from tortfeasors who negligently caused *103injuries to an employee in a work-related motor vehicle accident, if the employee would be barred from recovering noneconomic damages from the tortfeasors because he did not suffer a permanent injury. Because we hold the workers' compensation carrier can obtain reimbursement from the tortfeasors in this subrogation action, we reverse.
