Description
Plaintiff-appellant Carolyn Morgan appeals from the district courts entry of judgment on the pleadings in favor of defendant-appellee Churchs Fried Chicken, Inc. in this diversity action alleging that plaintiff was shot by an intruder and rendered permanently disabled as the result of defendants failure to maintain adequate security for its employees. The principal issue presented is whether plaintiffs action is barred by the exclusive remedy provision of the Michigan Workers Disability Compensation Act ("the Act"), Mich. Comp. Laws Ann. § 418.131, which precludes an employees action against his employer where the employees injury resulted from the employers negligent rather than intentional misconduct. Because we agree with the district court that plaintiffs claim does not constitute an intentional tort, we affirm.
