Roy Steinberg v. Sahara Sam’s Oasis, LLC (A-41-14; 075294)
The summary-judgment record, viewed in the light most favorable to plaintiff, would allow a reasonable finder of fact to conclude that plaintiff’s injuries were caused by Sahara Sam’s gross negligence. Further, while a violation of the Safety Act, standing alone, does not give rise to a private cause of action, particular violations of the Safety Act, individually or in their aggregate, may be considered as evidence in determining whether Sahara Sam’s acted with gross negligence.
