H.B. and P.B. v. Lake County District Court

The plaintiff, Charles R. Ventura, III, appeals from the district courts summary judgment dismissal of his tort action against his employer, Albertsons, Inc., and certain of his co-employees for assault and battery, intentional infliction of emotional harm, and false imprisonment arising out of a physical altercation at an Albertsons store. The district court determined that the action is barred by the exclusivity provisions of the Workers Compensation Act, § 8-40-101, et seq., C.R.S. (1992 Cum. Supp.). We agree and affirm the judgment of dismissal.
