SUCCESSFUL DEFENSE IN NJ PREMISES
INJURY LAWSUIT
Scott Haworth
INTRODUCTION
 Based in New York, attorney Scott Haworth serves as the
managing partner of Haworth Coleman & Gerstman, LLC,
where, among other duties, he handles class actions,
construction accident defenses, and insurance coverage
matters. Scott Haworth’s work as an attorney includes the
2015 New Jersey Superior Court case Ramirez v. Solar
Management.
This case centered on an assault that occurred in the
parking lot of the company at which the plaintiff was a
worker placed by a temporary staffing agency. With the
distribution company sharing the parking lot with other
businesses, the premises property owner (a case co-
defendant) was tasked with security.
RAMIREZ V. SOLAR MANAGEMENT
 A lengthy discovery and motion practice led
to summary judgment centered on the fact
that the plaintiff was a distribution company’s
special employee. He was thus not able to
pursue such a case within the stipulations of
New Jersey’s workers’ compensation law. In
particular, a set of five conditions laid out in
Kelly v. Geriatric and Medical Services, Inc.,
were met.
