The Perfume Decision Featured at “Hot Topics in Workers’ Compensation Law 2009”
Filed under: New Jersey Law, Workers Compensation, Workers' Comp
Kenneth A. DiMuzio, Sr., Senior Partner of the law firm of Hoffman DiMuzio participated in the annual “Hot Topics in Workers’ Compensation Law 2009” seminar, sponsored by the New Jersey Institute for Continuing Legal Education. Mr. DiMuzio presented an analysis of “The Evidential Burden Required to Successfully Establish Compensability in a Claim Involving Secondary Fragrance Exposure in the Workplace”. Mr. DiMuzio was invited to participate because Hoffman DiMuzio successfully represented the petitioner in the recent “perfume case” entitled Sexton v.
