Workers Beware: Forced Arbitration Can Happen To You
After Ruth Kay was seriously injured on the job at a Texas Albertson’s, she and her husband sued for negligence and loss of consortium. The company sought to deny Mrs. Kay her day in court based on an arbitration clause in their Workplace Injury Benefit Plan, and to bind Mr. Kay to the policy as well. After fighting in court, Mr. Kay successfully preserved his 7th Amendment rights. Unfortunately, Ms. Kay’s claims of negligence were redirected out of public view. Albertson’s Holdings, LLC v. Kay
