CALIFORNIA COURT OF APPEAL
Is an injured school district volunteer limited to workers’ compensation damages?
Torts
Kuo v. Dublin Unified School Dist. (2025) _ Cal.App.5th _, 2025 WL 783206: The Court of Appeal affirmed the trial court’s order granting defendant’s motion for summary judgment in plaintiffs’ action alleging the wrongful death of decedent Catherine Kuo after she was crushed between two vehicles while volunteering for a middle school program called the “Farmers to Families Food Box Program.” The trial court properly granted the motion for summary judgment. The Court of Appeal concluded that fatal injuries unambiguously fell into the category of “any injury” according to the plain meaning of Labor Code section 3364.5. Moreover, decedent was deemed an employee entitled to workers’ compensation benefits because defendant adopted a resolution stating, “in accordance with Section 3364.5 of the Labor Code, volunteers shall be entitled to Workers’ Compensation benefits for any injury sustained by him/her while in the performance of any service under the direction and control of the District Superintendent.” (C.A. 1st, March 12, 2025.)
