WILLIAMS v. PORT AUTHORITY OF N.Y.
Supreme Court of New Jersey (2003) | 813 A.2d 531; 175 N.J. 82
TL;DR: A worker exposed to chemicals for four months in New Jersey and over twenty years in New York filed a workers' compensation claim in New Jersey. The court held the brief New Jersey exposure was too minimal to establish subject-matter jurisdiction.
Legal Significance: This case establishes a three-part jurisdictional test for extraterritorial occupational disease claims in New Jersey, requiring a substantial connection between the in-state exposure and the resulting injury, distinguishing such claims from those involving a single traumatic accident.
