Claims arising from coworker scuffle not barred as exclusive remedy

In Nevada, when a worker states a viable intentional tort claim against a coworker, the claim is not barred under the workers’ compensation law’s exclusivity provision. A guest room attendant for a hotel was confronted with a coworker’s accusation that she used foul language directed at the coworker. The attendant believed the hotel was fabricating a reason to terminate her, so she became angry and quit her job.
