Glenn Eric Lilly appealed the trial court's summary judgment in favor of Michael Scott Weisinger, which held that the exclusive-remedy provision of the workers’ compensation statute barred Lilly’s negligence suit. Lilly sustained injuries while tedding hay on Weisinger's personal farm property and alleged Weisinger was individually negligent and not a workers' compensation subscriber for those operations. Weisinger argued that Lilly was an employee of Weisinger Inc., covered by its workers' compensation insurance, making the exclusive-remedy provision applicable. The Court of Appeals affirmed, concluding that Lilly was indeed an employee of Weisinger Inc. at the time of the incident and therefore his claims against Weisinger were barred by the exclusive remedies provision of the Workers’ Compensation Act.
