The case

Gerardo Villar, a truck driver employed by DJW Transport, Inc., alleged that he had been injured at a facility owned by the Passaic Valley Sewerage Commission (PVSC), which had contracted with Environmental Protection and Improvement Company, Inc. (EPIC) to pick up and transport bulk waste from its facility.

EPIC had subcontracted the hauling work to DJW, and Mr. Villar went to the PVSC site to load and haul away the bulk waste pursuant to the parties' agreement.
