California Court of Appeal July 23, 1987, B024069 (Hisel v. County of Los Angeles)

*971

Opinion

EPSTEIN, J.

*

This appeal raises a single issue, one of first impression: whether the Workers’ Compensation Act (Act), as amended in 1982, continues to bar civil actions by nondependent heirs against the employer of a decedent who was killed in the course and scope of employment. We conclude that it does, and affirm the trial court’s judgment.
