- The Court's decision settles the law in the State of New Jersey on how car accident victims are treated at crash sites by police in the State of New Jersey.
- Mr. Minasian successfully argued before the Court that rendering assistance to stranded motor vehicle accident victims is a mandatory ministerial act.
- The Supreme Court agreed that if their duty was ministerial in nature, the officers are not entitled to immunity under the Tort Claims Act.
- "The Supreme Court performed a thorough analysis of the Tort Claims Act, and its distinction between discretionary and ministerial duties of police officers," said Minasian.
