DeCoudres and Brown Granted a Summary Judgment

Shaun DeCoudres and Web Brown of our Birmingham (AL) office were granted summary judgment in Jefferson County (AL) on claims of negligent hiring, training and supervision in a death case involving a temp agency and tire wholesaler.

Shaun and Web argued that the temp agency scans possible employees for placement and once placed, the agency has no control over the worker’s job duties and responsibilities. In the motion, Shaun and Web argued the plaintiff had not established the temp agency owed a duty to plaintiff and even if they did owe a duty, there was no evidence said duty was breached. Ultimately, the court agreed and granted the motion.

Well done Shaun and Web!
