SC Federal Court Grants Summary Judgment in Wrongful Death Case

A Federal District Court in South Carolina accepted our argument that our client, a corporation, had no duty under the facts presented to supervise the off-duty use of a company car and company telephone by an employee involved in a fatal collision with two bicyclists. The court also granted summary judgment on one plaintiff’s survival claim, finding that a plaintiff showing no signs of consciousness post-accident had insufficient time to form an appreciation of impending death. Rob Joyce and Bob Littleton represented the dismissed company.
