Dismissal with Prejudice Secured for Trucking Company on Negligent Training and Supervision Claims

Valerie Dondero, of the Miami office, obtained a dismissal with prejudice in favor of an interstate trucking company on claims of negligent training and supervision of its driver. Valerie argued the Clooney doctrine and its progeny, which allows a Court to dismiss multiple theories of liability against a trucking company where the additional claims do not result in additional liability against the company. Here, the Company had agreed the driver was within the course and scope of his employment at the time of the accident and the Company, therefore, was vicariously liable for the driver’s actions. The court determined that the additional theories of negligent hiring and supervision would not result in additional liability against the Company, and therefore, dismissed those claims with prejudice.
