Kent Adams (Partner-Houston, TX), Danielle Hollis (Of Counsel-Houston, TX), and Michael Webb (Associate-Houston, TX) were successful in obtaining summary judgment and complete dismissal for their client, a family-owned drilling company, in Guadalupe County, Texas. The plaintiffs sued the drilling company for negligent entrustment after its employee was involved in a motor vehicle accident with the plaintiffs. Kent, Danielle and Michael showed the court that the plaintiffs could not establish all of the elements of a negligent entrustment claim to take the matter to trial. The court agreed and dismissed the plaintiffs’ claims against the drilling company with prejudice. The plaintiffs alleged more than $1 million in past and future medical treatment, with a last demand of $6 million, and they refused to negotiate below that amount.
