Supreme Court of Alabama

Ex Parte Lincare Inc. and Angela Stewart. (in Re Sandra Martin v. Lincare Inc. and Angela Stewart)

August 19, 2016218 So. 3d 331

Summary

The Alabama Supreme Court granted in part and denied in part a writ of mandamus petition by Lincare Inc. and Angela Stewart, holding that the tort claims against Lincare are barred by the Workers' Compensation Act’s exclusivity provisions, that mandamus is unavailable to review a denial of a motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim, and that the jury‑waiver clause does not apply to Stewart’s claims.
