Sunitha Rani Madasu v. Shoals Radiology Associates P.C.

Summary

The Supreme Court of Alabama affirmed the trial court’s grant of summary judgment to Shoals Radiology Associates, holding that Shoals is not vicariously liable for Dr. Bowling’s negligent CT‑scan interpretation because he was not acting within the scope of his employment nor furthering Shoals’s business. The court explained that an incidental or unintended benefit to an employer does not satisfy the respondeat superior test.
