Supreme Court of Alabama
David Roberson and Anna Roberson v. Drummond Company, Inc. (Appeal from Jefferson Circuit Court: CV-19-901210).
February 9, 2024
Summary
The court affirmed dismissal of the Robersons' indemnification claim against Drummond. It held that the claim was properly reviewable under the final-judgment rule, but that the alleged losses—lost salary and benefits, emotional distress, and criminal penalties—were not recoverable as indemnification, while the only potentially indemnifiable legal fees had already been paid. The court also held that the Robersons failed to preserve their statutory indemnification theory for appellate review.
