Red Lobster Restaurants LLC, and Progressive Flooring Services, Inc., and Dwayne Featheroff v. Abigail Fricke
22A-CT-2221
Civil tort. Affirms the Marion Superior Court’s denial of Red Lobster Restaurants LLC’s motion for summary judgment in a personal injury action filed against it by Abigail Fricke. Finds the trial court did not abuse its discretion when it denied Red Lobster’s motion to strike Fricke’s affidavit. Also finds the trial court did not err when it denied Red Lobster’s motion for summary judgment because Fricke had standing to bring suit in her own name, and a genuine issue of material fact exists regarding whether Fricke intentionally concealed her personal injury lawsuit from the bankruptcy court.
