Case Name Lindsey v. E&E Automotive and Tire Service
Date 10/01/2010
Note A mechanic fulfilled his duty to an employer and its employees by warning them about an unrepaired parking brake.
Citation S-13609
WCC Citation WCC 242010 AK
TIMOTHY R. LINDSEY, Appellant, v. E&E AUTOMOTIVE & TIRE SERVICE, INC. , and JAMES S. EGBERT, Appellees.

It is questionable whether based on this conduct, Egbert owed a personal duty of care to Wesgro or Lindsey.
