INDIANAPOLIS (Legal Newsline) - An Indiana couple’s attempt to get their lawsuit before a more favorable state court failed, as the Indiana Supreme Court said they couldn’t sue the manager of a Walmart store in addition to the company itself.
The state high court was responding to a request from a federal judge to clarify whether Indiana law extends the duty of care to employees in such cases. The answer was no, meaning David and Tammy Branscomb couldn’t defeat so-called diversity jurisdiction by including an Indiana citizen in their lawsuit. Federal courts have jurisdiction over lawsuits involving citizens of different states, and Walmart is based in Arkansas.
