Fowler v. Phillips

Gary M. Gaertner, Jr., Judge

Introduction

John Fowler and Mary Fowler (collectively, Appellants) appeal the judgment of the trial court granting summary judgment in favor of Amy Phillips (Phillips) in Appellants’ personal-injury case. On appeal, they assert summary judgment was improper because the facts established co-employee liability. We reverse and remand for further proceedings in accordance with this opinion and the recent Missouri Supreme Court decisions in Peters v. Wady Indus., Inc., 489 S.W.3d 784 (Mo.banc June 7, 2016), and Parr v. Breeden, 489 S.W.3d 774 (Mo.banc June 7, 2016).
