Date: 7/31/2014
Attorney(s):- Adam G. Linett
Summary
We represented thirteen (13) current and former employees of a North Carolina freight shipping and trucking company who alleged that they were not paid minimum wage and overtime under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). The employer moved to dismiss the claim for failure to state a claim. However, District Court Judge Beaty denied the motion and allowed the Plaintiffs’ claims to go forward holding that the defendant’s motion was premature and the complaint was sufficiently detailed to state a claim.

Summary
Four passengers sued the driver of automobile who overturned her vehicle in Alabama while all were in route to North Carolina. The trial court dismissed three of the plaintiffs' claims finding they were barred by the Alabama guest statute. Plaintiffs appealed arguing that the Alabama guest statute was contrary to North Carolina public policy and that it violated the Equal Protection Clause. However, the Court of Appeals upheld the trial court's decision and the North Carolina Supreme Court denied review. The remaining passenger settled after the appeal was concluded as his claim was found exempted from the guest statute as the husband and co-owner of the vehicle.
