Supreme Court of Louisiana
Lemann v. Essen Lane Daiquiris, Inc.
March 10, 20062006 La. LEXIS 770
Summary
The court held that the EMS defendants were entitled to summary judgment because the record showed no genuine issue of material fact and plaintiffs could not establish that the paramedics breached a duty owed to Parker. The paramedics reasonably assessed Parker as alert, oriented, and without signs of serious injury, twice offered transportation, and respected his informed refusal. The court therefore reversed the denial of summary judgment and dismissed the claims against the EMS defendants.
