Appellants Rhonda Wilson, Rick Wilson, Pamela Mann, and Tommy Stevenson appealed a take-nothing summary judgment against Amalgamated Western Co., Inc. (AWC) and Sam D. Davis. The case involved claims of vicarious liability, including alter ego and respondeat superior, arising from a fatal drunk driving accident caused by Jeannie Davis, an AWC employee and shareholder. Appellants argued for piercing AWC's corporate veil due to alleged disregard of corporate formalities and misuse of funds. The appellate court affirmed the judgment in part, finding no respondeat superior liability. However, it reversed in part, concluding that a factual issue existed regarding alter ego liability for AWC and that summary judgment was improperly granted on certain unaddressed claims against both defendants, thus remanding for further proceedings.
