REBECCA HUDSON ET AL. v. PAUL GRAVETTE ET AL.

Posted by: Azya Thornton on May 8, 2025

Court: TN Court of Appeals

Attorneys 1: Brian Patrick Dunigan, Goodlettsville, Tennessee, for the appellant, Rebecca Hudson.

Attorneys 2: Christopher M. Jones, Brentwood, Tennessee, and Richard J. Montes, Woodbury, New York, for the appellees, Paul Gravette and Leigh Ann Gravette.

Judge(s): BENNETT

A kennel technician filed a personal injury action against the owners of two dogs, asserting a claim under the statute governing dog owners’ liability for injuries caused by their dogs and a claim for common law negligence. The technician alleged that the dogs attacked and injured her while they were boarded at her place of employment. The trial court granted summary judgment to the dog owners on both claims. We affirm the trial court’s decision to grant summary judgment on the statutory claim, but we reverse the court’s decision to grant summary judgment on the common law negligence claim.
