The lawsuit, W&T Offshore v. Wesley Fredieu, from Harris County and Houston's 14th Court of Appeals, was one of three cases that used Zoom for the first time to argue before the Texas Supreme Court back in April. Houston attorney, Kevin Dubose of Alexander Dubose & Jefferson, spoke to Texas Lawyer about his recent victory and what it was like to try a case remotely through Zoom.
What happened in the case?
Kevin Dubose: Wesley Fredieu's arm was crushed and permanently injured in a drilling rig accident caused by the negligence of the rig owner. The question on appeal was whether Wesley was the "borrowed employee" of the rig owner, which would limit him to worker's compensation payment and foreclose any recovery in this lawsuit.
