Sanchez v. Fernandez

Jose Luis Sanchez Vasquez and his father, Arnulfo Sanchez Hernandez (collectively "Appellants"), challenge the final summary judgment entered in favor of Sorrells Grove Care, Inc. ("Grove Care"), Sorrells Brothers Packing Company, Inc. ("Packing Company"), and J. Felix Ramos. The trial court concluded that Sanchez Vasquez, as the plaintiff below, had made an election of remedies when he settled with the workers compensation carrier and was therefore precluded by law from seeking further relief in a tort claim action. Because the record does not support the trial courts finding that Sanchez Vasquez made an election of remedies, we reverse.
