On December 5, 2022, Leonard L. Hixon underwent a medical procedure at the Springhill Medical Center to remove a mass that had developed on the right side of his face. Dr. Kent L. Burton and other medical professionals performed the procedure. Afterward, Hixon allegedly suffered complications, including facial paralysis on the right side of his face.
In December 2024, two years after that procedure took place, Hixon sued, among others, Premier Medical Group, Inc. ("Premier"), in the Mobile Circuit Court. In his complaint, Hixon alleged claims pursuant to the Alabama Medical Liability Act ("the AMLA"), § 6-5-480 et seq. and § 6-5-540 et seq., Ala. Code 1975. Specifically, he alleged, among other things, that Premier was vicariously liable for the actions of Dr. Burton under the doctrine of respondeat superior ("the vicarious-liability claim").
