Case: Individual Employment Rights/Negligence (W.D. Wash.)

A Washington federal district court denied an assistant superintendent’s summary judgment motion on negligent supervision and retention claims brought by an employee under Washington state law, finding that although such claims would be duplicative of Washington Law Against Discrimination harassment claims if both were asserted against the same defendant, the employee had not actually asserted a WLAD claim against the superintendent personally, and his argument that only employers can face negligent supervision claims lacked supporting authority.
