City of Paintsville, et al. v. Paula M. Haney, as Personal Representative of Estate of Donald Prater, Jr., et al.

Issues include whether the circuit court erred by granting qualified official immunity to police officers without considering the potential existence of a “special relationship” between the officers and a suspect who was under the influence of methamphetamine; and whether the circuit court erred by granting summary judgment on claims of negligent hiring, training, and retention based on a lack of underlying intentional or tortious acts. Oral arguments heard on April 18, 2025.
