The Hearns argued that the trial court erred by denying their motion for a directed verdict and by improperly instructing the jury on traditional agency principles, contending the logo-liability doctrine should have applied. The appellate court affirmed the trial court's judgment, holding that the logo-liability doctrine was inapplicable because the Hearns failed to present evidence that ABF operated as a carrier-lessee, a prerequisite for the doctrine's application.","primaryTopic":"auto-accident","topicSlugs":["auto-accident","negligence","civil-procedure","jury-instructions","appellate-procedure"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=163778","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/lisa-hearn-and-daniel-hearn-appellants-v-abf-freight-system-inc-responden-108315","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"personal-injury","label":"Personal Injury","href":"/practice-areas/personal-injury","score":32,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: personal-injury","topic: negligence"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/personal-injury"},{"slug":"car-accidents","label":"Car Accidents","href":"/practice-areas/car-accidents","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: auto-accident"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/car-accidents"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: civil-procedure","topic: jury-instructions","topic: appellate-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
