Melanie Jones, individually and on behalf of Matthew H. v. Shavonna Rachelle Windham, et al. - Dissent

I must respectfully dissent from the majority's Opinion, and I believe Tennessee should adopt the preemption rule. In my view, once an employer has admitted respondeat superior liability for an employee's negligence, it is improper to allow a plaintiff to proceed against the employer on a negligent hiring or negligent supervision theory of liability.
