Section 25-5-14 Legislative findings and intent as to actions filed by injured employee against
officers, etc., of same employer. The Legislature finds that actions filed on behalf of injured
employees against officers, directors, agents, servants, or employees of the same employer

whom this state competes in seeking to attract and retain...
