Ambulatory Trade Secrets

The Southeastern Texas Record is reporting that a new lawsuit has been filed by one South Texas ambulance provider against another.

Court filings allege Cindy Bridges managed Southeast Texas EMS for eight years and was trusted with all the company's trade secrets, including medical providers, pricing information and marketing strategies.

"Defendant Bridges converted all of these trade secrets... and formed a competitive ambulance company," the suit states, adding that she is guilty of tortious interference and conversion.

Southeast Texas EMS is seeking a restraining order and injunction to stop the defendants from capitalizing on its trade secrets.
