| An insurance company hired a lawyer to represent an employer sued for an accident involving an employee and a phantom driver. The court found the employee negligent. Two years later, the employee sued the phantom driver. The insurer hired the same lawyer to defend the uninsured motorist case. Because the lawyer did not formerly represent the employee (who was merely a witness) and did not gain any confidential information from the witness, the lawyer could defend the case. |
