Summary Judgment Obtained In Wrongful Death Case

Attorney
Stacy D. Fulco

Practice Area
General Tort Litigation

 
While a vendor was backing up off a street to deliver milk to a store, a 20 year old was driving down the road intoxicated and tired when the 20 year old's car collided head first into the front of the semi-truck. The driver of the car ultimately died and his parents filed suit. Stacy Fulco obtained summary judgment for the store owner based on lack of duty. The court agreed that the store did not instruct the truck driver as to the maneuver to use when making a delivery so the store had no duty of care to the plaintiff's'-decedent. The property managers filed a similar motion but that motion was denied. The plaintiffs did not appeal the ruling.
