Hicks affirmed granting a motion to dismiss filed by the Department of Transportation, but reversed motions for summary judgment granted to two construction companies against a couple who sued them for failing to clear a clogged catch basin, which caused flooding that led to the couple hydroplaning and suffering a car accident in which they were injured. The orders striking the couple’s expert reports are also reversed. The department is immune from liability in this case because there is no evidence that it knew of the clogged basin and flooding before the accident, and the fact that it owns the highway where it occurred does not make it liable. The opinions of two engineers were struck and the companies’ motions for summary judgment granted because the opinions were considered speculative but the opinions don't have to be flawless. Even if someone else could come to a different conclusion with the information the experts had, a reasonable person could have come to the same conclusions as they did.
