J. Wolson denies an auto company’s motion for summary judgment against a contractor hired to transport a pickup truck who was injured when the truck, which had mechanical problems, rolled over his legs. A reasonable jury could find that the contractor operated under the assumption that the truck’s transmission would hold it in place because the company negligently failed to tell him the truck was inoperable.

J. Surrick grants the treasurer of Pennsylvania’s motion to dismiss a class action suit alleging that Pennsylvania’s Disposition of Abandoned and Unclaimed Property Act, wherein the state treasurer takes custody of certain property deemed “abandoned and unclaimed,” violates the takings clause of the Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. The government does not need to compensate an owner for the consequences of their own neglect.

Carlos grants an insurance company’s motion for default judgment stating that it has no duty to defend or indemnify a construction company in an underlying state court matter in which a worker was severely injured when the below-ground-level trench collapsed on him.
