J. Wiseman finds the trial court properly awarded damages to the wife injured in the traffic accident. The driver of the at-fault vehicle admitted fault and the court awarded damages to the wife, who was driving, but not her husband, who was a passenger. The 5-mph collision occurred at an intersection, with one vehicle just beginning to move from a standstill and the other slowing down to make a turn. The husband and wife cannot prove reckless disregard. Affirmed.

J. Theofanis grants Amazon's petition for mandamus relief in a personal injury case brought by a vehicle passenger injured after a collision with a van delivering packages for the company. The trial court denied Amazon's motion to dismiss the passenger's complaint as time-barred. The passenger's claims that Amazon withheld information to allow the two-year limitations to expire are not supported because Amazon had no legal requirement to produce documentation relating to the crash. Furthermore, because the limitations on his claims have expired, Amazon is entitled to have the claims dismissed.

J. O'Connor denies the government a new trial after a jury awarded more than $23 million to a man who became a quadriplegic following a car collision with a postal truck.

J. Gladwin finds the trial court properly found in favor of certain individuals associated with the trucking company in this suit brought by drivers who allegedly suffered serious injuries when their vehicle collided with a tractor-trailer when changing lanes to avoid two other collisions. The drivers failed to offer proof that their injuries were proximately caused by the other motorists’ alleged negligence. Because of conflicting airbag module data, certain aspects of the summary judgment granted in favor of the truck driver and his employer are reversed and remanded. Affirmed in part.

J. Urias denies motions for summary judgment in a convoluted dispute involving multiple trucking companies, an insurance company and others over a vehicle accident that damaged pharmaceutical goods in transport. A trucking company that was not transporting the products but was involved in the wreck brought counterclaims after it alleged that another trucking company was responsible for the incident by failing to move their vehicle out of the roadway, resulting in a rear-end collision. Other parties involved in the case sought summary judgment on those claims. Summary judgment is not appropriate at this time because there are still genuine disputes regarding this case, including whether the pharmaceutical company had entered a “principal-agent relationship or an independent contractor relationship” with the company transporting its goods.
