BSP Attorneys Secure Summary Disposition for U-Haul Co. of Michigan

BSP Attorneys William McDonald and Jessica Currie secured summary disposition for U-Haul Co. of Michigan in an action in Wayne County Circuit Court asserting claims of owner’s liability and vicarious liability stemming from a vehicular accident. Agreeing with BSP’s arguments, the court ruled from the bench that the plaintiff had failed to show a genuine dispute of fact for trial because the record contained no identifying information for the alleged U-Haul truck or its driver and, consequently, the plaintiff could only speculate whether U-Haul Co. of Michigan owned the truck allegedly involved in the accident or whether the driver was acting within the scope of employment for U-Haul Co. of Michigan.
