On April 12, 2016, David Mincer and Betsy Stewart went to trial in Monongalia County to defend a case brought against Federal Express alleging that a Fedex driver stopped suddenly in the road, which caused a following vehicle to have to swerve into oncoming traffic to avoid it, which then resulted in the following vehicle hitting an oncoming vehicle head-on.
Plaintiff was operating the following vehicle and suffered severe injuries, including a broken nose, broken ribs and a near amputation of her foot and Plaintiff sought recovery of her significant medical expenses and lost wages, claiming that she can no longer work due to the condition of her ankle.
After a full jury trial, the jury determined that Federal Express and its driver were not negligent or at fault and that Plaintiff was the sole cause of the accident and her own injuries. Thus, the jury found Federal Express and its driver were not liable to Plaintiff in any amount.
