Secured Partial Summary Judgment Eliminating a Plaintiff’s Diminished Earning Capacity Claims against a Trucking Company in Federal Court

Amundsen Davis prevailed on a motion for partial summary judgment in a contentious lawsuit involving a tractor-trailer that allegedly reversed into a motorcyclist. The district court granted the motion in favor of the defendant trucking company, finding that the plaintiff failed to offer sufficient evidence that the accident caused any permanent injury that impaired earning ability. On this basis, the court barred any claims at trial for lost wages and benefits after a specific date.
