Result:
Judgment in Favor of the Defendant
Summary:

After a trial before a Magistrate on November 1, 2024, Boston Associate Cassian Harman obtained a Judgment for the Defendant, TransWaste, Inc. in the property matter styled Marjorie Normand v.TransWaste, Inc. The Plaintiff claimed Defendant negligently drove a tractor-trailer across her driveway while delivering a dumpster to her neighbor, causing significant damage. The Plaintiff subsequently claimed that she lost the ability to use her driveway and that it required total reconstruction.  At trial, Plaintiff used photographic evidence, witness testimony, and police report to argue that the weight of the truck and the route the driver took during the delivery proved Defendant was liable for the damage.  The Defense was able to use the photographic evidence to cross-examine the Plaintiff’s witness and elicit testimony that another trucking company removed a dumpster from the property prior to Defendant’s delivery. Further, Defendant was able to show that the tire tread prints on Plaintiff’s driveway were not the same as those on the tires used in Defendant’s trucks. Defense argued Plaintiff’s case was solely based upon speculation with no direct evidence of fault. On 11/5/2024, the Magistrate entered a Judgement in favor of the Defendant.
