As reported in the Washington Post, Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood ” ordered a departmental review of commercial bus safety, a response to a string of fatal bus accidents across the country and criticism that the federal government has failed to act.” Jackie Gillan, vice president of the Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety, said, “I’m really pleased that somebody over there is finally looking at motor coach safety.” However, “she said LaHood’s review should not be viewed as a substitute for congressional action on motor coach safety.”
Rear End Crash Denied Summary Judgment
June 11, 2013
In Borowski v. Ptak, (4th Dept. June 2013), a 3-2 decision, the Fourth Department upheld the lower Court’s denial of a summary judgement motion for defendant.
This rear-end crash was a little different than most cases. In this case the Plaintiff was the party that rear-ended the defendant.
