Doug Kemper (Of Counsel-Louisville, KY) represented a drug rehabilitation center and its insurer in litigation involving a three-vehicle accident that resulted in catastrophic injuries to the 11 passengers in our client’s van, many of whom were ejected from the vehicle during the accident. Although it was clear that the accident was caused by one of the other drivers, all 11 plaintiffs joined liability claims against the rehab center and its driver. After settling the liability claims against the at-fault driver and the Underinsured Motorist carrier, the plaintiffs took aim at our client seeking to open the door to a $2 million liability insurance policy. The plaintiffs claimed there were not enough working seatbelts and that our driver had a duty to make sure everyone was belted before driving the van. After extensive discovery and motion practice, 9 of the 11 plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed their claims against our client and Doug prevailed on summary judgment to dismiss the claims of the 2 remaining plaintiffs, resulting in complete vindication of our client’s position.
