Rivera-Carrasquillo v. Calderon-Lozano, No. 14-1047 (1st Cir. 2016)
Annotate this CaseAngela Rivera-Carrasquillo was injured when she was thrown from a horse during a guided ride she took at a ranch outside San Juan, Puerto Rico. Rivera and her husband filed a personal injury action in the federal district court in Puerto Rico. The jury returned a verdict in favor of Plaintiffs. Certain defendants appealed, arguing that the district court erred in refusing to grant them judgment as a matter of law or to submit the question of whether the statute of limitations barred Plaintiffs’ claims. The First Circuit remanded the case, holding that a remand was necessary because the Court was unable to discern the district court’s reasons for its decision with respect to the statute of limitations defense and the grounds on which certain parties were held liable for Rivera’s injuries.
The court issued a subsequent related opinion or order on January 27, 2016.
