Reis v. Luckett
Annotate this CaseIn 2010, Scott Reis and Austin Luckett, who were both driving separate vehicles, were involved in a three-car automobile accident. Luckett admitted liability for the accident. In 2013, Reis filed a complaint alleging that Luckett’s negligence caused him neck, back, and hand injuries. After a jury trial, the district court concluded that Luckett’s negligence was not a cause of injury to Reis. Thereafter, Reis filed a motion to vacate the jury verdict and grant a new trial. The district court granted the motion for a new trial, concluding that the uncontroverted evidence proved Luckett’s negligence caused injury to Reis’s hand and that the jury verdict materially affected Reis’s substantial rights. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the district court did not err in granting Reis’s motion for a new trial.
