Hansen v. Roberts
Annotate this Case
Plaintiff-Appellant Larry Hansen was involved in an automobile accident with Defendant-Respondent Matthew Roberts. At trial, Plaintiff sought to recover damages for his injuries and Defendant sought to recover property damage for his vehicle. The jury found Plaintiff to be 90% at fault and awarded Defendant damages for his vehicle. Plaintiff appealed the district court's decision to allow Defendant's experts, an accident reconstructionist and a biomechanical engineer, to testify. Plaintiff also appealed the district court's ruling that he waived his objections to Defendant's deposition testimony. Finally, Plaintiff appealed the district court's decision to grant Defendant's motion in limine so far as it limited him from asking whether prospective jurors or one of their family members were or had ever been employed by an insurance carrier. Finding no abuse of the district court's discretion, the Supreme Court affirmed.
