Yeager v. Morris
Annotate this CasePlaintiff and her minor daughter were injured when their vehicle was involved in a collision with a pickup truck driven by Michael Morris, Jr. (Son), a Glacier County resident. The pickup truck was owned by Michael Morris, Sr. (Father), a Teton County resident. The collision occurred in Teton County but Plaintiff's vehicle was propelled across the county line and came to rest in Cascade County. Plaintiff filed a complaint in Cascade County against both men, claiming Son was negligent in his operation of the vehicle and Father negligently entrusted Son with the pickup truck. Son moved to change the venue to either Glacier or Teton county. The district court granted the motion and moved the proceeding to Glacier County. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the district court did not err in finding that Cascade County was an improper place for trial, as the tort was not committed in Cascade County and Defendants lived in Teton and Glacier counties.
