Seriously Injured Truck Driver’s Suit Against Celadon Reinstated

0

Katie Stancombe for www.theindianalawyer.com

A semi-truck driver who was seriously injured after the contents of his trailer fell on him upon opening the door after transport won a partial judgment against the trucking company responsible for loading the trailer when an appellate panel found the company owed him a duty of care.

Paul Wilkes, an over-the-road truck driver for Knight Transport, was dispatched in January 2014 to pick up a trailer full of empty reusable containers that Cummins Inc. used to house engine parts.

The “returnables,” empty and lubricated with industrial solvents, were routinely shipped from Celadon’s Columbus facility to another facility in North Carolina. The trailer Wilkes was directed to pick up for transport had been loaded by an employee of Celadon Trucking Services, Inc.

Wilkes didn’t notice anything outstanding about the way the containers were stacked prior to transport. But upon arriving at his location and opening the trailer door, Wilkes was struck by cascading trays that spilled out from the top of one of the stacks. He sustained serious injuries, including a broken neck and brain trauma.

Wilkes sued Cummins and Celadon for negligence, arguing that the Celadon employee negligently loaded the trailer. Both companies were granted summary judgment when a trial court concluded neither owed a duty of care to Wilkes.

That decision was partially reversed in Paul Michael Wilkes v. Celadon Group, Inc., et al., 18A-CT-2011, when a panel of the Indiana Court of Appeals concluded that Celadon did not demonstrate it owed no duty to Wilkes, and that it failed to demonstrate the absence of a genuine issue of material fact as to the remaining elements of breach of duty or proximate cause.

Celadon asserted that Wilkes’ opposition of the award of summary judgment was inadequate for several reasons, including the fact that no evidence was designated that:

• Celadon or Cummins assumed responsibility to secure Wilkes’s cargo;

• the load had been defectively placed in the trailer;

• an experienced truck driver such as Wilkes would have failed to appreciate any alleged defect;

• anyone assured Wilkes that the load had been properly secured for him, or;

• that Wilkes did not have an opportunity to inspect the load.

Celadon also focused on Wilkes’ duty to care for his own safety, arguing that the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations squarely imposed a nondelegable duty of inspection upon Wilkes under 49 C.F.R. § 392.9.

But the appellate panel instead accepted Wilkes’ version of the events, noting that the circumstances did not facilitate a realistic opportunity for his inspection of the trailer contemplated by the FMCSRs or common law principles.

“We will not employ either regulations or common law to extinguish all duty on the part of Celadon, who summoned Knight to act in assisting Celadon with its duties as a carrier for Cummins, and who exclusively loaded the freight,” Judge L. Mark Bailey wrote for the panel.

The appellate court further found that Celadon did not show that it was compliant with the industry’s standard of care to block and brace the cargo, and ultimately reversed the award of judgment in favor of Celadon.

However, the panel let stand judgment for Cummins, finding that because Cummins did not have a relationship with Wilkes or any control over the instrumentality that allegedly caused him harm, it did not owe him a duty of care. The COA therefore affirmed summary judgment for Cummins and remanded the case for proceedings in Marion Superior Court.

Early College/Ivy Tech to Celebrate Earth Day with Lecture on Global Warming

0

This month’s Early College@Ivy Tech Lecture Series will feature an Earth Day presentation by Jon Schrage, Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation’s Early College High School math and science teacher. The lecture, “Climate Change: What We Know and How We Know It” will be Tuesday, April 23, at 5:15 p.m. in Vectren Auditorium. It is free and open to the public.

Schrage, who holds a Ph.D. in atmospheric science, said to have a constructive conversation about any controversial topic, all parties need to have a shared set of facts.

“In the context of climate change, a lack of shared facts has historically made meaningful debate difficult. The problem is further compounded by the fact that the methods of modern climatology are highly advanced and technical,” Schrage said, and “members of the public erroneously form opinions about “climate” based on personal experiences of ‘weather.”

In this presentation one day after the official celebration of Earth Day takes place, the nature of our modern state of understanding of climate and climate change will be examined, as well as some of the techniques used to predict future climate trends under different public policy scenarios.

Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation’s Early College High School is located at Ivy Tech Community College, and its students attend Ivy Tech classes, along with regular high school coursework – many completing an Associate Degree while still in high school, or their General Education Core — 30 credits transferrable to any college in Indiana.

Men’s Golf runners-up in weather-shortened UIS Invite

0

University of Southern Indiana Men’s Golf snagged its second-consecutive second-place finish at the UIS Spring Invitational on Saturday evening.

The invitational, hosted by the University of Illinois Springfield at the Piper Glen Golf Club, was shortened due to weather concerns in the area for Sunday.

The Screaming Eagles posted a 303 first-round score, behind only Lewis University’s 288, and seven strokes ahead of the host Prairie Stars.

Juniors Zach Breault (Bridgeport, Illinois) and K.O. Taylor (Madisonville, Kentucky) led USI with round scores of 74 each, good for a tie at sixth. Taylor’s round represents the fourth-straight round under 75, dating back to the Parkside Spring Invitational. Breault has improved his score in each of his last four rounds, with 74 tying his second-best performance this season.

Sophomore Nate Caudle (Wayne City, Illinois) posted a 76 for a t-13 finish. Caudle has posted sub-80 rounds in each of his last five, and has posted just one round over 80 dating back to the start of the season in September.

USI Men’s Golf closed the regular season on Saturday, and now begin preparations for the Great Lakes Valley Conference Tournament, beginning April 21 at the Panther Creek Country Club, also in Springfield, Illinois.

Eagles earn Senior Day sweep over S&T

0

The Screaming Eagles (30-14, 16-4 GLVC) earned an 8-0 win in five innings over the Miners in game one; then rallied for a 3-2 victory over Missouri S&T in the nightcap.

Game 1
Sophomore outfielder Alicia Webb (Elberfeld, Indiana) had an RBI-single in the bottom of the first inning to get the scoring going for the Eagles. USI scored three more times in the third and four times in the fifth to secure the victory via the eight-run rule.

Webb and junior pitcher Jennifer Leonhardt (Louisville, Kentucky) each drove in runs in the third frame, while an RBI-double by sophomore first baseman Haley Shouse (Borden, Indiana) put USI up, 4-0.

The Eagles took advantage of four S&T errors in the fifth inning to score their four runs. Senior outfielder/pitcher Caitlyn Bradley (Forest, Indiana) had an RBI-double, while Shouse and senior catcher Lindsey Barr (Whitesville, Kentucky) each had RBIs in the inning.

Leonhardt (18-5) earned the win in the circle for the Eagles after scattering four hits throughout five innings of work. She struck out eight batters en route to her 11th complete-game shutout of the season.

Game 2
Missouri S&T (13-27, 7-11 GLVC) scored twice in the top of the second inning to take a 2-0 lead over the Eagles.

USI, however, got a run back in the bottom of the fourth on an RBI-double by senior second baseman Claire Johnson (Pittsboro, Indiana), while a two-out, two-run single by Leonhardt in the bottom of the sixth inning put the Eagles in front, 3-2.

Senior pitcher Haylee Smith (Florence, Kentucky) got the start for the Eagles as she gave up the two runs off six hits in three-and-a-third innings of work. Bradley (6-5) picked up the win after blanking the Miners on two hits in three-and-two-thirds inning of relief ball.

Seniors honored
USI’s senior class—Barr, Bradley, Johnson and Smith—were honored following the conclusion of game two. The quartet has helped lead USI to a 152-72 overall record, 74-33 in GLVC play, throughout the last four years and have been a part of two Midwest Region championship teams as well as the 2018 national championship squad.
