UTAH SUMMARY JUDGMENT WON BY DEWHIRST & DOLVEN IN COMPLEX MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT CASE

Salt Lake County, Utah: In a personal injury case stemming from a complex twelve vehicle pile-up, the Court granted Dewhirst & Dolven attorney Kyle Shoop’s motion for complete summary judgment in favor of Defendant Eugene Cavoli and his employer.

After a series of accidents on snowy I-80 westbound, including Mr. Cavoli’s accident wherein he rear-ended the vehicle in front of him, Plaintiff Chaz Denbow was found under the rear of Mr. Cavoli’s van.  Mr. Denbow sued Mr. Cavoli for negligence, claiming that Mr. Cavoli’s van either hit Mr. Denbow or pushed another vehicle into Mr. Denbow.  Upon Dewhirst & Dolven’s Motion for Summary Judgment, and after hearing oral arguments from counsel for both parties, the Court ruled that no evidence existed to support Plaintiff Denbow’s claims and granted summary judgment in favor of Defendant Cavoli.  Denbow v.
