Hyatt v. Metropolitan Transit System CA4/1
Plaintiff and appellant Gary Hyatt was injured while riding a bus operated by the Metropolitan Transit System (MTS). He sought damages for personal injury, alleging that the driver had negligently operated the two-part or articulated bus around a turn at an excessive rate of speed, causing Hyatt to be thrown into a stairwell where he broke his leg. The jury returned a special verdict finding that MTS was negligent but that its driver's conduct was not a substantial factor in causing Hyatt's injuries. The court entered a defense judgment.
