Garay v. Greyhound Lines CA5
Appellant Greyhound Lines, Inc. (Greyhound) appeals the trial court’s decision to order a new trial following a verdict in Greyhound’s favor. Respondents, Victor Garay and Olga Lopez Garay, along with Emily Moreno, Jose Gonzalez, Maria Ayda Cordoba, and Sienna Aguilar are family members of Sylvia Garay (Garay), Vanessa Gonzalez (Gonzalez), and Stephanie Cordoba (Cordoba). In July 2010, Garay, Gonzalez, and Cordoba were killed in a collision with a Greyhound bus driven by James Jewett (Jewett). Jewett and two bus passengers also died in the collision. A complex litigation followed, including a multi-week trial to determine any potential responsibility Greyhound had for Garay, Gonzalez, and Cordoba’s deaths. The trial ended with a jury verdict answering “no” to the question, “Was Greyhound Lines, Inc. negligent?” The trial court subsequently ordered a new trial, resulting in the present appeal.
