Description
Respondent James A. Heine was involved in two separate automobile accidents while on service calls for his employer. The accidents occurred approximately four and one-half months apart. The first accident was with an uninsured motorist and the second accident was with appellant Valerie Simon. As a result of the accidents, Heine sustained injuries to his right shoulder, right hip, neck, and lower back. He jointly sued State Farm Insurance Company, under his employers uninsured motorist coverage, and Simon. The district court granted Simons motion to sever the trials, but denied her request for partial summary judgment based on collateral estoppel. The court found that Heines previous workers compensation determination did not collaterally estop him from litigating in this action his wage loss from the second accident. A jury found that Simon was primarily at fault for the second accident and awarded Heine $16,900.
