Bachmeier v. Wallwork Truck Centers

SANDSTROM, Justice.

Steven Bachmeier was killed when the semi-truck in which he was a passenger crashed as a result of a failing hub. The hub at issue was destroyed subsequent to a settlement in a previous wrongful death action. Steven’s parents, the Bachmeiers, then brought this action against the manufacturers, collectively referred to as PACCAR. The district court granted PACCAR summary judgment, holding PACCAR’s defense was prejudiced by the lack of the hub in question. Bachmeier appeals from the summary judgment.

We affirm.
