Hudson v. Old Guard Insurance Co.
Supreme Court of Delaware
Decided August 12, 2010No. 560, 2009PublishedCited by 24 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
STEELE, Chief Justice:
Underinsured motorist Betty Jean Dennis struck Devin Hudson with her car, when Hudson suddenly rode his bicycle into the road. Hudson asserts that the trial judge erroneously (1) granted his insurer, Old Guard, summary judgment on his allegations that Dennis was negligent per se, (2) directed a verdict on the basis that Hudson had acted more negligently than Dennis, and (3) excluded Hudson’s expert witness’ proffered opinion testimony. Because Dennis had no duty to anticipate Hudson’s darting into the road and did not otherwise act negligently, we AFFIRM.
