Fortney v. Department of Highways

On January 19, 1988, claimant Warren E. Fortney was travelling on State Route 21, Marshall County, in the vicinity of Moundsville. His 1983 Chevette struck ice, left the road, and went over an embankment. The vehicle was a total loss. Claimants seek $8,000.00 for personal injuries, work loss and loss of the vehicle. It was brought to the attention of the Court by counsel for respondent that the vehicle in question was titled in both the names of Warren E. Fortney and Mary Ann Fortney. For that reason the Court amended the style of the claim to include Mary Ann Fortney as a party claimant.
