Scott v. Chevron U.S.A.

Opinion

DOSSEE, J.

Plaintiffs contend that defendant maintained a dangerous condition on its property which contributed in part to a fatal auto accident on a highway adjacent to the property. Defendant moved for summary judgment on the alternate grounds that it owed no duty of care to plaintiffs or that its use of its property was not the proximate cause of plaintiffs’ injuries. The trial court granted defendant’s motion for summary judgment.

We find Chevron owed no duty to plaintiffs as a matter of law, and therefore, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
