Civil Litigation

A trucking company took one of its trucks to a repair facility to have computer diagnostics of the truck’s engine. The repair facility recommended $6,000 in repairs, but the company declined the repairs four times. However, the repair facility sought “permission” from the driver-employee and made the repairs anyway. While test driving the truck, and due solely to the repair facility’s malfeasance, engine coolant leaked into the combustion chamber and cracked the engine block rendering the truck inoperable. The trucking company suffered significant economic losses MNB Meridian attorneys sued the repair facility due to fraud, breach of contract, and intentional interference with business and contractual relations. MNB Meridian was able to negotiate a settlement of the case.
