Rehearing Granted in Fayette County Fatality Case
The West Virginia state court of claims granted a rehearing to review a Fayette county accident case where six young people died when a car left state Route 61 near Deepwater on January 26, 1941. The panel had awarded 28,000 total to six administrators, with Judge Bland dissenting on sovereign immunity. Acting Attorney General Ira J. Partlow urged the rehearing, arguing the prior ruling was not supported by law and should consider guardrail duties on highways.
