Auto Owner Liable For All Damages By Vehicle
Justice Tavenner ruled in the county magistrate court that the owner of a motor vehicle is responsible for any damage caused by the vehicle even when not present. The decision came in the case over four fence panels knocked down at Lew Hartman’s Neffstown residence by a Butler truck driven by Maynard Fletcher. Butler withheld $14.10 from Fletcher’s wages, who then sued Butler for the amount. Butler seeks a rehearing to fully present his side of the matter.
