About this Event
Yerano Martinez sued Jeffrey Smith and Miami County entities after Martinez was injured in a car crash. Martinez alleged the crash occurred because Smith’s bushes blocked his view of a stop sign in a public right-of-way. The Miami County Superior Court awarded summary judgment to Smith. The Court of Appeals affirmed, finding that Smith owed no duty to the motoring public for an obstruction contained wholly on his property. Martinez v. Smith, et al., 249 N.E.3d 1096 (Ind. Ct. App. 2024), trans. pending. Martinez has petitioned the Indiana Supreme Court to accept jurisdiction over the appeal.
