GMT Obtains Summary Judgment for Puget Sound Energy
April 1, 2004. Today GMT obtained summary judgment for Puget
Sound Energy (“PSE”) in a catastrophic personal injury
case. The plaintiff, age 13, and his friend, age 14, intentionally
lassoed a PSE 115,000 volt transmission line with a strand of Christmas
lights. The Skagit County Superior Court granted PSE summary judgment
holding that PSE had no duty to elevate its transmission lines higher
than required by Washington law, or give any warnings, because no
reasonable jury could conclude that the plaintiff’s actions
were foreseeable to PSE. PSE was represented by Jeff Thomas and Dan
Houser.
