Austin v. Disney Tire Co., Inc.

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• running red light, without more, does not establish conscious disregard for the danger caused by conduct
• affirming a grant of summary judgment because the defendant’s conduct, a truck driver looking down while approaching an intersection and failing to stop at a red light, did not rise to the level of culpable conduct to support punitive damages
• “whether wilfulness is present requires an analysis of the actor’s state of mind”
• lack of driver skill insufficient to impose punitive damages
