The Georgia Court of Appeals has reversed a trial judge’s ruling holding U-Haul liable for the full extent of the damages in a wrongful death lawsuit filed by the family of a man who was hit by a rented truck.

“After a thorough review of the record and the relevant statutory provisions, we conclude that the trial court erred in denying the U-Haul defendants’ motion to dismiss because the declaratory judgment action was improper. Accordingly, we reverse,” Judge Todd Markle wrote for a unanimous panel that included Presiding Judge Chris McFadden and Judge Brian Rickman. The decision was released Friday.
