On June 7, a jury declined to award damages to a worker who was knocked over by a car while checking for oil leaks. In 2006, Frederick Stewart was kneeling in front of Harold Matthews’ car. He told Matthews to turn the front wheels to the left while stationary. He claimed Matthews allowed his vehicle to roll forward, knocking him over. He claimed a lower-back injury and soft-tissue injuries to his hip. Matthews claimed that Stewart was comparatively negligent because he should have examined the car from the side, which is required by his employer’s safety policies.
