Judge: Serena R. Murillo, Case: 21STCV13890, Date: 2022-09-26 Tentative Ruling

Case Number: 21STCV13890    Hearing Date: September 26, 2022    Dept: 29

United Financial Casualty Company v. Louis Reyes, et al.

Request for Court Judgment against Defendants Louis Reyes and Rosa Linda Reyes

Tentative: CONTINUE to allow Plaintiff to correct the following issues:

1)     There should also be a declaration from the insureds (i.e., the percipient witness) setting forth the facts establishing the liability and proper identification of the defendant(s). 

2)     As Rosa is being sued solely as the owner of the vehicle, plaintiff must prove the defendant’s ownership of the vehicle.

3)     Plaintiff should clarify in the proposed judgment that Rosa’s liability is limited to $5,000 for property damage, plus $15,000 for personal injury to one person / $30,000 for injury to more than one person.   (Vehicle Code 17151(a).)

4)     Paragraph 7 of proposed judgment should state: "Any credit on one judgment shall apply to all judgments in this case."
