Tammy Coleman v. City Kansas City

The plaintiff Tammy M. Coleman brought suit for damages against the defendants City of Kansas City, Missouri , Hunt Midwest
Mining, Inc. and Superior Asphalt Company for injuries sustained when the vehicle she was operating left the roadway attempting
to avoid an oncoming encroaching vehicle, struck the guardrail and overturned. The petition alleged that the City maintained
and operated the public roadway known as Stark Avenue, and that the City was negligent in the design, construction and maintenance
of that thoroughfare. The petition alleged also that Hunt and then Superior, successively, was negligent in the construction
of the surface and shoulders of the roadway. The court entered summary judgment for the defendants Hunt and Superior on the ground that they owed no duty to Coleman.
The court found that there was no just reason for delay and designated the summary judgment in favor of Hunt and Superior
as final for purpose of appeal. The claim against the City remains pending. The plaintiff Coleman appeals from the summary
judgment.
