Supreme Judicial Court of Maine

Timothy M. Convery v. Town of Wells

June 21, 2022276 A.3d 504

Summary

The Maine Supreme Judicial Court affirmed the Superior Court’s denial of the Town of Wells’ summary‑judgment motion, holding that the MTCA’s waiver of immunity applies when a government employee’s negligent operation of a motor vehicle causes a collision, even if the government vehicle does not directly collide with another vehicle or person. The court based its decision on a plain‑meaning construction of the phrase “resulting in a collision.”
