Montana Supreme Court
Murray v. Steinmetz
April 28, 20262026 MT 89
Summary
The Montana Supreme Court affirmed the Eighteenth Judicial District Court’s judgment finding both parties negligent, rejecting Murray’s claims that the trial court erred on summary judgment, expert testimony, demonstrative evidence, and the denial of a Rule 59(a) new‑trial motion. The Court held that genuine issues of material fact precluded summary judgment, that the crash investigator’s expert testimony was admissible, that the videos were properly excluded, and that the new‑trial denial was not a manifest abuse of discretion.
