7th Circuit Court of Appeals
Jason Beckner and Jodi Beckner v. Maxim Crane Works, L.P.
23-2929
Civil. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana, Indianapolis Division. Judge Sarah Evans Barker. Vacates the district court’s ruling at summary judgment that the crane operator was also employed by Commercial Air and was therefore Jason Beckner’s co-employee. Finds that question is fact-based and genuinely disputed. Also finds the evidence supporting the Beckners’ response to Maxim Crane’s summary judgment motion was properly in the record and before the court through their response to Maxim Crane’s motion to dismiss. Remands the case for further proceedings to resolve those fact issues.
