Description

POSNER, Chief Judge. The appeals in this diversity suit for legal malpractice raise a variety of issues, mainly but not only of causation and of computation of damages. The principal plaintiff, Transcraft Corporation, is a manufacturer of flatbed truck trailers. In 1985 a man named Weekley was driving a semitractor hauling a loaded Transcraft trailer. His wife was in the cab. While Weekley was attempting to exit from an interstate highway, the rig left the road and turned over. Weekleys head was injured in the accident. His wife broke a couple of vertebrae in her neck, but apparently her husbands injury was the more serious, unless its gravity has been exaggerated--of which more later. The Weekleys sued Transcraft, claiming that the accident had been due to grossly negligent welding of a key part of the trailer.
