Description
This case originated with a suit about damage to a dump truck caused by the failure of a hydraulic assembly which had been repaired by defendant/cross-appellant, Truckweld Equipment Company. Plaintiff/cross-appellee, Swenson Trucking & Excavating, the owner of the truck, filed suit to recover the entire amount of the damages, although its insurer, Insurance Company of America had already paid it $12,000.00 of the $89,000.00 claimed in the suit. Truckweld subsequently obtained summary judgment on all five counts of the complaint and was upheld on four of them on appeal. Swenson Trucking & Excavating, Inc. v. Truckweld Equipment Co., 604 P.2d 1113 (Alaska 1980). Truckweld had received $750.00 in attorneys fees and $364.37 in costs in the trial court. Since Swenson was the prevailing party on appeal, Swenson was awarded fees and costs for the appeal in the amount of $879.50, and the earlier award of fees and costs to Truckweld was vacated.
