A civil jury Thursday ruled that an Aspen ambulance driver and his company are not liable for injuries a longtime Aspen woman said she suffered in February 2004.
Amy Britvar, 71, sued Charles Kirsten and Mountain Ambulance, alleging that she suffered injuries she still feels today because he backed into her. But the defendants’ attorney, Rick Haderlie, told jurors that it was the plaintiff who was responsible for the accident.
