First of all, lets focus on the car itself. If the car was disabled for structural reasons or faulty manufacturing, then his family can file a wrongful death suit against the car company, seeking damages and emotional distress, as well as a few other things. Of course, if the car simply had a flat tire, that option would be out.

The family could also sue the driver of the mustang for hitting Mr. Palmer. Whether intentional or not, the wrongful death of Mr. Palmer falls into the standard California personal injury laws. Finding a good attorney and taking this case to court should be no problem for Mr. Palmer’s loved ones.

The woman initially sued Fry’s Food and Drug, the location where the slip and fall occurred. But after investigations were complete, it was discovered that the store had done everything within their power to get Coca-Cola to remove the machine and change it out for a new one prior to the accident. Since Coca-Cola ignored these pleas over a two-year period of time, it was determined that they were negligent, not to store.

In the end, the teacher sued for $149,000 and walked out of court with $1.5 million, the jury’s solution to the problem of her now chronic back pain. And Coca-Cola? Well, they tried to have the decision appealed but were denied. I hope this leads them to actually replacing the refrigeration unit at Frys.

While this man says he is lucky just to be alive, he does want to raise awareness amongst other industrial employees about the dangers of their field and the importance of safety gear. While he was wearing the full body suit required of him when he fell, he was not wearing a helmet or a safety harness, both of which could have saved him from further harm.

He also wants his employer and the other industrial companies in his area to focus more on the safety of their employees. His statements show that he doesn’t believe the scaffolding to be in good condition when he fell, claiming it collapsed out from underneath him. He also says that a lot of companies cut corners in safety in order to get the job done quickly and make more money. However, the company he works for claims that he simply slipped and fell off the scaffolding and that they have excellent safety measures in place.

This case has called several things into question, most of which are safety concerns for workers. There are clear laws in the state of California about worker safety and what gear should be worn, and industrial companies should do their best to ensure their employees have a safe working environment. If they don’t, there could be a lot of lawsuits in their future.

However, apparently a group of high school students didn’t see this in the same light. How do I know? Because they are being sued… well, their parents are being sued for their actions anyway.

The janitor by the name of Keith Muskopf is suing the parents of two boys who were “participating in horseplay” in the hallway when they slammed a door open… and directly into Mr. Muskopf’s shoulder. This action led to a serious shoulder injury, and Mr. Muskopf and his wife are suing because of it.

Do they have the right to sue? I think so. The negligence of these boys led to a serious injury, one in which a man with a janitor’s salary shouldn’t have to pay. But will the case hold up in court? I’m not so sure. After all, it’s hard to sue teenagers, and the parents are denying all wrongdoing because they were not present at the time of the accident. This could be a long battle for the Muskopf family.

No. He didn’t do any other those things. In fact, the only thing he did do was walk down the sidewalk.

The cops on duty were chasing someone who had been involved in a drug bust a few blocks away. The man got away. But when the cops ran down the street after him, they came around a corner and ran right into my cousin. Instead of apologizing, they arrested him for assisting the druggie in his getaway!

Now, my cousin is a forgiving man. Even after they embarrassed him on the street, brought his wife in for questioning, and refused to release him for two days, he kept in good spirits. In his mind, it was all a big misunderstanding. When the police realized this, they let him go with their apologies and he was fine with that.

I, however, am not. I know that this wrongful arrest could have ruined his career had his clients found out. I know that it worried his wife and cause him a lot of stress. If I were him, I would contact a personal injury attorney immediately and get the issue resolved with a monetary sum. After all, he deserves it. But for the moment, he is refusing any legal action. Maybe he just wants to forget the entire event ever happened.

All new toys, regardless of size, come with instructions and safety information. Usually those warnings are thrown out or ignored because they are mostly common sense. But sometimes the safety regulations are vital to the toy’s operation.

That is the case with the Rhino. The Rhino is designed to be an off-road vehicle only and has many safety stipulations, like only allowing drivers over 16-years-old to operate them and wearing a safety helmet at all times. When these recommendations are ignored, accidents happen.

But just because an accident occurs doesn’t mean the manufacturer is at fault. In fact, according to several different court outcomes in the last two years, Yamaha isn’t responsible in the tiniest way for the accidents that occurred on the Rhinos purchased.

So, don’t worry about purchasing this product, but please follow the safety instructions to the letter.

While Henry pled guilty to the charges against her for the accident, she was only given 2 ½ years of probation and a suspended trucking license for two years. Not much of a price when you consider the loss of life and the injuries suffered by other drivers. However, in a personal injury suit that will be remembered, Henry and the trucking company were sued for almost $24 million, and the plaintiffs won.

Of course, the trucking company wanted nothing to do with that much of a loss and tried to appeal to a higher court. Their appeals failed. Now, the families of the innocent victims can finally receive the compensation they deserve. It’s about time.

When Gaylord Tootsie Daney felt he wasn’t being represented well enough by his court appointed public defender, he did the only crazy thing that came to mind. He hit her so hard in the face that it sent her head crunching into the wall and broke her glasses. She sustained some pretty bad injuries and the public defenders office refused Mr. Daney further counsel.

So what had him so riled? Well, apparently it was a $100 fine for a marijuana charge. Now, personally, I think he proved the prosecutions’ case for them. After all, what kind of normal, not-on-drugs man is willing to punch out a government employee and spend two years in prison because he didn’t want to pay $100? Your honor, the prosecution rests.

However, I do think its sad when a perfectly legitimate case gets turned into a new spectacle because one of the jurors is famous.

Perhaps you know what I’m talking about. When Larry Ellison fulfilled his civic duty and served on a jury panel for a slip and fall case, everyone was suddenly interested. However, no one seemed to care about the victim or the circumstances of the case. Instead, it was reported that the famous CEO was wearing “dark slacks and a black sweater.” Yes, because his personal wardrobe choice was more important than the victim of the case.

Honestly, I realize that the case was private and that court proceedings were not open to the media. Thank God! After all, if they were, I’m sure we’d have gotten less about the case and even more about Mr. Ellison’s facial expressions, whether or not he yawned, and speculation about how the company was running without him.

I’m sure you heard in the news about this lawyer who was charged with inventing plaintiffs for a lawsuit in order to make money. According to then Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Victoria G. Chaney, Mr. Dominguez found people who would pretend to be plaintiffs, coach them on what to say and how to act, and then fabricate evidence to support their claims.

In short, he committed fraud. In length, he created one more reason why every other hard-working American treats personal injury lawyers like pond scum.

So what are we to take from this case? Well, I’m not sure. In my opinion, this is an excellent example of why accident victims should take care when choosing an attorney to represent them in court. Nothing is worse than getting to court and discovering that the person you hired to represent you is held in zero esteem by the court or the state. If this happens, you might as well throw in the towel right away, for nothing said in that courtroom will be taken seriously.
