RECENT CASES IN
PERSONAL
INJURY: | |
AVIATION
We recently obtained a large settlement in the crash of an
airplane for two women passengers who were seriously injured.
Liability was hotly contested by the defendants, however, we
prevailed by proving negligence in the packaging of one of the
airplanes carburetors. We proved that a piece of Styrofoam was
permitted to get inside the carburetor causing the engine to quit
and the plane to crash.
PRODUCT LIABILITY CASES
We have handled numerous other product liability cases including
circular saw accidents, toxic tort cases, crane rollovers and
various other aviation cases. Please call if you have a
question on a particular case. We will let you know whether or
not I have experience in that matter.
NURSING HOME LIABILITY
Working with another attorney we obtained a large settlement for
a 94 year old lady who jumped out of the window of the long-term
care facility where she resided. Although she was becoming
increasingly paranoid, the nursing home took no precautions, to
protect her. The nursing home defense was lack of knowledge
and that she was trying to commit suicide. We proved that they
violated various standards which govern nursing homes.
