Louisiana man to receive $2.8M in lawsuit against Allstate

Louisiana man to receive $2.8M in lawsuit against Allstate

Allstate Insurance Company must pay a Louisiana man who lost his home to Hurricane Katrina more than $2.8 million in damages and penalties, a federal jury decided Monday in a case that hinged largely on whether it was wind or storm surge that wiped out his house.

The jury found Allstate – which claimed most of the damage was due to storm surge, an event not covered in its policy – did not pay Robert Weiss enough money to cover wind damage to his home. The verdict included a $1.5 million penalty for the company’s failure to pay the claim quickly enough.

Allstate lawyer Judy Barrasso said in closing arguments that Katrina’s winds were not strong enough to do the damage.

The lawyer for the Weiss, whose home was in the Slidell area on the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain, told the jury in closing arguments that the house was too high above sea level to have been destroyed by Katrina’s storm surge. The eye of Katrina passed just east of Slidell on the morning of Aug. 29, 2005. He also argued that the house was 17 feet above sea level and that engineering data suggested only 14 feet of surge hit the area. “It never reached the bottom of the house,” he said.

Weiss had an Allstate homeowner policy with limits of $343,000 for the dwelling and $240,100 for personal property.

The company, blaming the majority of damage on Katrina’s storm surge, paid $29,483 for structural damage and $14,787 for additional living expenses.

Allstate’s Barrasso said sustained winds at the house did not exceed 100 mph. “There was plenty of evidence to show the winds were not strong enough to topple this house and the storm surge was,” she said.

Jim Neva, a surveyor and engineer who inspected the house for Allstate, initially told Robert Weiss, who is listed as the policy holder, that wind may have destroyed the home before the surge of water washed away its remnants.

He later backed off that conclusion, however, and deferred to engineering consultant Craig Rogers of Rimkus Consulting Group. Rogers, who wrote the final report on the home for Allstate, convinced Neva that storm surge demolished the house.

Rogers said he didn’t personally inspect the property until after he wrote the report. He said he based his conclusions in part on evidence gathered by other Rimkus engineers – a practice he described as common. But Trahant questioned the move.

“Why did Allstate elect to rely on the one engineer who never set foot on the property until long after he stamped his report?” Trahant said in closing arguments.

Insurance Company's Defamation and Copyright Suit Against Blogger Thrown Out

AppId is over the quota
A recent suit filed by Sedgwick Claims Management Services against blogger Robert Delsman has been thrown out by Northern California District Judge.

The blogger actually represented himself in this case and filed the motion that the court construed as a motion to dismiss. While it wasn't exactly eloquent or artful it did the trick and showed that Sedgwick was using the lawsuit to intimidate him and infringe on his freedom of speech. A California law, known as the SLAPP Act, protects citizens from intimidation through litigation brought by private interests.

A mentally and physically disabled Northern Virginia man is appealing to the Virginia Supreme Court a Prince William County judge's decision to dismiss his personal-injury case against Didlake, Inc. Juan R. Jimenez, a 25-year-old man disabled since childhood, had alleged in his lawsuit that he was injured while receiving rehabilitative services at Didlake in April 2007. He claimed he suffered a femoral fracture which required surgery when he was moved by Didlake employees. On March 11, 2009, Circuit Court Judge Mary Grace O'Brien dismissed the lawsuit, ruling that Didlake was entitled to full immunity.

Women Shot by Husband Has Suit Against BJ's Wholesale Club Go Forward

Women Shot by Husband Has Suit Against BJ's Wholesale Club Go Forward

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

Posted on Nov 04, 2008

These are excerpts of a Virginia Circuit Court decision issued September 29, 2008

On April 18, 2006, Plaintiff Karen Phillips' husband shot her on the property of her employer, BJ's Wholesale Club, Inc. This violent assault was the culmination of a continuing pattern of abusive and threatening behavior by her husband, and many of these preceding instances of abuse occurred on BJ's property. Once Phillips' husband dragged her from the store by her hair; and on many other occasions store security personnel had removed Plaintiff's husband from BJ's property at the direction of Defendant, Barbara Harris, a BJ's manager. Just a few days before the final assault, Harris banned Plaintiff's husband from the store.

    On April 18, 2006, the day of the assault, Mr. Phillips called Harris several times demanding to speak to his wife. During those calls he also threatened to come to the BJ's store to find her, despite his having been banned from the premises. Later that day, Mr. Phillips entered the store, confronted Harris, and demanded to see his wife. He eventually exited the store, but remained in his vehicle in BJ's parking lot. When Plaintiff noticed her husband's vehicle in the parking lot, she attempted without success to call her sister, who was picking her up from work that night, to warn her of his presence. Shortly thereafter, her sister arrived, and Plaintiff's husband fatally shot her in the BJ's parking lot. He then entered the BJ's store, located his wife, and shot her also. Plaintiff survived the shooting, but sustained severe wounds.

    On March 3, 2008, Plaintiff filed her complaint seeking damages for personal injuries in the Circuit Court for the City of Norfolk. Although she was injured by her husband's criminal acts, she alleges that the Defendants are also liable for her injuries. The complaint alleges that both BJ's and Harris breached their duty to protect and warn her of the danger posed by her husband. This duty, she asserts, exists because of a special relationship existing between her and the Defendants.

    On March 31, 2008, the Defendants filed a Demurrer and a supporting memorandum to which the Plaintiff filed a memorandum in opposition. On June 2, 2008, the Court heard argument on the demurrer.

Virginia courts consider four factors when determining whether an employer-employee relationship exists.

At common law, upon the question of whether the relationship of master and servant exists, there are four elements which are considered: (1) selection and engagement of the servant; (2) payment of wages; (3) power of dismissal; and (4) the power of control of the servant's action.

Smith v. Grenadier, 203 Va. 740, 746, 127 S.E.2d 107, 112 (1962). Harris, like Plaintiff, was BJ's employee, although they had different duties. Obviously, she is not the Plaintiff's employer, and does not pay any wages or salary to the Plaintiff.

    Virginia courts also require that a contractual relationship exist between the parties before their relationship can be designated as one of employer-employee. Humphrees v. Boxley Bros. Co., 146 Va. 91, 97, 135 S.E. 890, 892 (1926) (“[t]he relation of employer and employee can only exist by virtue of contract, express or implied.”). See also the Virginia Workers' Compensation Act, which defines employee as “[e]very person . . . in the service of another under any contract of hire or apprenticeship, written or implied.” VA. CODE ANN. § 65.2-101 (2008). No express or implied contractual relationship exists between Harris and Phillips.

    The relationship between Harris and Phillips fails to meet any of the definitions of employer-employee recognized in Virginia; therefore, no special relationship exists between them. Without a special relationship, there can be no liability for the acts of third parties. A.H. v. Rockingham Publ'g, 255 Va. at 220, 495 S.E.2d at 485. The complaint alleges no duty that Harris may have breached that is outside the scope of her authority as a manager for BJ's. The duty resulting from the special relationship arises from the employer-employee relationship, that is between BJ's and the Plaintiff. There being no special relationship existing between the Plaintiff and Harris, Harris' demurrer will be sustained and the complaint will be dismissed as to her.

In contrast, an employer-employee special relationship that meets the Supreme Court's tests in Grenadier and Humphrees does exist between BJ's and Ms. Phillips. BJ's had the power to hire Phillips, paid her wages, could dismiss her, and had the power of control over her actions at work. Grenadier, 203 Va. at 746, 127 S.E.2d at 112. She also enjoyed a contractual employment relationship with BJ's. Humphrees, 146 Va. at 97, 135 S.E. at 892. The existence of this special employer-employee relationship between Plaintiff and BJ's imposes a duty on BJ's to protect her. “The employer must perform proper inspections to discover dangers in the place where employees are required to work, and after determining the existence of dangers the employer must take reasonable precautions for the employees' safety.” Norfolk and Western Ry. v. Hodges, 248 Va. 254, 260-61,448 S.E.2d 592, 596 (1994) (citing Williams v. Atlantic Coast Line R.R., 190 F.2d 744, 748 (5th Cir. 1951)).

    Once a duty is established, the next question is whether the duty has been breached. This inquiry turns on foreseeability:

Even though the necessary special relationship is established with regard to a defendant's potential duty to protect or warn a plaintiff against the criminal conduct of a third party, that duty, as in other negligence cases, is not without limitations. A court must still determine whether the danger of a plaintiff's injury from such conduct was known to the defendant or was reasonably foreseeable.

A.H. v. Rockingham Publ'g., 255 Va. at 220, 495 S.E.2d at 485. See also Floyd S. Pike Electrical Contractor, Inc. v. Commissioner, Dep't of Labor & Industry, 222 Va. 317, 322-323, 281 S.E.2d 804 (1981) (“[a]n employer . . . need not take steps to prevent hazards which are not generally foreseeable, including idiosyncratic behavior of an employee, but at the same time an employer must do all it feasibly can to prevent foreseeable hazards. . . .” (quoting General Dynamics v. Occupational Safety & Health, 599 F.2d 453, 458 (1st Cir. 1979))).

    Plaintiff claims that because the danger posed by her husband was foreseeable, BJ's should be held liable for its failure to warn. Whether injuries are foreseeable is ordinarily a question of fact. “Negligence, contributory negligence, proximate cause, and foreseeability are ordinarily questions for the jury; but when reasonable men could not disagree on the facts and inferences drawn therefrom, such issues become questions of law for the court.” Henley v. Davenport, 213 Va. 803, 805, 196 S.E.2d 1, 3 (1973). When a court addresses this question on demurrer, the Plaintiff is “entitled to the benefit of all reasonable inferences that may be drawn from the facts alleged.” Hamlet v. Hayes, 273 Va. 437, 439, 641 S.E.2d 115, 116 (2007). In this case, the facts pled in the complaint could support a finding by “reasonable men” that BJ's should have foreseen the assault. Henley v. Davenport, 213 Va. at 805, 196 S.E.2d at 3. Therefore the case against BJ's may proceed, and its demurrer will be overruled.

Seattle car accident lawyer | Which injured lawsuit against King on bus files County

Seattle car accident lawyer | Which injured lawsuit against King on bus files County

As Seattle personal injury attorney, I know that they are relatively rare compared to road accidents, disastrous accidents can have bus for their victims.  Because we think buses as safe, it is sometimes surprising, if we hear from a bus accident.  The Seattle Times reported on Tuesday about a bus accident, which occurred in 2006, and for which a man has filed suit against King County.  The Court of appeals found that the case, which is based on negligence by the County related to a bus shelter, should go to court.  Sometimes, when people in accidents with government authorities are injured, they believe that to protect them no power or rights.  I believe that this article serves as a reminder that authorities, an account can be considered for their property and actions.  Note that in many cases statutes as private individuals and companies are claims against public authorities of a shorter Statute of limitations may be.

Although we think bus accidents as rare, they happen.  The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration reported 55,000 bus crashes every year throughout the country and in Washington State, leading to more than 20,000 and more than 250 accidents.  These numbers are certainly much smaller than the one that crashes in General apply to traffic, but they are still very significant numbers, and a number of them happen here in Seattle.  It is important to note that no mode of transportation is absolutely certain, and there is always a degree of risk.

If you or a loved one in a bus accident have infringed, you speak with a Seattle car accident lawyer immediately.  In particular, if the bus on a public bus, possibly time a greater role as, if the bus is part of a private company.  Jason Epstein is a dynamic, experienced bus accident lawyer will fight for your rights, while you take care of your health and the health of your family.  Contact for more information and a free adviceJason, with premier law group at (206) 285-1743.

As a Seattle personal injury attorney, I know that, while they are relatively uncommon compared to car crashes, bus accidents can have devastating effects for their victims.  Because we think of buses as safe, it is sometimes surprising when we hear of a bus accident.  The Seattle Times reported on Tuesday about a bus accident that occurred in 2006, and for which a man has filed suit against King County.  The Court of Appeals has determined that the case, which is based on a claim of negligence by the county related to a bus shelter, should go to trial.  Sometimes, when people are injured in accidents involving government agencies, they believe that they have no power or rights to protect themselves.  I believe that this article serves as a reminder that government agencies, too, can be held accountable for their property and actions.  It may be important to remember that in many cases, claims against government agencies are subject to shorter statutes of limitations than private people and companies.

Although we think of bus accidents as uncommon, they do happen.  The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration reports over 55,000 bus crashes annually across the country and in Washington State, resulting in over 20,000 injuries and over 250 fatalities.  These numbers are certainly much smaller than the ones that apply to traffic crashes in general, but they are still very significant numbers and a number of them happen right here in Seattle.  It is important to remember that no mode of transportation is totally safe, and there is always some level of risk.

If you or a loved one have been injured in a bus accident, speak with a Seattle car accident attorney immediately.  Particularly if the bus involved is a public bus, time may be a bigger factor than if the bus belongs to a private company.  Jason Epstein is a dynamic, experienced bus accident lawyer who will fight for your rights while you care for your health and the health of your family.  For more information, and a FREE CONSULTATION, contact Jason at Premier Law Group at (206)285-1743.

September 29, 2011 - According to reports a woman that was involved in an accident leading to the death of an infant has filed a lawsuit against the city of Huntington Beach.

According to reports Caryl Johnson age 53 of Huntington Beach has filed a lawsuit against the city of Huntington Beach, stemming from a chain reaction accident last year. The accident killed an infant from Australia, while being pushed in a stroller by her mother.

Johnson’s lawsuit filed September 16th in Orange County Superior Court states her car was struck from behind while she was stopped by a distracted driver, causing her vehicle to be pushed into the crosswalk and into the pedestrians.

Johnson claims to have been permanently disabled and suffers emotional scars; her husband is also listed as a plaintiff in the suit and alleges loss of consortium against the defendants. He lists that his wife is unable to perform duties as a spouse, work or services. ?
According to police reports, September 7, 2010 at the time of the accident, Johnson complained of neck and back pain.

Johnson’s lawsuit is suing Huntington Beach for allegedly maintaining a dangerous intersection at the location where the accident occurred on Croupier Drive and Sprindale Street. The lawsuit also names driver Robert Anthony Casares, age 50 of Huntington Beach for negligence.

According to police reports Casares who was driving a Chevrolet Tahoe northbound on Springdale Drive, caused the car accident when he did not see Johnson stopped in front of him.

September 12, 2011-According to reports actress Reese Whitherspoon does not plan to press charges against the 84 year old driver that struck her last week in an intersection.

The accident that occurred in Santa Monica when the actress was jogging caused her to suffer minor injuries. Whitherspoon was transported to the hospital for treatment and was released and is recovering at home.

A representative for the actress stated she will not be pressing charges against the 84 year old woman that struck her in a crosswalk, while jogging last Wednesday. The driver, identified as an 84 year old woman was cited for failing to yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk, which requires her to retake the driving test and appear in court October 7th.

According to family members the 84 year old woman did not realize who Whitherspoon was, but feels bad that she struck the actress. The family states she has been shaken up from the accident and has not driven since last Wednesday. She does plan to retake the driving test immediately though.

The 84 year old claims this is a dangerous Santa Monica car accident intersection that has a large tree blocking driver’s sights from lanes where the accident happened. If you have information about dangerous roads in SM, contact the Santa Monica pedestrian accident lawyer at Ehline Law Firm PC 201 Wilshire Blvd., Second Floor, Santa Monica, CA 90401. 310.376.8488.
