Home > Legal Issues > Governor HaslamTells Brain Injured Tennesseans Their Injuries are not Catastrophic and Tells Tennessee Voters They are Stupid and Must be Controlled from NashvillePosted on June 19, 2011 by Morgan Adams
Governor Haslam has signed a law that states that non-economic damages should be capped in injury (tort) cases In Tennessee at $750,000 in most cases. Now in Tennessee juries are trusted to sentence a man to death, but apparently they are not trusted by the Governor to determine the proper amount of compensation for victims of someone else's wrongdoing in an injury case. There is not even a "three strikes and you're out" rule for really bad people and corporations that are repeat offenders!
Whether you agree or disagree with jury limits doesn't really matter, as the Tennessee Legislature and Governor Haslam can pass whatever legislation they want, and apparently they wanted to limit the amount of non-economic damages that can be received from someone injured by a wrongdoer. The new law is flawed in several aspects in my opinion.
First there is the hypocrisy in allowing "unlimited" damages against those that commit intentional acts. That sounds great but the Governor and legislators know that NO INSURANCE POLICY IN TENNESSEE WILL PAY FOR AN INTENTIONAL ACT. It is EXCLUDED from the policy. Thus an an injured victim will likely get less money, not more, if you prove the defendant acted intentionally. It sounds good on a stump speech, but in reality this section of the law gives nothing and takes away everything form the injured. The Governor could have easily required insurance companies to cover these acts, but chose not to do so.
The second level of the legislature's and Governor's hypocrisy is that juror's WONT BE TOLD that there are limits in place. They believe that they helped someone, when in reality the government took it away and made them sweat out determining the amount of non-economic damages above $750,000 in the jury room for NO PURPOSE.
The final part of this tragedy is that the Governor will allow some catastrophically injured Tennesseans to receive more than others. There is a special category for "catastrophic loss," which would raise the cap for non-economic damages in cases involving serious spinal cord injuries, severe burns, some severe multiple amputations, or the death of a parent of minor children. Now this new law excludes parents of adult special needs children, children taking care of the elderly (don't worry, they can go to a state run nursing home), victims with brain injuries, twenty year olds who have to wear diapers, or a bag, to catch excrement and waste fluids, chronic pain, etc...
Shouldn't we let a jury, on a case by case basis, decide if these cases are catastrophic after hearing the all facts? Shouldn't we let a jury decide that if you kill enough Tennesseans, you are going to get put out of business? Do parents taking care of special needs adult children, really deserve less than parents taking care of minor children? The Governor and legislature chose to take away these choices from the jury. Some Tennesseans are now more different than others and none of us are as special as corporations.
Many of my clients are brain injured, and catastrophically so, even if they are able to walk and talk. Their lives, as they knew them prior to the wreck, are over. In many case their personalities have changed. They died, but their life goes on. I find it arbitrary, and frankly an abuse of power, that the Governor has decided who can be catastrophically injured in advance of knowing all the facts. That Nashville knows better than a jury of 12 Tennesseans. I guess I trust the people of Tennessee more than those in office now. Voter's of Tennessee, your governor and your legislature just called you too stupid to do what is right in a jury box. (they also called the Judge, lawyers in the case, the Courts of Appeal and the Tennessee Supreme Court too stupid to get it as well, but hey, they were on a roll.) Voters you need to remember this come November.
If You Are Injured
AppId is over the quota
If you suspect you’ve been injured by a defective product, you need: 1) to quickly protect the key evidence, and 2) find a lawyer who knows how to determine if a dangerous product was at fault.
You need to move quickly to preserve evidence. Evidence disappears quickly and without certain evidence it becomes impossible to obtain a judgment against the manufacturer of a defective product. Find the suspicious product, protect it and make sure that it stays in the same condition that it was in after the incident. If the product is in someone else’s possession (such as a motor vehicle under police hold at a body shop) send a certified letter notifying everyone involved that the product is potential evidence and must not be destroyed. There is often other critical evidence besides the product, but you need a competent lawyer specialized in your kind of case to identify and preserve this evidence.
You need to find a lawyer with the skills and expertise to investigate the incident, the injuries and the product. Many times Americans do not realize that a defective product contributed to their injuries or to the death of a loved one. In fact, even lawyers without the requisite expertise may not recognize the evidence of a defective product.
For example, when someone dies in a car accident after being ejected, the police, family members, even lawyers assume that the seatbelt was not in use. Sometimes, however, the seatbelt unlatched during the collision. Certain seatbelts are vulnerable to unlatching when subjected to specific kinds of accident forces. To investigate this kind of incident, you need to find a personal injury lawyer who, first of all, knows to look, and second, knows what to look for. You need an attorney who knows which seatbelts are vulnerable, how they’re vulnerable and what evidence is left behind when a seatbelt buckle unlatches.
These cases require significant resources and special expertise and you should take great care in choosing a lawyer. Make sure your personal injury attorney can handle this kind of case and has had successful results.

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.

Three Dead, Two Injured in Early-Morning Arlington Wreck
AppId is over the quota
Posted On: October 10, 2011 by Mark A. Anderson
It’s only Monday morning, and already a disastrous single-car accident which occurred in Arlington in the early hours has cost three people their lives and left another two hospitalized in critical condition. At approximately 3:00am this morning, an Arlington patrol officer witnessed a flash of light on Southeast Green Oaks Boulevard between Cravens Park Drive and Yaupon Drive. A Honda Accord carrying four passengers in addition to the driver crashed into a tree. No other vehicles were involved in the collision.
According to the police, the driver and a passenger identified as his brother were pronounced deceased at the wreck scene. A third person, a female, died shortly thereafter at John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth. Another two individuals, both passengers in the car, remain in critical condition and are being treated for serious injuries. No names of the accident victims have been released, although police have confirmed the ages of all five individuals range from 17 to 21.
At this stage, a police investigation has not determined what caused the driver of the Honda to lose control, although it is believed that speeding was a factor. Given the rain we’ve had over the weekend after a month-long drought, the roads around DFW are particularly slippery right now, causing hazards for all motorists. Police also reported that a liquor bottle was recovered from the destroyed vehicle, and have noted that alcohol could possibly have been a factor although they cannot confirm whether the driver had indeed been drinking.
Regardless of the causes of this crash, the fact that it is a tragedy is undeniable. I would like to offer my most sincere and heartfelt sympathies to the families and loved ones of those whose lives were lost in the accident. I am very sorry for your loss. I would also like to offer my thoughts and hopes for a full recovery to those who remain under the doctors’ care.

Seattle Car Accident Lawyer | Man Injured on Bus Files Suit Against King County

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.

Woman Killed, Six Others Injured In Grand Prairie Wreck
AppId is over the quota
Posted On: September 19, 2011 by Mark A. Anderson
Most of us don’t even think about how dangerous it is to get in the car and head out somewhere. We just don’t think about it. We do it every day, and yet we rarely stop to think that we’re really putting our lives at risk every time we are either a passenger or a driver on the roads of Dallas-Fort Worth. As a North Texas personal injury lawyer, I know that deadly wrecks happen throughout DFW on a daily basis. Some are caused by drunk drivers, but not every crash is the cause of such gross negligence.
On Saturday afternoon, for example, Juana Mancilla, 71, of Grand Prairie, was killed in a fatal two-vehicle accident at the intersection of Dickey Road and Texas 161 in Grand Prairie. Mancilla was a passenger in an SUV which allegedly ran a stop sign putting in the path of a van which hit its side. According to police, Mancilla was ejected from the SUV which then rolled over, landing on top of her. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
Both the driver of the SUV, Jose Cruz Mancilla, 41, and the driver of the van, Billy Bannister, 71, as well with four additional passengers in the SUV were taken to hospital by ambulance to be treated with what were described as non-life threatening injuries.
I don’t want to speculate on the cause of this terrible accident, since clearly as a passenger in the SUV, Mrs. Mancilla had no control over the vehicle she was riding in at the time of the collision. Naturally, my thoughts and sympathies go out to all those who were hurt in the wreck, as well as their loved ones.
Unfortunately, while it does not appear that there was any significant negligence prior to this accident taking place, it goes to show just how suddenly and without warning an auto accident can occur. We should all realize that getting behind the wheel is the most dangerous thing we do every single day. And we should all resolve to take much greater care while driving around DFW.
