Frivolous Defenses and Frivolous Lawsuits
Legislators have been attacking frivolous lawsuits for clogging the courthouse and unfairly costing our society billions of dollars. As a result almost every state, including the federal government, has passed sever penalties for the filing of frivolous lawsuits. The number of lawsuits has decreased, but the amount of litigation has increased! How can this be? Simple, we now have a proliferation of frivolous defenses.
Defense lawyers, in order to make up for the loss of the volume of cases, are now litigating everything in sight. It adds huge amounts of time to a case (waste a jury's time) and increases the costs and expenses of an injured party needlessly.
A simple fix would be to require frivolous defenses to be sanctioned in the same way frivolous cases are currently being sanctioned.

Posted on Feb 01, 2007
Mary Washington Hospital in Fredericksburg, Virginia has settled five medical malpractice lawsuits filed against it after patients were injured or died after receiving allegedly contaminated heart surgery medication. This lawsuit is not over as two defendants, Central Admixture Pharmacy Services Inc. and B. Braun Medical, the pharmaceutical service's parent company, have not settled and apparently will go to trial. A total of nine lawsuits were originally filed as families or patients alleged death or injury as a result of the bad medication. The surgeries were performed in 2004 and 2005. The families were represented by Stephanie Grana of the Richmond, Virginia, law firm of Cantor Arkema.

Court of shields GoogleMaps pedestrian injury lawsuits
Posted on Wednesday, June 22, 2011We have used all Google maps to find the best route to our desired location. What originally began as a resource for drivers has since expanded to directions suggestions for pedestrians, cyclists and drivers of public transport included. Of course, this solves a number of security impact, because the pedestrians and cyclists are more and more danger than motorists streets of the city while navigating. But when a pedestrian or cyclist on the following Google violated maps directions, they should sue the Internet search mega conglomerate may be? A Utah District Court recently ruled that Google not liable is, because it not obligation debt and the company the victim a valuable public service that is typically applied for all consumers.
Visit Eric Goldman blog for a great synthesis involved the legal problems in this decision. The Court confirms Google primarily to dismiss motion because the walking directions to all users were applicable, and was not personal advice, a special relationship between Google and the plaintiffs. The Court also ruled that although Google gave the directions, they provide no input such as interaction with traffic. "It is clear that Google was not needed, assuming that a user of the Google Maps service would cross the street without looking for cars," the Court wrote, "and unlikely, that missing negligence on the part of the user would be a violation when crossing the road."
This is not to say that pedestrian victims always blame not all the dangers of the street are taken into account. In fact Rosenberg also sued this aspect of the complaint not released the driver of the car, which they meet, and the Court. But the Court decided that the Google claim was too far-fetched, because Google can be expected, warn all possible dangers, just because they provide a service to the public. Rosenberg suggested that Google should warn all potential risks, wrote including "negligent driver, drunk drivers, dangerous animals, sidewalks or roads in dilapidated, there may be lack of lighting, and other risks and other risks which only during certain times of the day," the Court.
Goldman seems agree also comments with the Court logic here, but he that would the decision probably otherwise be paid, if they GPS providers that are treated in the General Service and work on more 1: 1-based. It will be interesting to see if we find additional violations against Google or certain GPS provider you see. So for the meantime always take extra precautions while navigating streets, i.e. all road signs, under an additional second to ensure that no cars come before crossing the street, and take all appropriate safety equipment to obey.

Georgia personal injury lawsuits: the importance of civil liability
Keep many heavy car accident victims Georgia bring a personal injury lawsuit but are unsure of all available potential defendants.
If you have a experienced Georgia personal injury lawyer on your side who can be lawyer, that you the circumstances of your case to investigate and determine the may or may not in the fault. Sometimes there are additional parties, including insurance companies, which might be liable are obviously not for someone who is trained in the law. The personal injury attorneys can then your claim or complaint to all viable accused call structure.

Employees without resources caused injuries co-worker: the victim can may be an infringement lawsuit against an employer for negligent rent or hold back fahrlässige bring. Drunk driver without insurance: can the owner of a bar "Dram Shop" face liability if they knowingly one obviously intoxicated served patrons. Hit and run victim: If the liable drivers who flees the scene of the accident, you may be on a third, perhaps, a public sector body will continue, if contributed the track to your car accident or a claim against your own insurance cover uninsured drivers to bring.Each attorney of files a lawsuit against several parties should have a legal theory of liability against each defendant. Any theory with as much factual evidence will be as developed pleaded. A defense strategy, often with the defendant's lawyer is the "empty chair defense". If several parties involved in a car accident but only one of these parties were named as a defendant is then the defendant often to show the finger to the missing third party. The defendant's lawyer have experts to support this defence and explain why the missing third blame for the accident. Then the lawyer used a large closing argument to the jury in fact saying how sad they are, that you are injured, but the lawyer client is not responsible for your injuries. The Attorney will then show you to an empty chair and say that the responsible party in the empty seat to sit should. This defense can be very effective, as it questions the jury concerns regarding, which really caused your injuries.
