Posted on June 6th, 2011 No Comments

A jury in California returned a $35 million verdict in a lawsuit filed by a police officer who was paralyzed in a car accident in 2007.

According to court documents, California Highway Patrol officer Anthony Pedeferri was left paralyzed after he was struck by a car on Highway 101 near Faria Beach, California. The vehicle was driven by Jeremy White, of Paso Robles, who was sentenced to 15 years in prison in 2008 for his role in the accident.

Pedeferri filed a civil lawsuit against White and the owners of Bert’s Mega Mall in Covina, from where White was returning from at the time of the accident. Employees of Bert’s strapped two motorcycles into White’s truck prior to the accident.

Ohio State to Pay $1M Settlement in Fatal Elevator Accident Lawsuit

Posted on April 15th, 2011 No Comments

Ohio State University has agreed to pay $1 million to settle a lawsuit brought by the family of a student who was crushed by a residence-hall elevator more than four years ago.

According to court documents, Andy Polakowski died on October 20, 2006, when he was crushed as he was trying to step off an elevator in Ohio State’s Stradley Hall. As Polakowski exited the elevator, the lift suddenly descended from the third floor with its doors open. His body was wedged between the ceiling of the elevator and the floor of the third-floor lobby.

Andy’s parents, Janina and Kazimierz Polakowski, filed a lawsuit in the Ohio Court of Claims alleging the school was negligent in maintaining, inspecting, repairing, and operating the elevator. The Ohio Department of Commerce inspected the Stradley elevator after Polakowski’s death and concluded that the elevator’s main brake had failed.

The University agreed to pay $1,000,000 to settle the wrongful death lawsuit. The school countersued five companies as third-party defendants.
