Def's Interrog Pros And Cons

To state a claim for NIED, a plaintiff must show that: (1) he was located near the scene of the accident; (2) he sensorily and contemporaneously observed the accident; and (3) he and the victim are closely related. Sinn v. Burd, 404 A.2d 672, at 685 (Pa. 1979). There can be little dispute that Arnett was near the scene of the accident. However, whether Arnett sensorily and contemporaneously observed the incident and whether Nolan and Arnett are closely related are in question. This memorandum will address all three

The issue in this case as it relates to the Kentucky tort of negligence is governed by rules or principles established by the courts. The elements of negligence are a duty the defendant owes to the plaintiff, a breach of that duty by the defendant, a causal connection between the breach and the plaintiff's injury, and actual injury. In the absence of any one of these elements, no cause of action for negligence will lie.

Mr. Foster is student at Jacksonville State University. 2014 was his second year at Jacksonville, and he was taking a year off from studies to work and save money. Mr. Foster had gone home to Georgia for Christmas, but was returning to Jacksonville to pick up some Christmas gifts he had left at his apartment. He had stopped at Walmart in Jacksonville and was headed to his apartment in the late afternoon. He thinks he may have dosed off at the wheel he rounded a curve off of the town square, and “next thing I know” the traffic light was red and his vehicle struck the vehicle of the plaintiff. Mr. Foster concedes running a red light, but says it was raining and the asphalt was slick.

The plaintiff accompanied his son and son’s friend and knowing the fact that the driver (McNeilly) is inexperienced so he drove himself where the road was hilly and difficult while he allowed both the defendant and his son occasionally for some drive spells when it was clear two lane track with no obvious corrugations.

In Pennsylvania, a plaintiff claiming negligent infliction of emotional distress must establish one of these four situations: “1) that the defendant had a contractual or fiduciary duty; 2) plaintiff suffered a physical impact; 3) plaintiff was in a “zone of danger” and at risk of an immediate physical injury; or 4) plaintiff had a contemporaneous perception of tortious injury to a close relative.” Doe v. Phila. Cmty. Health Alternatives AIDS Task Force, 754 A.2d 25, 27 (Pa. Super. Ct. 2000). The first element does not apply to our client because there was no fiduciary or contractual duty relationship. Secondly, it could be argued that Nordlund suffered a physical impact because after Sumner’s accident, Nordlund could not eat, could not

In the case of Nalwa v. Cedar Fair, the plaintiff fractured her wrist while riding in a Rue le Dodge bumper car at an amusement park in California. The plaintiff filed a case of negligence against the defendant. To prove negligence, the plaintiff will have to establish all of the following requirements: (1) duty of due care, breach of duty, causation, and injury. The defendant had the Rue le Dodge ride inspected yearly by state safety regulators and daily by the park’s maintenance staff. This means they filled their duty of maintaining the ride, breach of duty than does not apply or causation, but there was injury.

In the case, Ryan v. Friesenhahn, the plaintiffs are Sandra and Stephen Ryan who are suing the defendants, Nancy and Frederick Friesenhahn. Nancy and Frederick’s son, Todd Friesenhahn, provided an “open invitation” to a party hosted at the Friesenhahn’s household that included a “bring your own bottle” invitation. Sandra and Stephen Ryan’s daughter, Sabrina, was in attendance at the Friesenhahn’s residence during the “open invitation” party. During the time that Sabrina was at the household, she became intoxicated. Sabrina Ryan operated a motor vehicle upon leaving the Friesenhahn’s property intoxicated and was then involved in a fatal accident.

Enroute, Dispatch advised me the vehicles may be blocking the eastbound lanes of travel. I arrived and found a sedan had run into the back of a truck & trailer. I exited my squad and learned there were no injuries. I then learned the sedan driver was Ryan Burnos & the truck & trailer owner was Keith Lapinoja. It should be known the Keith was not in the truck at the time of impact as he was snow plowing on Floral Dr. nearby and parked the truck & trailer on Co Rd 18.

Plaintiff further asserts that the Defendant breached its duty of care to her by: (1) “failing to fix a hazardous condition within a reasonable time;” (2) “failing to adequately warn plaintiff of a hazardous condition;” and (3) “otherwise failing to exercise reasonable and due care under the circumstances.” The Plaintiff is seeking compensatory damages in the amount of two hundred thousand dollars, plus interest and costs.

The decision was made to leave the victim’s vehicle at the residence Ms. Collins did not have any issues with the vehicle remaining on the property. I then made contact with Kim Holmes the mother of the victim. I turned the victim’s property over Kim Holmes at approximately 4:30 p.m. I also advised Kim Holmes on what was going to take place. After explaining everything to Kim Holmes I provided her with my business card and a card for vital statistics.

On 5/4/2017 at approximately 1843 hours I observed a silver 2006 Pontiac G6 traveling Eastbound on Highway 90 near Ladnier Road, with out a driver side tail light. I initiated a traffic stop with that vehicle on HIghway 90 near Ladnier Road. I approached the driver side window of the vehicle and made contact with Wiley Johnson. I asked Johnson for his drivers licenses and proof of insurance. Johnson stated he did not have a valid drivers licenses or liability insurance.

I reviewed all of the evidence provided by the Applicant and the Respondent. In the Applicant driver’s recorded statement she is not sure how the Respondent vehicle and the Applicant vehicle came to be in the accident. “It happened so darn quick.” She also mentions that that the police officer told both of them that they should not have moved their vehicles before the police arrived and since they did the police were unable to determine who was at fault. The police report notes that the vehicles were moved prior to police arrival and due to conflicting statements the police were unable to determine fault. The police narrative is more trustworthy than the diagram. Based on the police narrative there is no indication that the officer intended to draw a diagram that showed the Respondent vehicle in the Applicant’s lane. The Applicant contends that the point of impact shows that the Applicant vehicle was on the correct side of the roadway. The point of impact does not prove where the Applicant vehicle was in the roadway.

On Saturday, November 25, 2017 at 0139 hours, I, Deputy Waldschmidt was driving through the Kansas Star Casino parking lot when I observed a unoccupied 2004 Gold Chevy Impala’s (KS 400JZT/VIN # 2G1WF52E649197193) front bumper up against an unoccupied 2012 white Jeep Liberty (KS 3159/VIN # 1C4PJMAK7CW155651) driver’s side doors. It appeared the Impala rolled into the Jeep. I contacted Officer Boone with the Mulvane Police Department who later arrived on scene. She worked the private property accident while I stood-by to assist. The owners of both vehicles were located and Boone collected their personal information.

He was served with two uniform traffic tickets directing him to appear at a Town Justice Court. One ticket charged him with the misdemeanor of driving while intoxicated (DUI), and the other charged him with failing to keep to the right of the median. When Corbin pleaded guilty to the traffic tickets in the Town Justice Court, the presiding judge was not informed of the fatality or of a pending homicide investigation. Subsequently, a grand jury indicted Corbin, charging him with reckless manslaughter, criminally negligent homicide, and third-degree reckless assault. A bill of particulars identified the three reckless or negligent acts on which the prosecution would rely to prove the charges: (1) operating a motor vehicle on a public highway in an intoxicated condition; (2) failing to keep right of the median; and (3) driving at a speed too fast for the weather and road conditions. Corbin 's motion to dismiss the indictment on, inter alia, constitutional double jeopardy grounds was denied by the county court. Corbin then sought a writ of prohibition barring prosecution, which was denied by the Appellate Division. The State Court of Appeals reversed the decision, finding that the State’s intention to rely on prior traffic offenses as the acts necessary to prove the homicide and assault charges. The second prosecution would be barred if the prosecution sought to establish an essential element of the second crime by proving the conduct for

The defendant church sold meals after the religious services and argued that the plaintiff was a licensee, not an invitee. The plaintiff had alleged that she was an invitee because the plaintiff bought a meal after the service at the church cafe. Plaintiff also alleged that because she had spent money at the church on prior occasions she was an invitee. The court rejected the argument and reasoned that the prior financial dealing with the church would have no bearing on her status at the time of the accident. The court held that the plaintiff was a licensee. Sanders, 303 Mich.App. at 7, 840 N.W.2d at
