Representative and Significant Verdicts, Judgments and Settlements:
Premises Liability/Public Entity (Negligence) Plaintiff was a grade school student in a county school district injured on school premises when he was hit by a falling window pane knocked from its moorings by a ball kicked on the school playground. Defendants were the School and School District. Plaintiff, through his parents, claimed “traumatic brain injury” rejecting numerous settlement offers and proceeding to trial. Plaintiff’s experts testified that he suffered from “biochemical changes at the cytoskeletal level,” a then new theory of brain damage that was discredited during trial. After a three week trial and lengthy competing damages expert testimony, the jury found both the School District and the School not liable.
Premises Liability/Public Entity (Negligence, Failure to Warn, Inadequate Security) Plaintiffs were patrons of the Alameda County Fair on July 4, 1998 when a gang gun battle broke out between rival gang members on the midway resulting in serious gunshot and stampeding injuries to multiple Fair patrons. The firm represented the County and its Sheriff’s Department and the County Fair Association, winning summary judgment for its clients on the grounds of various immunities and an absence of duty to warn of criminal conduct. The case was appealed and the appellate court ruled in favor of all of our clients, upholding the summary judgment.
