In 2012, Richard Metcalf Jr. died while in custody at the Erie County Holding Center in New York. His father, Richard Metcalf Sr., filed a lawsuit alleging that the county and several deputies were responsible for his son's death. The case centered on claims of excessive force and inadequate medical care. In April 2024, a jury found Erie County and five deputies liable, awarding at least $95 million in damages to the plaintiff.

() The Appellate Division of the New York Supreme Court had previously dismissed certain claims against the county, stating that the duty to supervise and train deputies rested with the Sheriff, not the county.

In the case of Powell v. Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA), the plaintiff, Christine S. Powell, alleged employment discrimination under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. She claimed that WMATA denied her promotions in January 1999 based on her race and gender. To establish a prima facie case of discrimination, Powell needed to demonstrate that she was a member of a protected class, qualified for the promotions, and that the denial occurred under circumstances giving rise to an inference of discrimination. The court found that Powell failed to provide sufficient evidence to meet these criteria. Specifically, there was no objective evidence showing that the denial was due to discrimination, and the employer's subsequent promotions of Powell undermined her claims. Consequently, the court granted summary judgment in favor of WMATA, dismissing Powell's discrimination claims. ()

After deliberations, the jury found Walker Engineering 65% liable and Walker Industrial 35% liable. Under Texas law, this made Walker Engineering responsible for the entire award.

"Kasnecovic v. Lamm" is a legal case involving Besime Kanacevic, a native of Montenegro, who sought political asylum in the United States. In 1999, at 17, she entered the U.S. using a fraudulent Slovenian passport and claimed she intended to marry Brahim Cekoviq, a Yugoslavian with a green card. Two years later, she applied for asylum, alleging harassment by Serbian soldiers due to her Albanian ethnicity and fearing further persecution if returned to Montenegro. During her asylum hearing, Kanacevic testified about incidents during the Kosovo war, including Serbian soldiers taking her father and others to the police station, where her father was beaten and told to send the Kosovars away. She also recounted being told by Serbian police that all Muslim girls had to die, leading her to hide for about two months. The Immigration Judge (IJ) found her asylum application untimely and questioned her credibility, noting inconsistencies in her testimony regarding her nationality and the timing of her birth certificate submission. Consequently, the IJ denied her application for asylum, withholding of removal, and relief under the Convention Against Torture. The Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) summarily affirmed the IJ's decision without opinion. Kanacevic appealed to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, which upheld the IJ's adverse credibility determination and denied her petition for review. ()

In the case of **Gomez-Martinez v. New York City Transit Authority**, the plaintiff, Gomez-Martinez, filed a lawsuit seeking damages for personal injuries sustained in an accident involving a bus operated by the New York City Transit Authority (NYCTA). The incident occurred when the bus, driven by Khalid M. Fadlalla, allegedly struck Gomez-Martinez, causing significant injuries. The plaintiff contended that the bus was operating too closely behind him, leading to the collision. In response, the NYCTA and its associated entities filed motions to preclude certain evidence and to dismiss the case. They sought to exclude references to a traffic ticket issued to Mr. Nube, a few days after the accident, for allegedly opening the door of his parked vehicle into traffic. Additionally, the NYCTA defendants aimed to prevent the plaintiff from introducing evidence of NYCTA's internal procedures that were more stringent than the legal requirements and from eliciting opinions of law from any witness or expert. The court addressed these motions, ultimately granting the NYCTA defendants' request to preclude the plaintiff from introducing evidence regarding NYCTA's internal procedures that exceeded the standard legal duty. However, the court denied the motion to exclude the testimony of the plaintiff's accident reconstruction expert, Mr. Gambardella, finding that his opinions were based on established methodologies and relevant data. The court also denied the plaintiff's motion to unify the trial, determining that the nature of the injuries did not significantly impact the liability issues at hand. This case highlights the complexities involved in personal injury lawsuits against public entities like the NYCTA, particularly concerning the admissibility of evidence and the application of internal procedures beyond standard legal obligations.

In 1971, Melvin Heston, a railroad brakeman, sustained injuries after falling from a boxcar while working for the Chicago and North Western Railway Company. He filed a lawsuit under the Federal Employers' Liability Act (FELA). During a pre-trial conference on November 16, 1971, both parties agreed to a $25,000 settlement, which Heston accepted in the presence of his attorneys and a magistrate. However, after the defendant sent the necessary releases for Heston to sign, he refused to execute them. The defendant then filed a motion for summary judgment, asserting that the case had been settled. Heston contended that the settlement was invalid due to a mutual mistake of fact regarding his medical condition at the time of the settlement. The court held that the oral settlement was valid and enforceable, granting summary judgment in favor of the defendant. The court reasoned that both parties were aware of the permanent nature of Heston's injuries at the time of the settlement, and any alleged mistake was related to the future effects of known injuries, which did not affect the validity of the agreement.

In October 2018, Franklin Joe Fields suffered severe injuries when his vaping device, containing Samsung 18650 lithium-ion batteries, exploded in his pocket. He filed a lawsuit against Samsung, the battery manufacturer, and other parties involved in the device's production and sale. Samsung sought to dismiss the case, arguing that the Florida court lacked personal jurisdiction over them. The trial court denied this motion, but the First District Court of Appeal of Florida reversed the decision. The appellate court found that Samsung's business activities in Florida, such as supplying large-scale energy storage systems to utility companies, were unrelated to the small batteries used in the vaping device. Additionally, there was no evidence that Samsung had committed a tortious act within Florida, as the injury occurred in Florida but was not directly linked to Samsung's actions in the state. Therefore, the court concluded that it lacked personal jurisdiction over Samsung in this case. ()

In the case of *Irimi v. R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co.*, the family of Dale Moyer sued R.J. Reynolds, alleging that the company's actions led to Moyer's death from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and parotid cancer. Moyer had been a long-time smoker of Reynolds' cigarettes.

In the case of *Carlos v. Chavez*, filed on July 18, 2025, Rogelio Carlos, III sued Carlos Chavez, Virgilio Gonzalez, and others, including the City of San Antonio and its police department. Carlos alleged that he became paralyzed due to complications from neck injuries sustained during an arrest by the San Antonio Police Department on May 20, 2014. The paralysis did not occur until November 3, 2015, after he underwent surgery to address his neck injuries. The Carloses claimed that the actions of the neuromonitoring defendants, which included failing to monitor significant neurological changes during the surgery, contributed to his paralysis. The court allowed the Carloses to join the neuromonitoring defendants based on new evidence indicating their potential negligence. The neuromonitoring defendants filed motions to dismiss the state-law claims against them, arguing a lack of subject-matter jurisdiction. The court determined that the state-law negligence claims were sufficiently related to the federal claims under § 1983, as they arose from the same core factual issue concerning Mr. Carlos's paralysis. The court emphasized that the federal and state claims derived from a common nucleus of operative fact, specifically the circumstances surrounding Mr. Carlos's paralysis. The court found no compelling reasons to decline the exercise of supplemental jurisdiction, as the state-law claims did not raise novel issues and were straightforward in nature. Additionally, the court noted that judicial economy and convenience favored hearing both claims together. Thus, the motions to dismiss for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction were denied. ()

In the 2004 case of *Cabrera v. Herbert*, John Cabrera, representing himself, filed a federal habeas corpus petition challenging his 1997 conviction for selling illegal narcotics, including marijuana and cocaine, to an undercover state trooper. The transactions occurred in May 1996, with evidence indicating that while the marijuana tested positive, the cocaine tested negative. Cabrera appealed, claiming he was denied meaningful access to the courts due to inadequate access to legal materials. The Appellate Division affirmed his conviction in 1999, and the New York Court of Appeals denied his request to appeal further. Subsequently, Cabrera sought federal habeas relief in 2000, arguing that he was denied meaningful access to the courts during his trial. The United States District Court for the Western District of New York denied Cabrera's habeas petition, reasoning that he failed to demonstrate actual harm resulting from the alleged denial of access to legal resources. The court emphasized that Cabrera had the ability to represent himself and had access to standby counsel for assistance. The Appellate Division had previously found that the trial court provided reasonable alternatives to ensure meaningful access to the courts, which was consistent with Supreme Court precedent. The court also noted that the mere lack of a law library does not constitute a violation of constitutional rights if the inmate can seek legal redress through other means. Consequently, the Appellate Division's determination was not contrary to federal law or unreasonably applied, leading to the court's denial of Cabrera's habeas petition. ()

In the case of Wilmot v. State of California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), Ronald Wilmot, a former firefighter, was convicted of embezzling public funds between 2000 and 2012. After his retirement in December 2012, the Public Employees' Pension Reform Act (PEPRA) took effect on January 1, 2013, introducing a statute (section 7522.72) that mandates the forfeiture of pension benefits for public employees convicted of job-related felonies. Wilmot challenged the application of this statute to his case, arguing that it violated the ex post facto clause and impaired his contractual rights. The court ruled that the statute applied to Wilmot, affirming that the forfeiture was a civil remedy, not a punitive measure, and did not violate constitutional protections. This decision aligns with previous rulings upholding the constitutionality of PEPRA's felony forfeiture provisions. ()

In the case of *Jane Doe and John Doe, Individually, and as Next Friends of Jane Doe 2, a Minor, Plaintiffs, v. Beaumont Independent School District (BISD)*, the plaintiffs alleged that BISD had a "pass the trash" policy. This policy was said to allow teachers accused of sexual misconduct to be transferred between schools without proper discipline, thereby enabling further abuse. The plaintiffs claimed that this practice led to their victimization by a former substitute teacher, Brandon Chillow, who engaged in inappropriate behavior, including sending inappropriate messages and ultimately raping one of the plaintiffs. They filed a lawsuit under the Civil Rights Act of 1871, alleging violations of their rights to personal safety and security, as well as Title IX claims against BISD. The court found that the plaintiffs had sufficiently alleged that BISD's policy discriminated against female students and created an environment conducive to sexual abuse. Consequently, the court denied BISD's motions to dismiss, allowing the case to proceed. ()

The hotel argued that it had no duty to protect Arnold from this unexpected attack. The court agreed with the hotel, stating that Rhode Island law does not impose a duty on businesses to protect individuals from the criminal acts of unrelated third parties unless there is strong evidence of foreseeability.

In the case of **Mejia v. Wawanesa General Insurance Company**, the plaintiffs, Hovik Gharibian and Caroline Minasian, held a homeowner's insurance policy with Wawanesa covering "direct physical loss to property." In October 2019, a wildfire burned approximately half a mile from their Granada Hills home. Although their property did not sustain burn damage, debris from the fire entered their home and swimming pool, and a smoke odor lingered for several months. The plaintiffs filed a claim with Wawanesa, which arranged for an inspection and cleaning estimate. However, the plaintiffs did not proceed with the recommended cleaning services. Dissatisfied with the claim's resolution, they sued Wawanesa for breach of contract and breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. The trial court granted Wawanesa's motion for summary judgment, determining that the plaintiffs' insurance policy did not cover the claimed loss. The California Court of Appeal affirmed this decision, stating that the plaintiffs failed to demonstrate a "direct physical loss to property" as required by their insurance policy. The court referenced the California Supreme Court's decision in *Another Planet Entertainment, LLC v. Vigilant Ins. Co.*, which clarified that "direct physical loss" necessitates a distinct, demonstrable, physical alteration to property. Since the wildfire debris could be easily cleaned or removed and did not cause such an alteration, the court concluded that Wawanesa did not breach the insurance policy. ()

Specifically, she claimed that HCAT submitted 21,844 false claims between 2015 and 2021, resulting in overpayments totaling approximately $2.75 million. These fraudulent activities included billing for services provided by uncredentialed or unlicensed providers, splitting bills to conceal the identities of treating providers, and charging inflated rates for services. () A federal jury in Dallas found HCAT liable under the False Claims Act, leading to potential penalties exceeding $300 million. However, in February 2025, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas determined that the statutory penalties were unconstitutionally excessive. Consequently, the court reduced the penalties to $16.5 million, comprising treble damages and civil penalties.

In the case of Brungart v. BellSouth Telecommunications, Inc., Robin Amaro Brungart, a service representative at BellSouth, applied for Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) leave in December 1996 to care for her mother following emergency heart surgery. BellSouth denied her request, citing her ineligibility due to insufficient hours worked. Brungart continued to face attendance issues, failing to meet the company's adherence percentage requirements, leading to warnings and suspensions. In July 1997, she applied for FMLA leave for knee surgery, which was approved to begin on July 10, 1997. However, on July 9, 1997, she was terminated for not meeting adherence standards. Brungart alleged that her termination was retaliatory for requesting FMLA leave. The court ruled that there was no evidence the decision-maker was aware of her FMLA request at the time of termination, and thus, no causal connection was established. The court also invalidated a Department of Labor regulation that would have extended FMLA eligibility to employees not promptly notified of ineligibility. ()

Allen argued that these denials violated his due process rights and lacked sufficient justification. The court dismissed his petition, stating that Allen had no constitutional right to parole under the D.C. parole statute. It emphasized that the Parole Commission has the discretion to grant or deny parole and that its decisions are generally not subject to detailed judicial review unless they exceed legal authority or are unconstitutional. The court found that the Commission's denials were based on Allen's conduct, lack of remorse, and the severity of his crime, which involved exceptional cruelty. Although Allen completed certain programs, the Commission determined he needed additional programming to address the underlying causes of his criminal behavior. Therefore, the court concluded that the Commission's decisions were supported by the evidence presented during the hearings. ()

In August 2022, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) filed a lawsuit against SkyWest Airlines, alleging that the company subjected Sarah Budd, a female parts clerk, to a sexually hostile work environment. Budd reported that coworkers and at least one manager made crude sexual comments, including suggestions she engage in sex work, and frequently joked about rape. Despite her complaints, SkyWest failed to take effective action, leading Budd to resign after being placed on indefinite administrative leave. () In November 2024, a federal jury awarded Budd $2 million in punitive damages and $170,000 for emotional distress, marking the largest jury trial award obtained by the EEOC in the Northern District of Texas. However, the court reduced the total award to $300,000 to comply with Title VII's statutory caps on damages. () The court also ordered SkyWest to implement a three-year term of injunctive relief, including creating and distributing a protocol for investigating harassment complaints, conducting annual training for employees, and posting a notice about Title VII protections. () SkyWest contested the verdict and sought a new trial, but the court upheld the jury's decision, emphasizing the severity of the harassment and the company's inadequate response. ()

In May 2016, Wendy Beer tripped and fell in the women's locker room at an Equinox gym in New York City. She alleged that her foot became entangled in a hair blower's electrical cord hanging beneath a sink countertop, creating a hazardous condition. Beer filed a lawsuit against Equinox Holdings, Inc., Equinox Columbus Circle, and Equinox Columbus Centre Inc., claiming negligence in the gym's design and maintenance. The defendants sought to exclude the testimony of Beer’s expert engineer, Dr. James Pugh, arguing that his opinions were unnecessary for the jury to determine liability. The court ruled that Dr. Pugh could testify about how the hanging cord posed a hazard but could not offer opinions on the overall safety of the locker room or whether the defendants exercised reasonable care. The case proceeded to trial, where a jury found the defendants 51% at fault and Beer 49% at fault, awarding Beer $2,106,435 in damages. (, )

In the case of *Chapa v. C.S. Stucco & Plaster*, Andres Javier Lazo Chapa filed a personal injury lawsuit after falling from a ladder while working at a job site owned by Bayles Properties, Inc. The defendants, Bayles and Ressa Management, LLC, sought indemnification from C.S. Stucco & Plaster, alleging that the company was responsible for the accident. The Supreme Court of Nassau County granted summary judgment in favor of Bayles and Ressa for contractual indemnification but denied their request for common-law indemnification. The court found that Bayles and Ressa had demonstrated that the indemnification agreement applied retroactively to the entire project and that they were free from active negligence. However, the court determined that there were unresolved issues of fact regarding whether C.S. Stucco was negligent or had supervised the work that led to Chapa's injuries, making common-law indemnification inappropriate. ()

"Acosta v. Healy" is a legal case involving Jorge Madroza-Acosta and Pedro Delgado, who challenged the legality of a traffic stop conducted by Officer Sean Healy of the New Mexico State Police. The stop was initiated based on a tip from Gary Burns, a retired military member, who observed a suspicious white van at a convenience store and suspected it was transporting undocumented immigrants. Burns reported the van's behavior to the police, leading Officer Healy to stop the vehicle. The defendants argued that the stop lacked reasonable suspicion under the Fourth Amendment. The court granted the motion to suppress the evidence obtained during the stop, concluding that the government failed to prove reasonable suspicion existed. The court emphasized that law enforcement must have specific and articulable facts to justify an investigative stop of a vehicle. ()

Mejia filed a lawsuit alleging violations of New York's Labor Law and common law negligence. The court had previously granted partial summary judgment, determining that Japan Society violated Labor Law § 240(1), which mandates safety measures for workers at elevated sites. During the trial, the jury awarded damages for pain and suffering. Mejia argued that this award was insufficient and sought an increase. Japan Society contended that the jury's verdict was adequate and moved to set it aside, claiming that the court erred by allowing the jury to review MRI films without accompanying testimony. The court denied Japan Society's motion and granted Mejia's request, increasing the pain and suffering damages, finding that the jury's original award was inadequate. ()

In the case of **Estate of Kilgus v.

The plaintiffs owned property in a development where the previous owner had agreed to handle garbage collection privately, and the Town was prohibited from providing these services. Despite this, the Town continued to levy a garbage collection tax on the properties. The Court ruled that since the property owners did not benefit from the Town's garbage collection services, the Town could not impose the tax. This decision aligns with prior cases where towns were not permitted to charge for services not rendered to the property owners. ()

In February 2015, while attempting to repair an electric clothes dryer, Fernando inadvertently opened a valve on an unused gas line behind the dryer. This caused gas to escape, leading to an explosion that damaged the home and seriously injured Fernando. The Ramirezes sued CenterPoint, alleging negligence for failing to plug or seal the unused gas line. CenterPoint argued that a limitation of liability provision in its tariff, approved by state regulators, exempted it from liability for such damages. The Texas Supreme Court held that the limitation of liability in the tariff applied to the Ramirezes' claims, as they were considered consumers of CenterPoint's gas services during their visits. Therefore, CenterPoint was not liable for the injuries sustained by the Ramirezes. ()

The court agreed that the Hearing Officer did not adequately address this discrepancy and remitted the matter for a new hearing. However, the court upheld the charge of refusing a direct order, as Ramos had notice of this charge and substantial evidence supported it.

In the case of *Swanson v. Farmers Insurance Exchange*, the Colorado Court of Appeals addressed whether the insurance policy's liability limits applied separately to claims for loss of consortium and wrongful death. The insureds argued that, since both claims are separate and non-derivative under Colorado law, each should have its own coverage limit. However, the court concluded that the policy's language did not support this interpretation. It noted that the financial responsibility limits in Colorado are $25,000, not $100,000, and declined to extend coverage beyond what was clearly covered in the policy. Therefore, the insureds exhausted their coverage limit upon the insurer's payment of $100,000 to the injured sister and $100,000 to the estate of the deceased sister. ()

In January 2024, a St. Clair County jury awarded Dimitrios Zavradinos over $5 million after a misdiagnosed lumbar fracture led to permanent injuries requiring spinal fusion surgery. The incident occurred in June 2016 when Zavradinos, a 62-year-old forensic engineer, fell from a ladder. Dr. Michael Jennewein, a radiologist, misread the lumbar x-ray, failing to identify a compression fracture at L-4 and not recommending further imaging. This oversight resulted in Zavradinos returning to physically demanding work, exacerbating his injury. The fracture was later confirmed in an MRI in August 2016, leading to fusion surgery from L-3 to L-5. Despite the surgery, Zavradinos was unable to return to work and now uses a cane. The jury awarded $5,151,000 for loss of a normal life, pain and suffering, emotional distress, medical expenses, and lost earnings. Dr. Jennewein admitted the x-ray showed a fracture but argued the mistake was reasonable. The defense contended that Zavradinos' injuries were due to the negligence of other parties and that he failed to mitigate damages.

The court discussed the doctrine of qualified immunity, which protects government officials from liability unless they violate clearly established statutory or constitutional rights. These cases highlight various legal issues, including Fourth Amendment rights and qualified immunity.

Bachman filed a lawsuit against General Motors Corporation, Uftring Chevrolet-Oldsmobile, Inc., Delphi Automotive Systems, and Delco Electronic Systems. The plaintiffs alleged that Danielle's 1996 Chevrolet Cavalier's airbag deployed unexpectedly, causing a collision with an oncoming van.

In 1971, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit upheld the convictions of Cassaro, Inc. and its manager, Salvatore Cassaro, for violating the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. The bakery, located in Medford, Massachusetts, received flour shipped from Grand Forks, North Dakota, which became adulterated due to contamination by insects. The defendants argued they were not holding the flour for sale, as they sold bread and rolls, not flour. However, the court broadly interpreted the statute, stating that "food" includes components like flour used in baking. The court emphasized that the statute aimed to protect the integrity of products in interstate commerce to maintain consumer confidence. Consequently, the defendants were fined $2,000 and $500, respectively, and Salvatore Cassaro was placed on probation for two years.

In 2018, the family of Margaret F. filed a lawsuit against Meadowview Health and Rehab Center, alleging that the facility's neglect led to her death. Margaret, who had been residing at Meadowview since July 2012, suffered from Guillain-Barré syndrome, requiring a ventilator, catheter, and feeding tube.

"Lopez v. Kirakosyan, et al." is a legal case involving the applicant, Mr. Kirakosyan, who was detained in Armenia under conditions that violated his human rights. The European Court of Human Rights found that the detention facility was infested with pests, lacked natural light, had no sleeping facilities, and the toilet was in an unsanitary condition. Despite the relatively short duration of ten days, the Court determined that such conditions were incompatible with the requirements of Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights, which prohibits inhuman or degrading treatment. This case highlights the importance of humane detention conditions and the obligation of states to ensure that individuals are not subjected to degrading treatment, regardless of the length of their detention.

In the case of Froy v. Wessman, the U.S. Supreme Court addressed a dispute over land rights between a homesteader, Peter Froyseth, and the Hastings & Dakota Railway Company. Froyseth had settled on a tract of land in Minnesota in 1889, intending to claim it as a homestead. The railway company, under a federal land grant, attempted to select the same land in 1891 as indemnity for lands lost within its grant limits. The Supreme Court ruled that Froyseth's homestead rights took precedence over the railway company's claim, emphasizing that land occupied by a qualified entryman with intent to claim it as a homestead ceases to be public and subject to selection as lieu land.

In 2001, Ronald Hughes purchased a gasoline container from a Wal-Mart store in Monroe, Louisiana. While using it to burn tree stumps, the container unexpectedly ignited and exploded, causing severe injuries to his six-year-old daughter, Bridgette. The Hughes family initially filed a lawsuit in Louisiana but later refiled in Arkansas, where Wal-Mart is headquartered. They alleged that the container was defective due to the absence of a safety device. Wal-Mart sought summary judgment, arguing that Louisiana law applied, which would bar recovery against a distributor like Wal-Mart. The district court agreed, applying Arkansas's choice-of-law principles and determining that Louisiana law governed the case. The Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed this decision, emphasizing that Louisiana had significant contacts with the case, including the location of the accident and the residence of the plaintiffs. Therefore, the court concluded that Louisiana law applied, precluding the plaintiffs' claims against Wal-Mart. ()

"Brazeau v. Bedore" is a legal case involving a dispute over land ownership and the validity of land grants in Missouri. The case centers on a tract of land confirmed to Joseph Brazeau in 1810, which was later surveyed and patented in 1852. Brazeau's representatives refused to accept the patent, leading to a prolonged legal battle. The Supreme Court of Missouri addressed issues related to the authority of the Secretary of the Interior, the validity of the confirmation, and the rights of the parties involved. The court ultimately concluded that the confirmation to Brazeau was void due to lack of proper notice and that the confirmation to Labeaume was valid, as Labeaume had the necessary possession and survey to support his claim. The case highlights the complexities of land title disputes and the importance of proper documentation and authority in land grants.
