Catskill Motorcycle Crash Lawsuit Ends in Settlement

Filed under: accident/injury News — Tags: — nupex @ 9:21 pm

New York City and state news again: A 54-year-old Livingston man received a $325,000 settlement from a Columbia County Supreme Court civil case involving a motor vehicle accident which caused him personal injury.
On Sept. 7, 2006 while riding his motorcycle on Route 23A in the town of Catskill, John Fingar suffered a fractured leg. Fingar reports being struck by the pickup truck driven by George Quinn after it had entered the lane Fingar was driving in.
The break was severe requiring metal hardware and wire to hold the bone fragments back together. By the way if you reside in New York City or nearby communities and you require a leading New York City personal injury attorney then may I suggest the firm of Geller and Siegal.
I consider to them to be some of the top-drawer personal injury attorney in New York City and you can see for yourself the strong testemonials on their website.
State Troopers contest the claim and believe that Finger crossed into Quinn’s lane of travel.
“Fortunately for Mr. Fingar, we had such strong eyewitness accounts of the (personal injury), that Trooper Palian’s misleading accident report could not overcome the fact that Quinn had been at fault for Mr. Fingar’s (personal) injury,” as reported by in a press release.
Three eyewitnesses involved in the case that maintain the same account how the accident and subsequent personal injury unfolded.
Obviously there was a skilled attorney on the job in this case because a settlement was reached before a jury was chosen for trial.

Woman Involved In Bombing Heads To Federal Court

Filed under: Legal News — Tags: , , , , — nupex @ 1:11 am

Rachelle Carlock allegedly was involved in the bombing at the San Diego Federal Courthouse in May and has not given a clear reason why. Her reasons have gone from “ I think it was put there to send a message” to “ I don’t know why I did it.” Along with blaming the other woman that has also been arrested and charged in the case, Ella Louise “Weezy” Sanders. It should be interesting to see what type of defense that her lawyer puts up in this case. I mean, what will she claim next, that it was all just an accident?

Other than the courthouse bombing the two along with the driver of the get away car Eric Robinson also bombed a FedEx facility in the vicinity of 47th Street and federal Boulevard in the Webster area in March. The first bombing they were allegedly involved in was at a hardware store owned by Barbara Pake. Pake contacted the San Diego Fire Rescue Department and spoke with a bomb-squad detective. She has commented that she believes it was two cans of paint that were nearly empty and filled with nails and bolts with a flaming rag. Pake put the fire out with a bucket of water. By the way if you live in San Diego and are in need of a quality San Diego car accident lawyer then might I recommed the Law Offices of Steve Recordon.

Charles “Chuckie” Taylor’s Trial starts For alleged Torture

Filed under: World news — Tags: — nupex @ 11:22 pm

I just returned back from San Francisco and I wanted to share this fascinating story from the International arena. It is good to be back home now:
The trial for Charles “Chuckie” Taylor the son of the former Liberian President under a 1994 United States law that allows the prosecution of U.S. citizens that are suspected of torture outside of the United States. His attorney has apparently been working on his case.

According to the prosecution the name “Chuckie” is one used while being the head of an anti-terrorist group in Liberia, the Demon Forces and one that brought fear to the people of Liberia. He is accused of having led this particular lovely group from 1999 through 2003 and is accused of horrid crimes against humanity like beheading an opponent with a knife, burning some of his victims with melted plastic and causing personal injury by cutting a victims penis prior to dumping him in a pit.
What a nice guy this is. He should have born into the Hussein family. Actually, from what I read about Charles Taylor Sr. this guy is a saint. I remember a video out during the Liberian rebellion of 1990 that apparently shows him forcing an enemy to eat his own ear. Like father, like son.

Taylor was born on the East Coast of the United States and raised in Orlando and whole he is on trial in Miami his father is being tried as a war criminal in the International Court of Justice in The Hague. The attorney representing Taylor stated that his client is innocent of these charges.
More details may be extracted from San Francisco Personal Injury Attorney news. There you can find a plethera of legal news and advice not just for San Francisco personal injury topics but legal headlines and resources overall. If you live in San Francisco and you require a top injury attorney I strongly recommend the Law Offices of Scott Righthand.
While the trail is underway there have been death treats against Charles Taylor Sr. and the 31 year old Charles “Chuckie” Taylor jr.’s trial is expected to last approximately 8 weeks. For the charges of conspiracy, torture and carrying a firearm during a violent crime. There is expected to be testimony from Liberian residents testifying on behalf of the prosecution.

Los Angeles Sheriff’s Deputy Arrested On Suspicion Of Attempted Murder

Filed under: Legal News — Tags: , , , , , — nupex @ 11:17 pm

A Los Angeles Sheriff’s deputy identified as deputy Robert McClain (age 34) allegedly assaulted his wife and a 23 year old male whose identity has not been released.

According to Lt. Rick Handfield of the Irvine Police Department they had received a call they responded to at an Irvine apartment complex where a man was bleeding and unconscious.

As police began to investigate the incident with the man that had been injured they found that a woman who was friends with the man had also driven herself to the hospital for treatment for injuries. By the way if you happen to reside in Los Angeles and you require a superlative Los Angeles criminal defense attorney then I highly recommend the Law Offices of Ramiro Luis. He is simply one of the leading Los Angeles criminal defense attorney working and can help you with a wide variety of different types of criminal related cases.

When detectives interviewed the woman is when they went to find the deputy and upon finding him they found he also had wounds that they believe were sustained during the time he allegedly attacked his wife and the hospitalized male. They also believe the attacks occurred between 10:30 p.m. Sunday and 7 a.m. Monday.

McClain is expected to be charged with several criminal charges including attempted murder, aggravated assault and domestic violence. For his sake he should have a qualified attorney.

The police are not releasing the name of the 23 year old man or the injuries he sustained during the attack other than to say that he was attacked with a sharp instrument. What could have caused this criminal activity? What is hi defense, jealousy perhaps? it should come out in due time in court, I would think.
