  • If the same client retains you to sue over a car accident and, later, a plane accident, and you claim in the second suit that the client's injuries were caused solely by the plane accident, and your client testifies in deposition for the plane case that she had no contact with you beforehand, you could be in trouble.
  • Liability caps strike again, this time in Pennsylvania. Fill in my usual angst-ridden commentary.

The injury occurred during a Segway demonstration of its product, during which the man rode through an obstacle course blindfolded and without a helmet. These Segways are crazy cool and crazy unsafe.

Speaking of blogging, with Christmas approaching this could be one of my last blog posts of 2011. Google Analytics tells me there are a decent number of people reading this blog on a regular basis. If you are one of those people, I appreciate your stopping by to hear what I have to say. Hopefully, it helped you in your practice or you found it interesting. I'm hoping to put out an even better blog for you in 2012.
