Court Determines that Land Surveyors Are Considered “Professionals” for Negligence Claims
A man filed a negligence case against a land surveyor after he tripped and fell on a stake while on his own land. The stake had been placed there by a surveyor while he was performing a survey of the land. When the surveyor had surveyed the land, he marked the boundary of the property with wooden stakes tied with ribbons, which were driven into the ground. They were surrounded by grass but still visible. Shortly after the completion of the survey, the landowner was unloading some equipment into a storage building when he tripped on one of the survey stakes. He seriously injured his hip and then sued the land surveyor for negligence. An appellate court recently issued an opinion in the case.

Defendant Allowed to Reopen Case After Filing Response Seven Months Late
In a recent case decided by a state appellate court, a husband and wife were injured in a car accident with another motorist. After the accident, they filed suit against the motorist for their physical injuries, mental suffering, lost wages, and lost employment. However, the motorist failed to defend or respond to the lawsuit. As a result, after four months had passed, the couple filed an application for an entry of default against the motorist, and the clerk of the court entered a default judgment against him. Seven months after the complaint was filed, the motorist responded by filing a motion to set aside the default judgment. The court denied his motion to set aside the entry of default and entered a default judgment in favor of the couple for over $3 million.

Dangerous and Defective Strollers Injure Thousands of Children Every Year
Attorney Ken Moll of Moll Law Group pointed out that many of the injuries are caused by products that have been recalled in the past or that will be recalled in the future. He explained that over the years, safety standards have improved. However, many of these old products are still being sold. For example, many products are sold online that cannot be sold in stores because they do not meet updated safety guidelines, he explained.
