Guardianship
On September 18, 2019, French & Casey, LLP obtained a decision in Supreme Court, Nassau County, granting our petition to have our client appointed guardian for her adult daughter who suffered a brain injury following surgery, pursuant to Article 81 of New York’s Mental Hygiene Law. The guardianship hearing was contentious because both the attorney for the incapacitated person from Mental Hygiene Legal Services and the Court Evaluator argued that our client should not be appointed guardian or at the very least have a co-guardian appointed with our client. However, following the hearing, the Court agreed with our position and granted our petition in its entirety. Our client was appointed guardian of the personal needs and property management for her adult daughter, and she will now be able to bring a malpractice case against the doctors and hospital where her daughter had surgery and suffered the brain injury.

Manslaughter
Leticia Valle et.al. v. Brandon Colon and Kenneth Colon, The City of New York, Tower Painting Co. Inc., Long Island Cesspool Co., Inc., New York Supreme Court, Queens County, Justice Kevin Kerrigan. Result: Summary Judgment awarded to client, complaint dismissed. Facts: On March 28, 2006, shortly after 3:00 a.m., plaintiff-decedent was killed while standing on the South Outer Roadway of the Queensboro Bridge. On the night in question, the bridge was closed by a contractor represented by our firm. The closure was approved by the City of New York. At some point during the night, plaintiff-decedent and a friend made their way onto the bridge to take photographs of the New York City skyline. Tragically, a drunk driver drove through the lane closure striking and killing plaintiff-decedent. The driver, an off-duty police officer, was arrested and charged with vehicular manslaughter. At the close of discovery, our firm moved for summary judgment arguing that the lane closure was not the proximate cause of the accident and that the defendants had no duty to the plaintiff who snuck onto the bridge. Justice Kerrigan agreed and dismissed the complaint holding that the road closure was designed to protect vehicular traffic from a closed work area and also to protect workers on the bridge from vehicular traffic and were not pedestrian safety measures. Therefore, plaintiff was not within the intended or anticipated class of individuals for whose benefit the road closure procedures were put in place. He held that the unilateral and random decision to stroll onto the South Outer Roadway to take photographs because they saw that the roadway was closed to traffic, notwithstanding that their access to that area was clearly prohibited, did not expand defendants’ duty of care to include them.

Employment Contract
Pee Wee Molding Corp. v. Valentin, et. al., New Jersey Superior Court, Middlesex County—Judge Heidi Willis Currier. Result: Summary Judgment. In a decision dated October 16, 2013, Judge Currier granted our client's motion for summary judgment dismissing all claims and cross-claims against her. Plaintiff had alleged that the defendant breached her alleged employment contract by both failing to train her replacement and by either intentionally or negligently withholding information regarding the profitability of the company. The defendant was employed as a bookkeeper for the company for several years. Ultimately, the Court agreed with the defendant that she was an at-will employee not subject to any contractual terms of employment. Additionally, she did not enter into an oral employment agreement to guarantee the profitability of the company by virtue of her position as a bookkeeper. Therefore, summary judgment was granted and the defendant was dismissed from the case with prejudice. For more information, please contact Karen M. Mahon at kmahon@frenchcasey.com
