• Suit Against Didlake, Inc Heading to Supreme Court--Charitable Immunity Challenged

  A mentally and physically disabled Northern Virginia man is appealing to the Virginia Supreme Court a Prince William County judge's decision to dismiss his personal-injury case against Didlake, Inc.

• Kid Gets Drunk, Gets Hurt, Then Sues--Another Stupid Lawsuit

  Its amazing what folks can get away with in some states. In Illinois, a kid snuck beer into a house, got drunk with some friends, then got into a car with one of those friends. Predictably, the friend crashed. The kid was paralyzed (which IS horrible) but he sued the lady who owned the home, contending that she should have known he snuck beer in, got drunk and left with his drunk friend. You won't believe how this turned out.

• $1.6 Million Dollar Settlement

  On May 1, 2006, the plaintiff was operating a Roll-Off truck and entered Lorton landfill to dispose of the load of construction debris in his truck.  Upon entereing the landfill, he was directed by a Lorton employee to a specific location to park and unload his waste.  At the same time that the Plaintiff was about to unload his debris, a Kenworth demolition tractor trailer operated by Bradley Breeden, an employee of Seneca, was also preparing to unload.  Breeden was directed by Weldon Cox, an employee of Lorton as to where to park and unload.  While the Seneca tractor trailer bed was elevated at its highest point, the debris became stuck and unable to flow out of the tail end.  The tractor trailer became top-heavy and tipped over directly onto the cab of Plaintiff's vehicle where the Plaintiff was seated.

  Congratulations to David Marks on the settlement.
