It’s always nice to report trial success. Joel S. Rosen, whose office is next to mine at the new Cohen, Placitella and Roth offices, had a significant win yesterday, in the Lehigh County Common Pleas court. This result was picked up by the Associated Press and reported in the Philadelphia papers. It wasn’t the typical negligence case:
Philadelphia Inquirer | 09/09/2006 | Woman injured by hunter’s stray bullet wins lawsuit
ALLENTOWN – A woman injured by a stray bullet when she was pregnant nearly two years ago has won a civil lawsuit she filed against the hunter who allegedly fired the shot. A Lehigh County jury yesterday decided that Casey Kantner, 20, deserves compensation for her injuries. Kantner was shot in the head and critically wounded on Nov. 20, 2004, as she sat in a car outside her home.
Without getting into some of the strategy we discussed during the week (since the case is ongoing), there’s some larger issues that arise from this case.
