    Oil company ignores toxic chemical leak for weeks; exposes 6,000 local residents to dangerous compound that causes ongoing respiratory problems. Casper, Meadows, Schwartz & Cook helps victims recover $80 million.

    This class action case involved Unocal, a global oil and natural gas company with operations in Rodeo, California. Six thousand area residents were exposed to an odorless chemical compound leak over a 16-day period in 1994. Similar to a prolonged catacarb leak in 1994, Unocal management was fully aware of the dangerous problem and chose to ignore it in order to meet production schedules.

    The toxic exposure caused Plaintiffs serious medical problems, including asthma, chronic coughing, upper respiratory irritation, nausea, eye and skin irritation, and neurological problems such as memory loss. Many Plaintiffs suffer from lingering health problems.

    Casper, Meadows, Schwartz & Cook worked with various industry and medical experts to demonstrate the Defendant's liability and the Plaintiff's damages. The firm helped 600 Plaintiffs attain their share of an $80 million recovery.

    Elevator “repaired” with zip ties drops; leaves Bay Area woman permanently injured and unable to work. Casper, Meadows, Schwartz & Cook obtains $5.6 million verdict for victim.

    A Contra Costa jury awarded $5.6 million to a woman in Walnut Creek who was severely injured at the Gateway Centre in 2013 when an elevator that had been held together with zip ties broke and dropped while she was inside it. The victim, Amy Zapotoczny, who worked in the Gateway Centre building where the incident occurred, said “The elevator doors closed and it started moving and at some point I heard a metal scraping noise at the doors…. Then it went down and then dropped, and it stopped and it dropped again.”

    She suffered a torn labrum and two herniated discs as a result, and has also undergone 4 surgeries in attempts to repair the damage done and restore her previous functional capacity. She has been officially declared to be disabled.

    Zapotoczny, who was attending nursing school at the time, has since been forced to give up her education and future prospects as a nurse, as even the act of bending forward to read a book produces intense pain.

    Her attorney, Andrew Schwartz, says Zapotoczny “will never be able to work again” as a result of negligent maintenance by the building owner, Sierra Pacific Properties, and the Schindler Elevator Corporation.

    Our firm played a critical role in holding the negligent parties responsible for Zapotoczny’s injuries and losses. The jury ordered that Sierra Pacific pay 60% of the damages and allotted the other 40% to Schindler Elevator Corporation.

    Casper, Meadows, Schwartz & Cook helped the Family of firefighter Scott Desmond recover a $4.6 million settlement in wrongful death suit.

    The family of a Contra Costa Fire District engineer who was one of four killed in a 2007 San Pablo house fire received a $4.6 million civil settlement by two private alarm companies, attorneys in the wrongful-death lawsuit said Tuesday.

    "Scott Desmond was a hero and he died doing his job, attempting to save lives, so I'm not happy with the resolution only because you can never be happy in situations like this," said Andrew Schwartz, attorney for Desmond's widow, Carolyn, and son, Tyler. "It's a fair settlement under the circumstances."

    There was about a 10-minute delay between the time Gayle Moore notified a Pinnacle employee through an intercom that there was an active fire in the house and the time the first fire crew was dispatched. A Pinnacle representative called the fire district's nonemergency dispatch line and said there was a fire alarm report, rather than relaying that the homeowner told them the fire was burning. The wrong terminology and incorrect phone line sent the call plummeting down the fire district's priority list.

    Collapse of a defective jack stand causes the death of a husband with two young children.

    This case involved a 32-year-old active duty serviceman. The Navy officer was replacing the rear axle of his pickup truck in the driveway of his home. A pair of three-legged jack stands manufactured by the Defendant, Doe Industries, Inc., supported the truck.

    The jack stands had a rated capacity of 4,000 pounds. The Naval officer was only using 2,000 pounds of that capacity to support the rear of his truck. Despite the officer's proper use of the equipment, one of the jack stand legs supporting the passenger's side of the vehicle buckled. The truck collapsed on the officer and caused his death by asphyxiation.

    Casper, Meadows, Schwartz & Cook discovered that these same jack stands had been the subject of an earlier recall campaign due to complaints about the legs buckling under less than the maximum-rated weight. Although the jack stands involved in the officer's death were manufactured after the product recall, Casper, Meadows, Schwartz & Cook discovered that only minimal changes had been made to the design. Casper, Meadows, Schwartz & Cook worked with mechanical engineering, metallurgist, economics, and psychiatry experts to demonstrate manufacturer negligence and subsequent damages to the victim and his surviving spouse and children. The Defendant settled for $3.75 million before trial.

    Improperly designed state highway contributes to collision of automobile and van.

    This case involved the death and serious personal injuries of two sisters after a two-car accident on U.S. Highway 50 in El Dorado County, California. The Plaintiffs were passengers in a 1993 Honda Civic on Highway 50 when it collided head-on with the 1992 Toyota van.

    The driver of his van had lost control of his vehicle and crossed over the highway into the eastbound lanes after he suddenly hit a patch of black ice. One Plaintiff was seriously injured and her sister died.

    Casper, Meadows, Schwartz & Cook filed suit against both the driver of the van and the state of California. Casper, Meadows, Schwartz & Cook held several contentions of liability against the State. First, the firm contended the highway was negligently maintained and therefore led to dangerous conditions for motorists. Casper, Meadows, Schwartz & Cook also contended that the State negligently failed to institute approved safety improvements that would have reduced cross-median collision and prevented the fatal accident. Finally, Casper, Meadows, Schwartz & Cook contended that the State failed to warn the public of this hazardous trap created by icy road conditions.

    The State countered that the driver of the van did not exercise reasonable care in light of the winter conditions and blamed him for the head-on collision. The State also argued that it had no notice of the black ice on the roadway and claimed immunization from negligence under a government code.

    However, despite the State's arguments, the case was settled after two days of mediation with Casper, Meadows, Schwartz & Cook clients receiving a total of 2 million dollars.

    A California jail staff's neglect of a 35-year-old male schizophrenic's medical needs leads to attempted suicide that leaves him in a vegetative state. Jury verdict finds negligence as the cause.

    This case involved a 35-year-old male schizophrenic who was arrested for several misdemeanors and incarcerated in a California jail. The Plaintiff exhibited suicidal tendencies and was placed in a segregated cell, but the jail staff neglected to ensure that bed sheets were not allowed in the cell. The Plaintiff used the bed sheets to hang himself. Jail staff later found the Plaintiff hanging from his cell. Although he was rushed to a local hospital where his life was saved, doctors said he would live the rest of his life in a persistent vegetative state.

    The Defendants contended that the Plaintiff was solely responsible for his own injuries, arguing they were neither deliberately indifferent nor negligent to his unstable psychiatric condition. However, Casper, Meadows, Schwartz & Cook argued that the Defendants were negligent and therefore the proximate cause of the victim's life-altering injuries. After two daylong mediation sessions, Casper, Meadows, Schwartz & Cook was successful in winning a $1.25 million recovery for the Plaintiff.

    Police shoot Asian man to death in front of his wife. Casper, Meadows, Schwartz & Cook helps family prove civil rights violations and win a $1 million recovery.

    This case involved the shooting death of Kwanchung Kao by a Rohnert Park police officer. The tragic event began when Kao returned home after a late night at a local bar where he was subjected to racial slurs. Upset by the incident, Kao began acting strangely, removed his shirt and began yelling, "Neighbors, please help me!"

    Kao's neighbors called the police. Defendants, Officers Shields and Lynch, arrived on the scene in separate patrol cars at 2:16 a.m. Lynch approached Kao in his patrol car in a manner intended to scare him. Kao responded by poking the car with a stick. Lynch asked Shields to remain in his patrol car and called for backup. However, Shields instead exited his car and confronted Kao.

    Kao's wife, the Plaintiff, tried to calm her husband and get the stick out of his hands. Shields commanded the Plaintiff to stand clear and, although he was armed with pepper spray and a baton, shot Kao to death in front of her. The Plaintiff, a registered nurse, attempted to help her dying husband but the officers once again commanded her to stand clear.

    Casper, Meadows, Schwartz & Cook worked with an economist and a police expert to demonstrate that the civil rights of Kao and his wife had been violated. After several failed attempts by the Defendants to appeal the suit, the City of Rohnert Park settled the case for $1 million.
