Specific Incident Needed to Collect Workers' Compensation for PTSD
In 2014, an Illinois state arbitrator awarded workers’ compensation to an Illinois State Trooper as a result of his suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. What made the case unusual was the source of the PTSD was an allegedly abusive supervisor. The trooper claimed he was suffering mental and physical anguish because the supervisor had constantly berated him while he was under the supervisor’s command. However, the decision was later overturned during an appeal. Workplace stress can gradually degrade an employee’s mental health, but the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Commission is unlikely to recognize this as a reason to award compensation. Specific Trauma Illinois claimants can receive workers’ compensation benefits for PTSD if they can site an event that caused the trauma. An event usually involves the claimant: Being the victim of a violent attack; Suffering a severe injury at work; or Witnessing a disturbing scene at work. Police…

California’s Lemon Laws Apply to More Than Cars
Most people think of a lemon as something you eat, or a car that’s essentially a piece of junk. The truth is, there are lemon laws in California that are designed to protect consumers or provide remedies to those who buy or lease all types of consumer goods. From kitchen appliances and HVAC systems to wheel chairs and other medical devices, the California Lemon Law applies to almost every product purchased for personal use other than clothing, food or other consumable goods. Naturally, no one buys a washing machine or computer with the expectation that it will be defective in some way; you expect the things you buy to function as they should. That said, the California Lemon Law applies not only to consumers, but manufacturers as well. Manufacturers of consumer goods are required to provide repair facilities that can be accessed by the consumer in California without difficulty. Additionally, they are allotted a specific number of attempts to repair a defective product, and…

School Bus Driver Pleads Not Guilty to Allegations of Abusing Autistic Child
In early February an incident between a school bus driver and an 8-year-old autistic child was captured on video displaying the driver mocking and putting her hands on the child. The video was publicly released, and the driver is facing criminal charges. 64-year-old Kim Cheryle Klopson drives a school bus for the Vacaville Unified School District in Vacaville, California. On the morning of February 6, she was charged with driving the special needs children to Browns Valley Elementary School. While the bus was en route to the school Klopson reprimanded an 8-year-old autistic girl who was on board and allegedly told her that if she continued to block the aisle with her feet she was “going to be on the window,” as heard on the surveillance equipment installed inside of the bus.

Schlossberg: Disgust, Disrepute and Discipline
When I first saw the video, I assumed the guy was a tourist, as it seemed unfathomable that any New Yorker could say something so utterly idiotic and outrageous. Not only was I wrong about that, but it got worse. He was a New Yorker. He was Jewish. He was a lawyer. Naturally, this led to the first shrew calling for his lawyer-head. But hardly the last. A recording of the exchange promptly went viral earlier this week, and the Intercept’s Shaun King soon identified Schlossberg as the xenophobe in the video. Then, on Thursday, two government officials took action: Democratic Rep. Adriano Espaillat of New York and Democratic Bronx borough president Ruben Diaz Jr. filed a formal complaint against Schlossberg with the discipline committee of the New York State Unified Court System. Their grievance asks the committee “to affirm that such misconduct and behavior will not, and must never be tolerated.” Although the letter does not request…

The 30-Year Itch (Update)
Was it anger seething for the past 30 years, or was it some desire to have a story to tell so that they wouldn’t be left out of the tears of #MeToo victimhood? After all, no woman wants to gut the narrative that they’re a victim of toxic masculinity while their contemporaries are getting “likes” galore on Instragram. And it’s hard to hold on to one’s pain for 30 years, particularly when it wasn’t considered painful in the least at the time. But when you have a luminary to accuse, the temptation is hard to pass up, as journalist and Wayne State professor Jack Lessenberry learned. Lessenberry is a longtime Detroit journalist who served as the head of journalism faculty at WSU, senior political analyst for Michigan Public Radio, ombudsman for the Toledo Blade and host of public affairs program for Toledo’s WGTE-TV, according to the Crain’s article. Lessenberry has previously worked as a foreign correspondent and…

PA Superior Court Continues to Undermine US Supreme Court's Birchfield Ruling
Criminal Defense Lawyer Zak Goldstein The Pennsylvania Superior Court has decided the case of Commonwealth v. Moser. In Moser, the Superior Court concluded that police lawfully obtained the defendant’s blood sample without a search warrant because the defendant consented to the blood draw before police read him defective and coercive O’Connell warnings. Accordingly, the court reversed the trial court’s order suppressing the results of the blood test. The Facts of Commonwealth v. Moser Moser was charged with Homicide by vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or controlled substance (Homicide by DUI), three counts of DUI, homicide by vehicle, and related traffic offenses. Moser filed a motion to suppress, arguing that police coerced him into submitting to warrantless blood testing by reading him defective O’Connell warnings which informed him that if he refused the blood testing, he would…
