Managing Partner Tom Dickerson obtained a $4.481 million verdict in a personal injury product liability case in the United States District Court, District of Kansas, in March 2023 with co-counsel. The case took seven years to complete and was re-tried after losing the first trial. Tom and his co- counsel were persistent in continuing the case for so long and fought to obtain justice for the client. Congrats to him and the entire trial team for their hard work and a great recovery! A major victory!
OL? L RIGHTS
And while the pool’s owner is responsible for ensuring the above things don’t happen, it’s still important for families to remain vigilant and do their due diligence to keep themselves safe. So, what can you do to remain safe despite the risks?
Always read the pool rules!
When you arrive at a pool, make sure your family (including children) understands the pool’s rules, like no running or jumping. This will not only help keep your family safe (the rules are there for a reason!) but will also ensure you don’t do anything that the pool’s owner can use against you later if an injury does occur. But if your family obeyed the rules and suffered injury after the swimming pool owner reasonably failed to take better care to prevent the slip-and-fall accident, the owner could be liable for the damages. If you or someone in your family suffers a severe injury at a pool this summer, and you want to discuss your options, contact our slip-and- fall attorneys for a free consultation by calling 816-268-1960. May 29 is Memorial Day this year, and it’s a time to honor and mourn the U.S. military members who have lost their lives while serving. Many families have their own ways of observing the holiday, but if you’re looking for opportunities to get out in your community this Memorial Day, Blue Springs is hosting their annual parade for all to attend. Since World War II, Blue Springs has hosted this parade every year, and military members and civilians participate. The parade begins at Main Street and proceeds to Blue Springs Cemetery, where the Veterans of Foreign Wars will hold a ceremony for the fallen. Then, the parade will continue to the Meyers Funeral Home, where military members will take a parade rest (a formal position for soldiers that includes being silent and motionless) and a moment of silence. The parade begins at 10 a.m., and everyone is welcome to attend. However, parade organizers are also looking for more military service members to participate in the parade. “There is currently a special need for more service men and women in uniform to escort the flag to the cemetery. Scouts, ROTC, and civilians follow the military color guard,” organizers said. If you or someone you know is a service member interested in participating in the parade to escort the flag, call the city of Blue Springs at 816-228-0110. For everyone else looking for a way to honor our fallen service members with their community, come on out to the Memorial Day parade in Blue Springs at West Main Street, Blue Springs, MO 64015.
