Attorneys successfully defended an accountant and his firm in a malpractice case. Plaintiff filed a malpractice counterclaim to a collection action commenced by the accounting firm, and 25 days later plaintiff filed a separate action for malpractice against the accounting firm and the individual accountant. Defense attorneys filed praecipes for non-pros for failure to timely file a Certificate of Merit as to both actions.
We successfully argued that a plaintiff’s claims against a local police department were precluded by law. First, we pointed out that our client was not an entity that could be sued. Second, we emphasized that the statute of limitations applied to bar the plaintiff’s claims. Finally, we contended our client was immune from liability pursuant to R.C. § 2744.01, even if it could be sued. The plaintiff attempted to argue his case for excessive use of force, malicious prosecution and emotional distress for being arrested after he was fired from his place of employment.
The claims arose from the alleged occurrence of an unrecognized left tibial/medial plantar nerve injury during left ankle deltoid ligament reconstruction. Despite challenging liability issues the defense was able to significantly discredit the plaintiff at her videotaped discovery deposition based on the findings of an extensive pre-suit investigation. After testifying to having no criminal history, the plaintiff was confronted with multiple guilty pleas for writing bad checks.
