Don’t Spill Your HOT COFFEE! October 27, 2011
Posted by Andrew Christman in FAQ Personal Injury, Milwaukee Litigation Attorney, Milwaukee Personal Injury Attorney, Personal Injury Law.add a comment
HBO has produced a new documentary that aired entitled “Hot Coffee.” This film discusses the now infamous case of Liebeck v. McDonald’s in which a woman spilled coffee on herself and was eventually awarded millions of dollars in compensation. The case has become a sticking point for those in favor in tort reform and has been hoisted up as an example greedy people taking advantage of the legal system in our overly litigious society by businesses and insurance companies. The documentary explores whether or not the reputation this case holds is fair and exposes how the case has been twisted to make it seem like and over the top award. “Hot Coffee” is a compelling film and has already won numerous film awards. Two trailers and more information for the film can be found at the website: www.hotcoffeethemovie.com.
Modification to the Direct Action Law in Wisconsin October 25, 2011
Posted by Andrew Christman in FAQ Personal Injury, Milwaukee Litigation Attorney, Milwaukee Personal Injury Attorney, Personal Injury Law, Wisconsin Auto Accidents.add a comment
In May of last year I wrote a blog post about the direct action statute in Wisconsin. This is the law that allows an injured party to sue the insurance company of the at fault party directly. The Supreme Court has recently modified this law in its decision in Casper v. American International South Insurance. There was previously case law in Wisconsin that said in order for the direct action statute to apply, the insurance policy must have been delivered or issued in Wisconsin. In the Casper case, the Wisconsin Supreme Court unanimously overturned this case law now stating that for direct action to apply the subject injury need only take place in Wisconsin. In Casper, an automobile accident, the at fault driver was operating a truck as part of his job duties. The insurance policy covering the employer was issued out of state. More information about the case can be found at the State Bar of Wisconsin website.

New Study On Driving Under the Influence July 28, 2011
Posted by Andrew Christman in Drunk Driving, FAQ Personal Injury, Milwaukee Litigation Attorney, Milwaukee Personal Injury Attorney, Personal Injury Law, Wisconsin Auto Accidents.add a comment
On Saturday, USA Today posted this article about new research from the University of California – San Diego, that says even one alcoholic beverage can increase the likelihood of a driver being involved in a serious collision. The study found that drivers with a small amount of alcohol in their system, an amount under the legal limit for driving, had accidents on average that were 36.6% more serious than sober drivers. While it is extremely unlikely that a single drink would cause a person’s blood alcohol level to climb above the legal limit of .08 thus subjecting the driver to possible charges for driving under the influence, a single drink can influence a drivers concentration, and speed of travel. The study showed that drivers that had consumed alcohol were more likely to drive over the speed limit than those drivers who had not consumed alcohol.
Please remember to always drink responsibly and never to drive under the influence. If you have been injured in an automobile accident by a driver under the influence please contact Attorney Jonathan P. Groth at 877-375-7001. Groth Law Firm, S.C. has offices to meet with clients in Wauwatosa, Brookfield, Milwaukee, Green Bay and Marinette.

Attorney Groth Interviewed On WISN 12 Milwaukee January 26, 2011
Posted by Attorney Jonathan Groth in FAQ Personal Injury, Milwaukee Personal Injury Attorney, Personal Injury Law.add a comment
Attorney Groth was interviewed by Milwaukee’s WISN tonight. In part the story states:
Wednesday, just before delivering his State of the County speech, Holloway was also served with papers from a tenant who is suing him. Thelma Murphy, who lives in a building in the 2000 block of Atkinson that Holloway owns, claims bad lighting and poor upkeep of the stairwell caused her to take a debilitating fall in August. “The stairs were torn and tattered,” said attorney Jonathan Groth, Murhpy’s attorney. Groth sent Holloway a letter on Murphy’s behalf in October, requesting the name of Holloway’s insurance company, to cover Murphy’s medical bills. Groth said instead of responding, Holloway tried to evict Murphy. In January, Groth and Murphy claim in the lawsuit, Holloway sent “an armed thug” to Murphy’s apartment. “When he left back out, he put the gun back to me and told me, ‘Thelma Murphy — I know who you is, and Lee Holloway wants you out of this building immediately,’” Murphy told 12 News earlier this month. “This is the most uncivil civil servant I think we have in the Milwaukee area,” Groth said. The Milwaukee city attorney’s office is prosecuting the municipal case against Holloway for five properties with outstanding violations.

Lawsuit Filed Against Acting Milwaukee County Executive Lee Holloway January 25, 2011
Posted by Attorney Jonathan Groth in FAQ Personal Injury.add a comment
Today Groth Law Firm, S.C. filed a Summons and Complaint in Milwaukee County Circuit Court on behalf of a victim who fell at an apartment complex owned by the Living Trust for acting Milwaukee County Executive Lee Holloway. The Complaint alleges that the apartment complex had received as many as 110 violations of the Milwaukee County Building Code. In October 2010 Groth Law Firm, S.C. asked Lee Holloway for the name of the insurance company that provides coverage for this apartment complex. His only response was an eviction action filed against the tenant. Since that point the acting County Executive has said of the victim, “We’re evicting her ass.” In addition, Groth Law Firm, S.C. alleges that the County Executive sent an armed thug to intimidate the victim after his attempts to evict her failed. After filing the lawsuit Attorney Jonathan Groth commented, “For years Lee Holloway has chosen to allow his tenants to live in the worst conditions imaginable. Instead of acting professionally or even with a tiny bit of civility, Lee Holloway has chosen to ignore our request for his insurance company. Instead, he’s lashed out at the victim and sent a thug to try to intimidate her. My client has a serious knee injury because of Lee Holloway’s choice to put profits over safety. Someone has to hold Lee Holloway accountable.”
For questions about this or other cases handled by Groth Law Firm, S.C. please contact Attorney Jonathan Groth at 877-375-7001.

I’m always very grateful for the former clients who take the time to rate my services and comment at www.Avvo.com.
Jonathan and his secretary worked as a team! I don’t just hand out these high marks if he did not earn it! The last attorney I had was really bad and I marked it as such. I never tell some one to see Groth if I did not think he could help you and get the job done! Try him I think you will be pleased! And this is no B.S. Larry
