In Smith v. Mahoney, Del. Supr. 2016 WL 6519000, Nov. 3, 2016, the Delaware Supreme Court affirmed the application of Stayton v. Delaware Health Corp. to Medicaid payments made for post-PIP medical expenses claimed by a plaintiff in a personal injury suit. Thomas Leff made the winning argument to the Court.
In Deal v. Dimondo and USAA, Del. Super., 2016 WL 3662195, July 1, 2016, the Delaware Superior Court upheld the application of the former UIM Statute to plaintiff’s auto policy. Thomas Leff presented the successful argument to the court.
After a learned oral argument, the Delaware Supreme Court agreed with the argument made by Thomas P. Leff and ruled that their prior decision of Stayon . . . applies to Medicaid, thereby limiting the collateral source rule to only amounts paid by Medicaid and not their reductions or write-offs.
Colin M. Shalk obtained a defense verdict for his client, a general contractor, after an eight day jury trial. The Plaintiff was claiming over a million dollars in medical expenses and lost wages after a piece of plywood fell on him. The jury found that Mr. Shalk’s client was not responsible for the incident or plaintiff’s injuries. Smith v. Dewson Construction. (January 2016).
Colin M. Shalk successfully argued before the Delaware Supreme Court that the settled of an uninsured motorist claim was in good faith and therefore a breach of contract claim could not be maintained. Price v. State Farm Mut. Auto. Ins. Co., 2013 WL 1213292, aff’d 77 A.3d 272 (Del. 2013). (September 2013).
The Supreme Court affirmed summary judgement on behalf of Stephen Casarino’s client and found that a landlord was not liable for a customer’s injuries after she tripped on a mannequin placed by the tenant, as the landlord did not exercise sufficient control over the area where the incident occurred. Heaps v. Church St. Assocs., 2013 WL 7760048, aff’d, 65 A.3d 616 (Del. 2013) (April 2013).
