Jackson v. Daylesford Lake et al., P.C.C.P, September Term 2011, No. 00263

Plaintiff, John Jackson and his wife Joyce were represented by Ted M. Schaer and Michael S. Misher. As of January 27, 2011, the date of John’s fall, he was sixty-seven (67) years old, and had been married to Joyce for forty-eight (48) years. He was the father of four grown children, and the grandfather to ten (10) grandchildren. He had just retired from his thirty-plus year career in custodial management, but had returned to working part time at Sears in the home and garden section. John fell while carefully walking across Lakeview Circle to help his neighbor shovel out her driveway. As a result of his fall, he was rendered a quadriplegic. Schaer and Misher were successful in proving the negligence of all defendants with regard to the ice and snow removal on the cul-de-sac. As a result, Mr. and Mrs. Jackson were able to agree to a substantial settlement prior to trial.
