Richard E. Schimel, Esquire 301-654-0896 Motor Vehicle Accident


Te Honorable Paul Garvey Goetzke Anne Arundel County


Te plaintiff won a motion for judgment against defendant WMATA at the close of evidence. Te court further held that the plaintiff was not contributorily negligent as a matter of law. Te jury was left to consider damages only. Te case involves injuries sustained while the plaintiff was driving a car which was involved in an accident with a Metro bus which turned left in front of the car at a stop sign. Tis case is an excellent example of the rare grant of a motion for judgment at the close of the case in favor of the plaintiff and an attack on it by way of appeal.


An insured is attempting to recover uninsured benefits from his insurance company in connection with injuries sustained while riding a motorcycle which was neither named in the declarations of the policy nor covered by the liability coverage of the policy. Te court below ruled that the policy provided coverage, that no exclusion applied and that benefits were due and owing because the plaintiff was an insured whether or not the vehicle was listed in the policy.


Tis case addresses the standard of care required of an insurance broker alleged to have procured insufficient coverage for the insured. Two secondary issues are whether the court abused its discretion in: 1) refusing to allow the owner of a jewelry business to testify as to the value of stolen jewelry; and 2) refusing to enter photographs of the jewelry store’s interior which depicted the type of merchandise sold.


Tis case addresses the minimum time for advertising a foreclosure sale and the consequences for failure to advertise for this minimum time. Te plaintiff challenges the foreclosure sale of a home which the plaintiff alleges was not advertised for the necessary period of time. Te case presents the court with an excellent opportunity to provide a detailed analysis of the proper method for calculating the relevant period of time.
