$150K Settlement for Woman Injured by Three-time Drunk Driver
Attorney Jonathan Groth obtained a $150,000 settlement on behalf of a Clintonville, Wisconsin woman who was hit by a drunk driver.
The 55-year-old female victim was traveling north on U.S. Highway 45 near Clintonville, Wisconsin in Waupaca County when a drunk driver crossed the center line and hit her head on. The collision was the fourth time that the defendant was cited for driving while intoxicated and operating a motor vehicle after revocation as a habitual traffic offender. The drunk driver was previously charged with operating while intoxicated causing injury.
The victim suffered knee, neck and back injuries. The settlement was reached prior to Attorney Jonathan Groth having to file a lawsuit on behalf of the victim.
The Intentional Tort of Texting
The punitive damages saga has another element on the horizon. Representative Peter Barca and others have introduced, and both chambers may soon pass, a law banning texting while driving in Wisconsin. With this law the argument to assess punitive damages against texting drivers will get that much easier.

Releases In Law And Practice
Whenever a dispute between two or more parties is settled each side will most likely want some sort of release signed. Why? A release is a contract that ensures that the case is over and done with.
