City to mull accident suit for $250K


By TONY WAGGONER
Friday, July 10, 2009 10:19 PM MST


The Lake Havasu City Council could decide Tuesday to authorize a lawsuit settlement agreement with a local man injured in a rollover and his family.

The recommendation for an agreement of $250,000 comes after a jury earlier rejected awarding Ryan Meehan damages, and a trail judge later dismissed an appeal and motion for a new trial but left open the issue of damages.

Meehan and his family filed a civil lawsuit against the city for injuries Meehan suffered during a 2002 rollover accident.

Meehan suffered serious injury after being ejected from the vehicle when he failed to yield to a police car and lost control while eluding police.

Meehan and his parents sued the city and the officer for negligence on the part of the police officer in pursuit of Meehan’s vehicle, negligence on the part of the city for failing to properly train and supervise the officer and loss of financial capital for Meehan’s parents.

In September 2008, a jury ruled regarding liability Meehan was 82 percent responsible for the accident and Lake Havasu City and the officer were 18 percent at fault.

Although Meehan was not awarded damages, his parents were awarded $12,150 for their consortium claims after deductions for comparative fault.

To avoid further litigation and expenses, City Attorney Paul Lenkowsky is recommending the council vote to approve the settlement with the Meehan family.

Lenkowsky said the city has already met its insurance policy deductible, and the settlement amount would be covered entirely by the city’s insurance carrier, at no additional cost to the city.

“The settlement is intended to wrap up any pending litigation,” Lenkowsky said.

The settlement does not, however, admit any liability on the part of the city or the police officer in question, Lenkowsky said.

The City Council meeting will be held Tuesday at 6 p.m. inside the council chambers at the Police Facility. It is open to the public.

What that frikkin' article fails to mention is that the city's attoreny isn't stupid.....he's realted to the claimant.

"Uncle Paul; wanna make a quick $10,000?"

FTBS! Too bad Ryan Meehan survived the roll-over and his f*cked up parents weren't in the backseat!:angry

Total BS!!! The dude should feel good that the officer didn't shoot his stupid A$$ either with a pistal or the tazzer. I like the idea of sending them a bill for the gas and so on. I would also like to know if he paid the tickets that he should have received for this little adventure.

Just one of the reasons that most agencies don't chase the bad guys anymore.  Makes me wonder how many of the really bad guys get away by just stepping on the gas pedal.  We still chase most of them, but they're starting to hold us back a bit too.

I remember a couple years ago one of our motors chased a guy for about 20 miles until the guy bailed out on foot.  They caught him and found out he had a body in the trunk.

Carbon Monoxide poisoning kills boaters.  Take the time to learn about it and how to avoid it.

I've been very gental with my truck for a couple years now. Time to unhitch the boat and see what she can do. I think I'll find a nice Eliminator to T-bone. Saw that on TV. So I can sue the shows producer's cause they put the idea in my head. I can sue the boats owner because it was in my way and not on the water where it should been. Of course I can sue the manufacture of the boat because I couldn't see around it. And of course LHCPD for chasing me. I'm gonna be rich. :jumpie
