Recent Burn Damage Awards, Frederick F. Waugh
Cleveland State Law Review
In ascertaining damages for thermal injuries, the usual elements present in other types of personal injuries must be considered, such as loss of wages, medical expenses, pain and suffering, loss of future earnings, loss of consortium, etc. Presentation of the evidence to the jury is a paramount factor, which can make every difference in the award granted. Photographs, expert testimony, and the display of the evidence on the victim's body, such as scars, discolorations, lesions and physical impairment, can be used in a dramatic manner.

Death Damages And Conflicts Of Laws, Marvin D. Silver
Death Damages And Conflicts Of Laws, Marvin D. Silver
Cleveland State Law Review
Since the adoption of the Fatal Accidents Act of 1846 in the United Kingdom, each of the fifty United States has created by statute a similar right of action which pertains to the survivors or to the estate of the decedent whose death resulted from the wrongful acts of another. During recent years, fourteen states have incorporated within their wrongful death statutes a maximum limitation on the amount of damages recoverable. These restrictions consistently trouble the courts when a wrongful death occurs in one of these limiting states and the suit is brought elsewhere. However, the courts have, with a …

Refusal Of Surgery In Mitigation Of Damages, Eileen Kelley
Refusal Of Surgery In Mitigation Of Damages, Eileen Kelley
Cleveland State Law Review
Generally where one has been injured by another's wrongful conduct he is required to exercise ordinary care and reasonable prudence to seek medical treatment so as to minimize the defendant's damages. Failure to do so may diminish the amount of damages the injured person may recover. This is a fundamental principle of the law of damages, and not of tort.
Staggering Punitive Damages Against Labor Unions, Thurlow Smoot
Staggering Punitive Damages Against Labor Unions, Thurlow Smoot
Cleveland State Law Review
The two U.S. Supreme Court decisions rendered in late May, 1958, involving labor unions, have received widespread publicity, have been the subject of much editorial and other comment, and have caused considerable consternation among labor unions and among some employers who see where they may be involved. Now upon analysis, are the rulings of great significance, worthy of the concern they have caused, portending something new in labor relations? The probability is that they are.

Relief For Vendee From Vendor's Strike, Warren D. Langer
Relief For Vendee From Vendor's Strike, Warren D. Langer
Cleveland State Law Review
While all persons affected by strikes do not have an available remedy, there are many situations where rights and actions have not been exercised and innocent persons have suffered although the necessity of doing so has been precluded by our existing laws. In the first remedy, breach of contract, an injured vendee may maintain an action either against a vendor who fails to protect himself by an appropriate strike clause or a vendor who willfully breaches a contract and then attempts to utilize the fact of a strike as a defense. The second remedy, an action against the striking union, …
Excessive Personal Injury Awards; A Problem And A Recommendation, Anthony R. Nardi
Excessive Personal Injury Awards; A Problem And A Recommendation, Anthony R. Nardi
Cleveland State Law Review
An improved, workable, and sensible test for "excessiveness" in the area of personal injury awards must be established. It is fairly easy to confuse "excessive" with the concept of "large" or "high" awards. In some particular instances perhaps relatively larger or higher awards are proper in today's economy. But, the bulk of over a million injury cases is at a level fairly easy to classify and thereby to compensate properly. When proper standards are established, then awards become excessive when they go beyond this just and equitable measure. Classifications and guides for the vast majority of personal injury claims will …
