May 2009 bring happiness and good health to you and those you love.

3. New Year's Resolution - Put your estate planning in order.

You need a Power of Attorney and Living Will/ Advance Directive. Modern medicine and machinery can keep a person alive for long periods of time.

Unfortunately, a person is often kept alive in great pain or under circumstances that render him or her unconscious as to everything around them, while causing pain and anguish to the family.


Our state has passed a "Living Will" law, often called a "Death with Dignity" law, which allows a person to direct that heroic measures not be taken to prolong life in these unhappy situations.


This "Living Will" is not a substitute for a regular Will, which affects property rights. The "Living Will" is an independent document to be signed in addition to your regular Will.
Please let us know if you want a Living Will/ Advance Directive prepared.
4. No automobile search exception if no exigent circumstances. State v. Owens (App. Div. Decided March 28, 2008) 14-2-0078, Unpublished.

On the state's appeal from a Law Division order that suppressed drug evidence seized following a warrantless search of an automobile, the appellate court affirms. Although the judge found that the police had probable cause not only to detain and arrest defendant, but also to search the vehicle, she concluded that the state failed to prove that the search fell within any of the exceptions to the warrant requirement. Particularly, she determined that (1) the search-incident-to-arrest exception was inapplicable because defendant had been detained in a courtyard, and then brought to the motor vehicle while in custody; (2) the automobile exception did not apply because, although the police had probable cause, there was an absence of exigent circumstances justifying the warrantless search; and, finally, (3) the drugs were not in plain view.

5. No Restraining Order where calls are not harassing. A.G. v. R.A.C (App. Div. Decided May 12, 2008) 14-2-0471, Unpublished.

The trial court erred in granting a final restraining order because defendant's four phone calls over four weeks after the parties ended their dating relationship, which were not anonymous, offensively coarse or made at extremely inconvenient times, do not establish harassment under N.J.S.A. 2C: 33-4a.

2. Police may have immunity for a criminal arrest made in their presence. Virginia v. Moore 128 S.Ct. 1598 (2008) No. 06-1082

In a case raising the issue of whether a police officer violates the Fourth Amendment by making an arrest based on probable cause but prohibited by state law, the Supreme Court rules that warrantless arrests for crimes committed in the presence of an arresting officer are reasonable under the Constitution, and that while states are free to regulate such arrests however they desire, state restrictions do not alter the Fourth Amendment's protections.


3. 30 year old uncounseled DWI Conviction could not enhance jail. State v. Binkiewicz 78 NJ 397 (App. Div. Decided May 6, 2008) A5613-06T4, Unpublished.


Where defendant's first conviction for a DWI occurred more than 30 years ago, his testimony and certification that he did not know that he was entitled to counsel and was not asked if he wanted an adjournment to obtain counsel is sufficient under Laurick to establish that the conviction was uncounseled. Having found that the conviction was uncounseled, and since subsequent convictions exceeded the 10-year time span under N.J.S.A. 39:4-50(a)(3), the judge correctly applied the step-down provision and sentenced defendant as a second offender with respect to incarceration but as a third offender with respect to the administrative penalties after he pleaded guilty to his third DWI conviction.

4. Liability of Owner of Commercial Property for Defects, Snow and Ice Accumulation and Other Dangerous Conditions in Abutting Sidewalks

No one plans on being injured in an accident, whether it is a car accident, fall down or other situation. Speak with a personal injury attorney immediately to retain all your rights. The stores are responsible for the maintenance of their premises which are used by the public. It is the duty of the store to inspect and keep said premises in a safe condition and free from any and all pitfalls, obstacles or traps that would likely cause injury to persons lawfully thereon.

The law imposes upon the owner of commercial or business property the duty to use reasonable care to see to it that the sidewalks abutting the property are reasonably safe for members of the public who are using them. In other words, the law says that the owner of commercial property must exercise reasonable care to see to it that the condition of the abutting sidewalk is reasonably safe and does not subject pedestrians to an unreasonable risk of harm. The concept of reasonable care requires the owner of commercial property to take action with regard to conditions within a reasonable period of time after the owner becomes aware of the dangerous condition or, in the exercise of reasonable care, should have become aware of it.

If there was a condition of this sidewalk that was dangerous in that it created an unreasonable risk of harm for pedestrians, and if the owner knew of that condition or should have known of it but failed to take such reasonable action to correct or remedy the situation within a reasonable period of time thereafter as a reasonably prudent commercial or business owner would have done under the circumstances, then the owner is negligent.

If you are injured, after seeking medical treatment and advising the store/mall,

CALL KENNETH A. VERCAMMEN, ESQ. 732-572-0500 For an Appointment

1. Stadium Beer Vendor Liability Suit Settled For $23.5 Million.

The beer refreshment vendor at Giants Stadium agreed to pay $23.5 million to
settle the case of a girl paralyzed in a crash with a drunken football fan under
an 18-month-old secret agreement that an appeals court unsealed Wednesday at
the request of a public advocacy group. The court ruled that the settlement
paid by Aramark, Inc. to Antonia Verni couldn't remain confidential because
the girl's privacy was trumped by the presumption of open court records and
the public interest in her tragic case.

2. Appellate Division Cannot Amend DWI Refusal Statement. State v. Spell 142NJ 514 (2008).

The Court affirms defendant's conviction substantially for the reasons expressed
by the Appellate Division. The Court vacates that part of the Appellate Division's
holding that requires police officers to read the final, additional paragraph
of the standard statement whenever a defendant refuses to provide a breath sample
immediately upon request. The Legislature has vested in the Motor Vehicle Commission
the authority to determine the Standard Refusal Statement.

4. Spending Down Medicaid Planning By Thomas D. Begley, Jr., Esquire.

The client who engages in Medicaid planning is usually a person of modest means
who has been diagnosed with an illness and therefore the option of long-term
care insurance is no longer available. A typical client may own a home and have
countable assets of between $100,000 and $400,000. Most clients' goals are as
follows:

1. To obtain the best quality of care for the institutionalized person
2. To maintain the standard of living of the community spouse, including providing
sufficient income and assets so that the community spouse can continue to reside
in the family home
3. Avoid Medicaid liens being placed on the home
4. Preserving a modest legacy for the children
5. Addressing tax issues, including:
  · Federal and state income taxes
  · Federal and state gift taxes
  · Federal estate tax
  · State estate tax
  · State inheritance tax

At the beginning of the initial client meeting, the attorney must begin the
process of managing client expectations.

There are many strategies available to obtain or accelerate Medicaid eligibility.
Significant factors include whether the client is married; whether the client
is in crisis; the nature and extent of the client's assets; and the size of
the IRAs of the respective spouses.

Spending Down

Most states limit a Medicaid recipient to approximately $2,000 of countable
resources. One way to achieve this limit is to "spend down" all but
the permissible amount of countable resources. What clients typically want to
avoid is spending all of their assets on nursing home care. There are several
ways a client might spend down his assets.


Pay Off Debts

Repayment of a debt is not considered a transfer, because the individual is
receiving fair market value, and transfers are penalized only if the transferor
does not receive fair market value. Typical debts clients might have include
mortgages, home equity loans, car loans, and credit card bills. In order for
the spend down to be accomplished, the check must actually be written and delivered.
An outstanding debt is simply a liability that does not reduce assets for Medicaid
eligibility purposes.


Payment for Services

Payment for services, including medical bills and legal fees, does not constitute
a transfer. The services performed by the attorney are the value the client
receives for the payment. Therefore, there is no uncompensated transfer of funds.


Prepayment of Real Estate Taxes

In situations where the home is occupied by a community spouse it makes sense
to prepay real estate taxes. Since the home is occupied by the community spouse
it is a non-countable resource. Expenditure of the funds for payment of the
real estate taxes constitutes valid spend down.


Buy Household Goods or Personal Effects

Personal effects and household goods are excluded to the extent that the total
equity value of such resources does not exceed $2,000. In practice, Medicaid
does not appear to enforce the $2,000 limit.


The personal effects actually should be used by the community spouse. An excellent
example of a violation of the "pig principle" is a recent New Jersey
case. In that case, a 92-year-old grandmother was penalized for transfer of
assets. The grandmother lived in a nursing home and purchased a computer that
was kept at her granddaughter's home. The court held that there was no evidence
that the Medicaid applicant received anything of value for her $1,478.61 expenditure.


Make Home Improvements

Making home improvements is a way to convert countable assets (i.e., cash and
securities) into a non-countable asset (i.e., a personal residence). A home
and lot used as a principal residence are excludable resources.


Purchase New Home

Occasionally, when one spouse enters a nursing home, the community spouse decides
that the current home is too big and decides to move to a smaller home or a
condominium. Since the home is a non-countable resource, if the home is sold
and the proceeds of sale from the original principal residence are reinvested
into a more expensive home, the additional funds spent on the new home are converted
from a countable asset to a non-countable asset. This strategy relies on the
principal residence exemption.


Purchase Life Estate from Children

The Deficit Reduction Act-2005 exempts from the transfer of assets penalties
the purchase of a life interest in another individual's home if the purchaser
resides in the home for a period of at least one year after the date of the
purchase. The Act is silent as to how the life estate is to be valued, but elsewhere
there are references to the publication of the Office of Chief Actuary of the
Social Security Administration.


In a New Jersey case, a parent purchased a life estate in a child's house for
$126,665.10. The decision noted that a life estate entitles the person to use
and occupy the home. There was no evidence that the daughter or her family vacated
the home. The daughter and her family had no legal right to remain in the home
absent payment of rent.


The CMS Guidance contains some troubling language: "Unless a state has
a provision for excluding the value of life estates in its approved State Medicaid
Plan, or the property in which the individual has purchased a life estate qualifies
as the individual's exempt home, the value of the life estate should be counted
as a resource in determining Medicaid eligibility."


The child would not receive a Section 121 exclusion from the sale of a principal
residence, because he did not sell his entire interest in the residence.


Prepaid Funeral

Most states do not count funds in an irrevocable funeral trust as countable
assets. Also, most states do not have a dollar limit on the amount that can
be expended for the funeral. The monies must be put in an irrevocable trust;
the trust must be for the benefit of the Medicaid applicant; and the trust must
be established by an individual who reasonably anticipates applying for or receiving
Medicaid benefits.


An alternative to an irrevocable funeral trust is an irrevocable assignment
of a life insurance policy in exchange for funeral services of the same or greater
value as the cash surrender value of the policy. Funeral directors require a
paid-up policy.

Irrevocable policies issued by companies, such as Choices or Forethought, are
also acceptable to Medicaid and to most funeral homes. One of the nice features
of these policies is that insurance companies having significant assets back
them and they can be used in most funeral homes.

Purchase of burial spaces for adult children and their spouses do not constitute
transfers for Medicaid penalty purposes. The burial space resource exemption
applies to burial spaces for the Medicaid Applicant and also any member of his
or her immediate family. Immediate family means an individual's minor or adult
children, including adopted children and stepchildren, an individual's brothers,
sisters, parents, adoptive parents, and the spouses of those individuals. Neither
dependency nor living in the same household will be a factor in determining
whether a person is an immediate family member.


Purchase New Car

Frequently, when one spouse enters a nursing home, the other spouse is driving
an old car with high mileage. A good strategy is to have the community spouse
purchase a new car as part of the spend down. Under current law the best time
to purchase the car would be after the institutionalized spouse enters a nursing
home. Under federal law, the first $4,500 of the value of a car is excluded
from the calculation of countable assets. However, if the car is used for medical
transportation or transportation in connection with employment, the entire value
of the car is non-countable. Many states simply permit one car to be non-countable
regardless of value or use.

7. Needed: Outdoor Nativity Scene.


A nativity scene, also called a crib or crèche (meaning "crib"
or "manger" in French) generally refers to any depiction of the birth
or birthplace of Jesus. The local Knight of Columbus members are looking for
used outdoor nativity scenes no longer being used or displayed, to give them
a new home.


Christian Nativity scenes usually show Jesus in a manger, Joseph and Mary in
a barn (or cave) intended to accommodate farm animals. A donkey and an ox accompany
them; besides the necessity of animals for a manager, this is an allusion to
Isaiah: "the ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib; but Israel
doth not know, my people doth not consider" (Is. 1:3). The scene sometimes
includes the Magi or Three Wise Men, shepherds, angels and the Star of Bethlehem.
The traditional scenes that show the shepherds and Magi together are of course
not true to the Bible story, since the Magi arrived much later (Luke 2:7-16).

An Atlantic County jury awarded a total of $12.9 million on Wednesday to three people who developed inflammatory bowel disease after taking the acne medication Accutane as teenagers. Since 1984, manufacturer Hoffman-LaRoche Inc., with headquarters in Nutley, has included a reference to bowel problems in Accutane's instructions to prescribing doctors, but the suits claimed the company should have made the warnings stronger and also should have given warnings to users of the drug. The jury award consisted of $12.5 million in pain, suffering and disability and the remainder in future medical expenses.

3. Cumberland Co. Hit with $1.5 Million Verdict for Road Injuries.

A jury handed up a $1.5 million verdict for an injured motorcyclist on Wednesday, holding Cumberland County liable for failure to repair a dangerous road condition. Plaintiff Eugene Williams, of Bridgeton, hit a damaged section of a heavily wooded road in rural Downe Township at dusk and crashed to the ground, sliding almost a hundred feet and sustaining a closed head injury, ruptured spleen, lacerated liver and other wounds. The plaintiff's proofs showed the county had actual notice of the road's condition, having made several temporary but ineffective repairs over the prior three years.

Have a holly, jolly Christmas,
It's the best time of the year
I don't know if there'll be snow,
But have a cup of cheer.

Have a holly, jolly Christmas,
And when you walk down the street,
Say "Hello" to friends you know
And everyone you meet.

Oh, Ho, the mistletoe,
Hung where you can see,
Somebody waits for you,
Kiss her once for me.

Have a holly, jolly Christmas,
And in case you didn't hear,
Oh by golly, have a holly,
Jolly Christmas this year.

1. Search of duffel bag in home must comply with NJ Constitution. State v. Johnson ___ NJ ___ (Decided February 26, 2008) A-81-06


Defendant has standing under state law to challenge the warrantless search of the duffel bag in the home in which he was present, and the fruits of the search are suppressed for failure to comply with the warrant requirements of Article I, Paragraph 7 of the New Jersey Constitution.


2. Worksite Shortcuts Resulting in Electrocutions Lead to $8 Million Settlement.


A construction site with inadequate control and safety procedures, mixed with a tree's collapse onto high-voltage lines, has led to a death, two severe injuries and an $8 million settlement in Essex County Superior Court. Plaintiffs allege that nearly everyone, from the property owner to the principal and sub-contractors to the power utility that maintained area vegetation, had failed to follow proper safety procedures in October 2001 when Nicolino Cifelli Sr. and his family owned landscaping company came to clear trees and other plants as part of the parking lot expansion at A&P corporate headquarters in Montvale. When a tree struck the power lines, Cifelli's son, Nicolino Jr., was electrocuted and killed, Cifelli and his co-worker Marco Cicchino were severely injured by the shock, and Cifelli's wife Lucille witnessed the death of her son and the crippling of her husband. The two suits, Cifelli v. Two Paragon Drive and Cicchino v. Roman Asphalt, were consolidated before Superior Court Judge Dennis F. Carey but were settled before trial through mediation with retired appellate Judge John E. Keefe Sr. Parties agreed to pay $6 million to the surviving Cifellis and $2 million to Cicchino.

3. Slip on Melted, Refrozen Snow Settled for $2.15 Million.

A cautionary settlement for the coming winter: A retail store and its snow removal contractor have agreed to pay a woman who fell on ice in their parking lot $2.15 million. She alleged that the two did not adequately monitor melting and re-freezing since the most recent removal. The subcontractor that performed the removal, Adamsville Construction, had evidently piled the snow into mounds on a traffic island in the lot; temperatures over the following week had remained above freezing until shortly before 43-year-old Deborah Peisel slipped and fell. The fall aggravated a prior spinal displacement or spondylolisthesis for which she had not required treatment for several years. Eventually Peisel underwent five surgeries, many for a bowel problem caused by her initial spinal surgery. She has sufficient lower back pain and gastric symptoms that have left her with restricted mobility, a limited diet and could reduce her work to part-time. Peisel v. Adamsville Construction et al. was to be tried before Middlesex County Superior Court Judge Mathias E. Rodriguez, but Adamsville was quickly dismissed from the suit, and the store and main contractor agreed to settle - for $1 million and $1.15 million respectively - on condition of anonymity.

4. Drunk Driving. State v. Thulin.(Appellate Division) A-1691-07T4, November 6, 2008. Not approved for publication (12 pages).


Conviction following a trial de novo for refusal to submit to a Breathalyzer test reversed; one of the six summonses issued to the defendant following a single-vehicle accident described the offense as "refusal to submit to blood" and cited the implied-consent statute, N.J.S.A. 39:4-50.2; however, no summons was issued for failure to submit to a Breathalyzer test; relying on the State Trooper's testimony that he had read the "New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission Standard Statement for Operators of a Motor Vehicle" to the defendant as required by N.J.S.A. 39:4-50.2(e), the Law Division found the defendant guilty of violating N.J.S.A. 39:4-50.4a; however, the Appellate Division agreed with the defendant that his conviction had to be reversed because the failure to accurately state the charge against which he had to defend violated due process.

Greetings Kenneth Vercammen, 

1. Negligence in Road Repairs Leads to $31M Verdict.


A Camden County jury has taken a dim view of that county's negligence in repairing a 130-foot stretch of roadway long recognized as dangerous and awarded $31.3 million to a young man who, four years ago at age 18, crashed into an unsafe guardrail there, lost a leg and may yet lose an arm. Nicolas M. Anderson was forced to swerve off the pavement on Raritan Avenue in Waterford Township to avoid a vehicle that had strayed into his lane, but because the pavement dropped six inches to the shoulder - four inches more than the acceptable limit - his car hurtled straight into a guardrail that the county had known for 20 years had an unsafe end piece. The guardrail beam severed Anderson's left leg; his right leg and left arm also were severely injured. At trial it was revealed the county did not have an inspection program for pavement edges and that its policy for replacing substandard guardrails was to wait until an accident occurred. Court officials speculated this award may be among the highest in a motor-vehicle accident case in state history. Anderson v. Camden County was tried before Superior Court Judge John A. Fratto. 


NJ Lawyer Daily Briefing 10-22-08

2. Commercial Vehicle could be searched during routine safety inspection. State v. Hewitt 400 NJ Super. 376 (Law Div. 2008).


The trooper's warrantless search of a commercial truck to confirm a suspected hidden compartment and identify its contents, made during a routine safety inspection, was a valid administrative search. 

Source: 192 N.J.L.J. 570. 
3. Where crime involved employer's car, no extreme hardship to avoid license suspension. State v. Carrero 399 NJ Super. 419 (Law Div. 2007). 

Loss of employment is not an "extreme hardship" entitling a defendant to relief from mandatory license suspension under N.J.S.A. 2C:35-16(a) where the loss is the result of his unauthorized, criminal use of his employer's vehicle. 

Source: 192 N.J.L.J. 134. 
4. PTI Rejection based on mental illness ok. State v. Hoffman 399 NJ Super. 207 (App. Div. 1999).


In this appeal, the court reversed an order admitting the defendant into a Pretrial Intervention program over the prosecutor's objection. The court concluded that the victims' status as police officers does not eviscerate N.J.S.A. 2C:43 12(e)(4), which requires prosecutors to consider "[t]he victim to forego prosecution."

2. Recent cases: Blindness After Lasik to Cost $2.1M.


Dr. Joseph Dello Russo had advertised the safety of LASIK eye surgery for years, once even performing it live on Good Morning America. Now, a man who heard the call, underwent Dello Russo's surgery and became legally blind afterwards has settled with the doctor and his New Jersey Eye Center for $2.1 million. James Dell'Ermo alleged that Dello Russo failed to recognize that because of the shape of his corneas he was a poor candidate for LASIK surgery. After the surgery, Dell'Ermo had a deteriorating condition known as ectasia that will eventually force him to seek corneal transplants. Dell'Ermo v. Dello Russo and New Jersey Eye Center was one of 16 negligence lawsuits against the center that were at one time consolidated for binding arbitration, resulting in an award that was rejected by the Appellate Division one year ago, over insurance law considerations, in New Jersey Eye Center v. Princeton Insurance. It was scheduled to go to trial before Bergen County Superior Court Judge Robert C. Wilson this month but was settled shortly beforehand.
