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.

3. Car passenger has no special duty to prevent intoxicated person from driving. Champion v. Dunfee 398 NJ Super. 112 (App. Div. 2008).
The court held that a guest passenger who neither owns nor controls the motor vehicle, who enjoys no special relationship to, and has not substantially encouraged the wrongful behavior of, the actual tortfeasor, owes no affirmative duty to a fellow passenger to prevent his own automobile.
4. Father's right to an Attorney must be honored. NJ DYFS v. R.G. 397 NJ Super. 439.
