1. Important Recent cases: Inadequate Safety Training Leads to $1M Payout.
A maintenance worker who received second- and third-degree burns when a leaking butane filter caught fire at the Ronson Butane Lighter Factory in Middlesex County has won a $1 million settlement from the filter's manufacturer and the OSHA consultant that had been contracted to train workers in the factory's safety procedures. Juraj Kosco found the leak as he was preparing the factory for its morning opening; he tried to investigate without shutting off the butane flow or donning a fire retardant uniform. Static electricity sparked the fire that has left Kosco significantly scarred on his arms, torso and legs.
The OSHA consultant, Industrial Waste Management, had argued it was only contractually responsible for classroom instruction, not for the specific instructions that might have prevented Kosco's injuries. Under mediation by retired appellate Judge John Keefe, however, it agreed to pay $820,000, while the manufacturer, CUNO Inc., agreed to pay $240,000.
The factory owner, Ronson, was removed as a defendant because it was covered by and paid out workers compensation insurance. Its insurer, Liberty Mutual, will now claw back $330,000 of the settlement. Kosco v. Ronson Consumer Products had been scheduled before Middlesex County Judge Jessica R. Mayer.

2. No Expungement if two prior crimes. Expungement Petition of Ross 400 NJ Super. 117 (App. Div. 2008).
The expungement statute, N.J.S.A. 2C:52-2, permits expungement of an indictable conviction only if the petitioner "has not been convicted of any prior or subsequent crime." The court construed the statute and held that if a petitioner commits two crimes at different times, he is precluded from seeking expungement even if he is sentenced and convicted for the two crimes on the same day.
The Law Offices of Kenneth Vercammen can often help people erase prior arrests or criminal charges. Call today.
3. One car accidents not always an "At Fault Accident" to increase insurance rates. Reilly v. AAA-Mid-Atlantic Ins. Co. 194 NJ 474 (2008).
The Department of Banking and Insurance's application of its regulations to assign insurance eligibility points to an insured for an accident in which the insured was not negligent or culpable exceeded the scope of its statutory authority.
4. Police cannot access defendant's Internet records. State v. Reid 194 NJ 386 (2008).
Pursuant to Article I, Paragraph 7, of the New Jersey Constitution, the Court holds that citizens have a reasonable expectation of privacy in the subscriber information they provide to Internet service providers. Accordingly, the motion to suppress by defendant Reid was properly granted because the police used a deficient municipal subpoena.
Law enforcement officials can obtain subscriber information by serving a grand jury subpoena on an Internet service provider without notice to the subscriber. The State may seek to reacquire the information with a proper grand jury subpoena because records of the information existed independently of the faulty process used by the police, and the conduct of the police did not affect the information.
5. Upcoming community events. If you will be attending any of these events, send our office an email response. Sometimes we car pool or meet at community events.

The food served by the participating restaurants is limited to a "sampling". Any restaurant offering an alcoholic beverage has a limit of one complimentary serving per person, and you must be 21 years of age. You may be asked for identification to prove you are of legal drinking age at each stop...so don't forget to bring your I.D.
What is the Probate Surrogate?
In New Jersey the County Surrogate handles the probate of an original Will. Some people refer to the Surrogate as the "Will Clerk." However, the Surrogate can only admit to probate the original Will. The Surrogate cannot admit a photocopy.
To admit a photocopy, a complaint must be filed in the Superior Court and a hearing held before a Judge.

A defendant convicted of a second or subsequent offense of driving while intoxicated (DWI), N.J.S.A. 39:4-50, who seeks a step-down in sentence on the ground that one or more of the prior convictions were uncounseled, pursuant to State v.

What is the Probate Surrogate?
In New Jersey the County Surrogate handles the probate of an original Will. Some people refer to the Surrogate as the "Will Clerk." However, the Surrogate can only admit to probate the original Will. The Surrogate cannot admit a photocopy.
To admit a photocopy, a complaint must be filed in the Superior Court and a hearing held before a Judge.
