Defense noted that Guadara was outside the crosswalk. The evidence showed some of her pain could have been caused by shingles and a post accident fracture.

When DNI's driver delivered the lift to the site, he instructed Luso employees to drive the lift up a ramp. Rodriguez, though not a Luso employee, was one of the few workers on site who spoke English and he agreed. As he drove, the lift slid, crushing his right foot.

The jury found DNI 75 percent liable and Rodriguez 25 percent liable on the theory that he should not have been driving. The jury no-caused Luso.

Rodriguez's estate sued their primary care physician Jodi Abramowitz and a consulting cardiologist Mahesh Ghayal. The jury found that for the 14 months Rodriguez was her patient, Abramowitz failed to diagnose his coronary artery disease. At one point, she diagnosed him as suffering from malignant hypertension yet sent him home.

But the jury also found Rodriguez 20 percent liable for having delayed a visit to the cardiologist for six weeks after Abramowitz told him to go.

The lawsuit was brought by a former welder who suffers arm tremors and other movement problems that he says could be Parkinson's. Ernest G. Solis, 57, of Corpus Christi, is seeking unspecified damages from four welding rod makers.

It is the first trial among about 3,800 lawsuits from around the country that have been consolidated in federal court in Cleveland. Solis' case could set the ground rules for the other lawsuits.

At issue is whether manganese — a chemical element found in vitamin supplements, tea, nuts and grain, as well as the fumes from burning welding rods — can at high exposures lead to tremors or shaking, poor balance and difficulty walking and swallowing.

Companies that make welding equipment argue that a link between fumes and Parkinson's has not been established, and that in any case, warning labels and welding safety equipment minimize any risk.

The boy, Thomas Yoon, was returning home from Buckland Park with his sister and a baby sitter when he was hit by a vehicle on Oct. 6, 2005. The driver and the baby sitter are also defendants in the suit, which was filed in State Supreme Court last week.

On May 30, a traffic light was installed at the location and a sidewalk was added. State, county and town officials were present for the unveiling.

But at the time of the accident, people had to weave through traffic to get across the street or walk along with traffic to get to the next crosswalk.

The boy's injuries include a traumatic brain injury, bilateral pulmonary contusion and paralysis and severe atrophy of the left calf muscle.

The suit, which asks for an unspecified amount of damages, claims that the "intersection, roadway, path, and area was also improperly designed, improperly constructed, improperly maintained, and the municipal defendants failed to correct a known dangerous condition."

During the planning process, the town did request that a traffic signal be added near the park, said Brighton Supervisor Sandra Frankel. However, Westfall Road is a county road, which means the county has the final say, she said.

A jury in Stamford Superior Court said Friday that the town and Officer Andrew Kelly were liable for a 2002 crash in which James Peterson, 21, suffered pelvic fractures and other injuries.

The jury found that Kelly failed to show due regard for other drivers while responding to a report of a traffic accident. An attorney representing the town said he did not yet know whether an appeal would be filed.

Kelly's police cruiser, with lights and sirens activated, struck the driver's side door of Peterson's car as Peterson attempted to make a left turn at an intersection.

After the accident, police cited Peterson for failure to yield the right of way to an emergency vehicle and failure to grant the right of way at a stop sign.

Peterson's suit contended that Kelly's speed was so excessive that there was no reasonable expectation that the police car's approach could have been seen.
