The First Appellate District just handed down its opinion in Rattary v. Favro. This was a case that I tried for three weeks in April of 2021 with my dad, Skip Walker. After five days of deliberation, the jury returned a verdict that defensed two of our clients and was hung as to our third client.
The Court of Appeal reversed the defense verdict and the matter was remanded for new trial. This is great news for our firefighter clients who, now 11 years into litigation, get another shot at obtaining justice.
On a personal level, I feel a tremendous sense of accomplishment for having been on the appellate team that obtained a favorable, and published, opinion.
If you want to know a bit more about the application of the firefighter's rule, give this a read.
