No Injuries in Fire at Universal Studio Beetlejuice Show
Firefighters responding to a call doused a small fire that started backstage at one of Universal Orlando’s resorts recently. A spokesperson for Universal Orlando said that the incident was a “small pyro fire,” that could have been caused by a malfunctioning part of the pyrotechnics display during the performance of a resort attraction called Beetlejuice’s Graveyard Revue. Firefighters were called to the scene as a precaution, and the fire did not cause any major damage or interrupt the show’s schedule.
Orlando Woman Struck By Five Vehicles on Interstate 4
A 25-year-old Orlando woman struck by five vehicles while walking across Interstate 4 in Volusia County on February 15 died from her injuries, according to Florida Highway Patrol accident investigators. Troopers said a truck, SUV and tractor-trailer all struck the woman after she was in a single-vehicle accident nearby. They said the woman had experienced an accident in the westbound lanes of I-4 near Deltona and was trying to get help when she was struck and killed by the vehicles. Orlando personal injury lawyer James O. Cunningham would like to remind everyone that if your car breaks down on a busy street or highway, you should remain in your vehicle until the police arrive.
Nissan Recalls Over 604,000 XTerra, Sentra and Frontier Models
Nissan North America has announced a recall for 604,500 of its XTerra, Sentra and Frontier models primarily sold in the U.S. to fix problems with battery cables and steering columns. Nissan has recalled 303,000 of its popular Frontier trucks and 283,000 XTerra SUVs to replace a lower steering column joint and shaft. The recall also affects 18,500 Sentra sedans, which will have positive battery cable terminals replaced.
Personal Injury Law: Vicarious Liability
Vicarious liability is also known as a secondary liability, which in non-technical language means that a person in charge is liable for the acts of someone who is a subordinate. In legalese, vicarious liability describes the responsibility of someone that has the “right, ability or duty to control” the activities of someone who caused injury of some kind to another person. The most easily accessible example of vicarious liability is an employer being vicariously liable for the acts of an employee who is “on the clock.” However, as you might guess, it’s not as simple as that. Many different factors come into consideration when determining vicarious liability. Orlando personal injury lawyer James O. Cunningham can explain these factors in detail during a consultation and answer any other questions you may have.
Mr. Cunningham is an excellent and knowledgeable attorney.
