Southfield, Mich. — January 3, 2019 — David M. Moss, founding partner of Southfield-based civil rights and personal injury law firm Moss & Colella, P.C., announced victory following a December 27, 2018 Michigan Court of Appeals decision in Frank Wojcik v AAA. This is the second victory in the complicated case, where David Moss and Moss & Colella associate attorney Ryan Piekarski previously won a jury trial.
Background:
This is a claim for Personal Injury Protection (“PIP”) benefits under the Michigan No-Fault Act. At 10:00 p.m. on July 28, 2013, Plaintiff Frank Wojcik and his girlfriend and passenger Tiffany Clarke, sustained injuries in a motorcycle accident while traveling northbound on a two-lane roadway in rural Bay County. Wojcik suffered a closed head injury and had no memory of the accident. Clarke testified that just prior to Wojcik losing control, a vehicle approached from behind, passed the bike, and re-entered the lane in front of them, causing Wojcik to lose control, fishtail and flip the bike.
According to Defendant AAA, Wojcik lost control of the motorcycle while entering a left-hand curve immediately prior to the intersection, and then the motorcycle ran off the right side of the road and crashed into a ditch. Defendant AAA further contended that alcohol may have been a factor. More importantly, AAA argued that “this was a single motorcycle accident with no other vehicle ‘involvement.‘” The only “eye-witness” that had seen “headlights” for a split second before the crash admitted that a cornfield obscured his view of the straight part of the road. The witness testified “…[Wojcik] didn’t even come close to making the corner, just went straight” (suggesting that Wojcik was unable to control his bike as he entered the curve in the road). Motor vehicle involvement ultimately became the centerpiece of the trial and the issues presented for appeal.
A Michigan State Trooper arrived on scene and briefly interviewed both the eyewitness and Clarke. Three days later, the trooper interviewed Clarke again. During the interview, Clarke failed to mention another motor vehicle was involved in the accident. Later, she swore in an affidavit that “[a] car rapidly pulled up behind Frank’s motorcycle and then attempted to pass us by pulling around to our left. The car cut back in front of us causing [Wojcik] to brake to avoid contact, which resulted in [him] sliding on the gravel and losing control of the motorcycle.”
Approximately two months later, Clarke submitted a claim for no-fault PIP benefits, alleging it was the other vehicle that caused Wojcik to lose control. The claim was promptly denied by AAA, prompting Clarke and Wojcik to file their lawsuits. Contemporaneously in a separate filing, Clarke filed a negligence lawsuit against Wojcik, claiming that his actions and omissions caused the accident resulting in her injuries.
While the two cases were still separate, Wojcik filed a motion for summary disposition in his case on the issue of motor vehicle involvement, relying on Clarke’s affidavit and contending that no other evidence effectively countered it. The trial court granted the motion, but on Defendant’s interlocutory appeal, the Court of Appeals reversed, concluding that “Clarke’s credibility, in this case, is crucial to determining whether a motor vehicle was involved.” The case was remanded for trial and the jury ultimately rendered a verdict in favor of the plaintiffs. Damages for no-fault PIP benefits and penalty interest were awarded and separate judgments for Clarke and Wojcik were entered pursuant to the verdict.
The Court of Appeal Findings:
Following trial, AAA filed an appeal, arguing that the trial court erred (1) in precluding defense counsel from impeaching Clarke with the allegations she made against Wojcik in her third-party lawsuit, and (2) allowing plaintiff’s counsel to argue that “mere” evidence of motor vehicle involvement was sufficient to entitle the injured motorcyclist to collect no-fault benefits.
The Court of Appeals rejected both arguments. With respect to AAA’s claim that it was wrongfully denied an opportunity to introduce Clarke’s complaint, the court held, “[w]hile defendant claims that the exclusion of evidence regarding Clarke’s legal claims against Wojcik hindered its ability to challenge Clarke’s credibility, particularly with regard to whether an SUV caused the accident giving rise to these appeals, a thorough review of the record, particularly defense counsel’s cross-examination of Clarke, belies the claim.” As for AAA’s claim of “egregious” conduct on the part of Plaintiff’s counsel in suggesting a different standard of proof than that allowed by law, the Court found that the jury was instructed properly on the law. “Jurors are presumed to follow instructions and defendant is therefore hard-pressed to assert that it was prejudiced by any alleged errors or that the alleged errors impacted the outcome of the jury’s verdict.”
Moss & Colella responds:
David M. Moss, counsel for Wocjik, said the key to the trial victory was witness preparation.
“We always knew the case would rise or fall on the testimony of Clarke; therefore, we had to make certain that she was thoroughly prepared for a rigorous cross exam,” Moss said. “While establishing Clarke’s credibility was important, exposing the inexperience of the trooper and the inability of the eye-witness to have actually seen the accident were equally as influential.”
Ryan Piekarski argued the case before the Court of Appeals.
“From the start, the panel was troubled by AAA’s inability to cross-examine Clarke on the allegations in her negligence case; however, I was able to point to numerous places in the record where the defense had the opportunity to challenge her credibility before the jury,” Piekarski said. “Having a precise recollection of the record, in addition to being able to quickly cite to the legal standards and precedent, were crucial to flipping the panel.”

Puebla., Puebla a 25 de Marzo 2012
Obligados a ganar pero conformes con el empate. Un error de Jesús Corona le dio el empate a Puebla quien salió de la racha de 5 derrotas.
Emanuel Villa adelantó, Damarcus Beasley emparejó los cartones. Puebla se mantiene en el décimo sexta posición con 9 puntos, Cruz Azul en el décimo peldaño con 15 unidades.
Para la cabalística jornada 13 ambas escuadras juegan el mismo día y hora, La Franja visita el sábado a las 5 al Querétaro, los Cementeros reciben al San Luis.
Las Incidencias
Puebla recibía al Cruz Azul, ambos urgidos de puntos pero los camoteros más por todo lo acontecido durante la semana. Francisco Chacón sonó el pito y dijo jueguen poblanos y capitalinos. Minutos de estudio pero que la Máquina aprovecho a los 11 minutos. Alejandro Vela recibió servicio filtrado por la banda izquierda y llegando al centro, observó la llegada de Emanuel Villa, mandó una diagonal para que el argentino la guardara en el fondo de las redes poblanas. 1-0 Cruz Azul.
Los del Enrique “El Ojitos” Meza eran mejor que los locales. Los cementeros ganaban las pelotas divididas y tenían la posesión del balón pero no concretaban el segundo. Puebla no veía la forma y pasada de la primera media hora de juego tuvo la primera con su primer disparo a puerta. Alan Zamora tomó la pelota afuera y le metió todo el zapato que obligó a Jesús Corona a volar para desviar a tiro de esquina.
Poco a poco el guardavalla cruzazulino empezó a ser el héroe porque al 34 Luis García, sacó disparo de pierna derecha pero nuevamente Corona se lanzó y desvió a tiro de esquina. Así nos fuimos al descanso.
Para el segundo tiempo ambos salieron con propuesta, Cruz Azul tuvo una con Emanuel Villa pero nada. Al 55 Jesús Corona paso de héroe a villano, el guardameta despejó mal, el esférico le cayó a Rodrigo Salinas, condujo, dio el paso a Luis Ángel Landín, este trianguló a Lucas Silva quién Lucas con la cabeza centró a Damarcus Beasley, el norteamericano se anticipó a Jair Pereira y con la pierna izquierda desvió la caprichosa hacía el fondo para el empate poblano.
Con el empate el juego se abrió solo por unos minutos porque de inmediato Puebla tuvo una con Jaime Durán que centró hacía Landín que remató con la testa pero Adrián Cortés saco en la raya para evitar el 2-1.
El encuentro se vino abajo, la última clara fue de Maranhao al minuto 83, el brasileño recibió de espalda, se dio la media vuelta y metió derechazo que la defensa desvió a tiro de esquina.
Dos minutos después, Cruz Azul se quedó con 10, cuando Emanuel Villa vio la tarjeta roja por darle un cabezazo a Jonathan Lacerda en un cobro de tiro de esquina a favor de los celestes. Al final ni Puebla ni Cruz Azul quisieron hacerse daño y dividieron honores.
Las Declaraciones
Ricardo Henaine, Presidente Puebla: “El equipo hoy jugó diferente tuvimos oportunidad de ganar, fue un empate justo, pero creo que el equipo pudo haber ganado, como siempre las circunstancias, las paradas del arquero contrario, pero bueno, el rendimiento ahí está…”
Daniel Bartolotta, DT. Puebla: “A mí me enseñaron que cuando no se puede ganar se empata, fue un partido muy difícil sobre todo por la situación en la que venía el equipo. Sacamos un puntito más los de abajo no, el equipo dio lo que tenía que dar, cambio de chip, es complicado. Me gusto el funcionamiento del equipo pero en lo físico hay que elevarnos y para ser el primer partido salimos bien librados...”
Enrique Meza, DT. Cruz Azul: “Tenemos muchas posibilidades todavía, estamos ocupando una posición que no quisiéramos, quedan 15 puntos, estamos cercanos de una calificación pero a los líderes es casi imposible…”
Alexandro Álvarez, Portero Puebla: “Era importante sumar y nos da la mentalidad para saber que estamos en un buen rumbo. Para nosotros era más importante el día de hoy el mostrar en la conciencia que teníamos que mostrar dentro del campo y lo hicimos así, al final de cuentas el punto que rescatamos y obtuvimos es justo porque nos faltó mostrar más para obtener más…”
Luis García, Delantero Puebla: “Hemos hecho un esfuerzo grandísimo, sabíamos que en este encuentro nos estábamos jugando prácticamente toda la temporada. Necesitábamos un resultado como éste y ahora podemos mirar con otra cara el resto de los partidos que nos quedan…”
Emanuel Villa, Delantero Cruz Azul: “Quiero pedir perdón por haber dejado con diez a mi equipo hoy, la verdad me siento de la chin… Segundo, el cabezazo no fue en vano, fue en reacción a un manotazo en la cara que recibí segundos antes, cosa que como siempre nadie vio…”
Jesús Corona, Portero Cruz Azul: “En la jugada quise salir rápido y ahí cometo el error y acertaron. Nos ha faltado regularidad tanto en la liga como en la libertadores y estaremos trabajando para ello..."
Luis Ángel Landín, Delantero Puebla: “Cambiamos la mentalidad pero nos faltó el gol, se trabajó pensando en ganar pero no se dio, seguimos con esa presión hasta que se gane y el compromiso sigue aún fuerte…"

one of the international patient safety goals is to reduce the damage caused by medication error.... we have to create new strategies to work this out... this two bottles are practically the same, you can kill someone with both of them if you don't use them in the right way (like any other medication!)
Another video showing the periodic error on one sample of the iOptron SkyTracker. I've measured this error in several ways, it always comes out to somewhere between 85 and 100 arc seconds peak-to-peak.
This image is of the region around the star Mintaka in the constellation of Orion (this star is at declination -17 minutes, much less than one degree from the celestial equator). The images that were used to create this video were captured with a 105mm Nikon lens on a Sony NEX-5N camera. Each of the sub-exposures was 5 seconds long and one image was captured every 10 seconds (or six images per minute).
The image has also been plate-solved and rotated to align with the celestial coordinates, so any left-to-right motion is in R.A. and any up-or-down motion is in Dec. Note how the stars move in parallel with the top and bottom of the frame. This suggests that I had pretty good polar alignment and that almost all of the motion was caused by tracking errors in the SkyTracker.
In any case, when I measured the periodic error I separated out the motions in R.A. and Dec. The 90 arc second error is for R.A. only, there was also a very small error on the declination, amounting to only a few arc seconds. This video covers about one and a half periods on the worm gear in the SkyTracker, so you see the range of motions over a time period that is just over ten minutes (at a 1:1 scale from the original images, or about 9.4 arc seconds per pixel).
Does anybody understand this error message?
I just can't.
I just tried some buit-in scripts when no window is open.
Whooops! Server failure can happen to the best. It’s not fun, and some people may see it as a dissatisfier. However, companies can easily turn this around to be a satisfier, by making the unavoidable 404 page a fun experience. This is what Adidas came up with.
HELPP PLSS!! when I edit any object (wear or rezz) the game crash and appear this error:
[CRASH] I can't edit objects, Error: llmath/llvolume.cpp(371) : LLVolumeOctreeRebound::visit: Empty leaf
anyone know why that is, and how to fix it? Thanks for help!!

Hace unos días me llevé un susto que “me dejó sin gota sangre”, mi 7D se negó a arrancar y en vez de eso lo que hacía nada más ponerle la batería o encenderla era simular en su interior una ráfaga de disparos de un segundo de duración pero el espejo ni el obturador agustinysuscosas.wordpress.com/2015/05/19/error-20-resuel...
So sad. :(
