4 pаges dоuble spаced (1200 wоrds) A pаtient underwent a cоmplex and rare surgery which resulted in complications including permanent paralysis. The doctor that performed the surgery did not think he did anything improper and that the outcome was a normal risk of the procedure. Regardless, he only had a policy with a limits of $1,000,000 and was concerned about a personal exposure due to the extent of the injuries suffered by the patient. Unlike many professional liability policies, his policy gave full control of all settlement decision to the insurance company. The patient hired an attorney who filed suit and submitted a policy limit demand letter. The adjuster recognized that while liability was generally favorable to the insured doctor, a significant injury was sustained by the patient. He noted that if liability were established, a verdict could be well in excess of the policy limit in his file notes. Counsel was retained and represented the insured, doctor, but at the request of the adjuster, never offered an opinion on strategy, case value or the risks associated with the case. The insurance company never extended any offer and did not fully evaluate the damages because it was clear that if they lost on liability, the value of the case was in excess of the policy limit. The case went to trial and a verdict of $3,000,000 was rendered. The doctor then assigned his bad faith claim to the patient and suit was filed against the insurance company. Did the insurance company handle this case properly? Does the insurance company have any liability beyond the $1,000,000 policy limit. Please explain your answer.
4 pаges, dоuble spаced (1200 wоrds) Wоrkers’ Compensаtion is typically the exclusive remedy for recovery when a worker is injured while in the course and scope of employment. You represent an injured employee who works in the warehouse of a manufacturing company. The worker was injured when he was struck from behind by a tow-motor while walking in the aisle of the warehouse. The tow motor was being operated by an intoxicated co-worker who was not trained on how to safely operate it. At one time the aisles in the warehouse were designated as one way for tow motor operators with each aisle having alternating directions. In an effort to improve efficiency, the company recently switched to allow for tow motor traffic to drive in both directions in all aisles. Had the one way aisle policy been in effect, your client would have seen the tow motor coming towards him. In addition you learn that in an effort to save money, the company reduced lighting in the warehouse by 50% and also stopped its random drug and alcohol testing program which had been run by an outside vendor. Under these facts, do you think that your client, the injured worker may be able to obtain a recovery outside of the Workers Compensation system? Why would a worker want to recover outside of the Workers’ Compensation system? What arguments do you anticipate that the company may advance to keep the case within the Workers’ Compensation system?

A lоcаl juice mаnufаcturer distributes juice in bоttles labeled 12 оunces. A government agency thinks that the company is cheating its customers. The agency selects 20 of these bottles, measures their contents, and obtains a sample mean of 11.7 ounces with a standard deviation of 0.7 ounce. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the agency's claim that the company is cheating its customers. List the hypotheses, the critical value(s), the test value (test statistic) and briefly (1-2 sentences) explain why the company is or is not cheating its customers.
