Often, municipalities are named in lawsuits in an effort to harness the "deep-pocket effect" of municipal insurance. This is seeen most often in road maintenance liability.
Tracy Eso will interview the inimitable Charles Painter of Dolden Wallace Folick LLP, who wrote the book on the Minimum Maintenance Standards couched with years of practical experience as municipal defence counsel.
Topics to be discussed:
- How the new proposed changes to the MMS will affect municipalities.
- How documentation supporting road maintenance and activities can help or sink a municipality's case against liability.
- Creating rock-solid defences for municipalities in road liability situations.
