Congratulations to Kevin Osterberg and Steve Caine for their published Opinion from the Court of Appeal in the case of Marcelino M. Paniagua vs. Orange County Fire Authority, a case that they have been handling for the Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA) since 1999. This was their second trip to the Court of Appeal on this case. The Opinion is attached.
The Court of Appeal affirmed, in full, the Orange County Superior Court's granting of our Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings on statute of limitations grounds prior to Trial. The Superior Court had previously denied our Motion for Summary Judgment based upon Health & Safety Code immunities for emergency services personnel providing emergency medical services, and Paniagua's refusal of transportation and medical treatment at the scene.
