Case Type

Hearing Date / Time

Wed, 06/12/2024 - 08:30

Nature of Proceedings

Minor’s Compromise (Expedited)

Tentative Ruling

Probate Notes:

Appearances required.

The following must be submitted:

1) Adequate documentation that the minor has fully recovered, or is expected to fully recover from the injuries.  The attachments supporting the allegation at paragraph 9 of the petition do not support a finding that the minor will fully recover. The Court needs confirmation of a full recovery, thus current, recent records showing minor suffers no symptoms from the original injury are required.

2) Adequate evidence of sufficient investigation into the solvency of the settling defendant above the policy limits of the settling insurance company must be submitted.  There are no facts alleged that defendant cannot meet a judgment past the policy limits, and evidence on file shows the injury may be more severe than the amount of the settlement will compensate for.
