Re: Staats vs . City of St. Paul
Date: September 9 , 1985
This is a lawsuit commenced by Earl Staats , Jr. , resulting from an
injury he sustained while performing the physical portion of the
firefighter' s examination. Mr. Staats sustained a laceration on
his thigh when he either ran up against or slid down the back of
the fire truck whose rear grill had rusted. He received emergency
medical care.
Mr, Staats has al.leged the City was negligent in inspecting and
maintaining the fire truck to the hazard of firefighter applicants ,
in particular himself.
To eliminate the uncertainty of an adverse jury verdict , this office
apnroves the payment of $500 to Mr. Staats to fully and completely
settle all claims and matters resulting from this accident .
