Raymond Zukaitis was a physician practicing medicine in Douglas County, Nebraska. Aetna issued a policy of professional liabilit

y insurance to Zukaitis through its agent, the Ed Larsen Insurance Agency. The policy covered the period from August 31, 2006, through August of the following year. On August 7, 2008, Dr. Zukaitis received a written notification of a claim for malpractice that occurred on September 27, 2006. Dr. Zukaitis notified the Ed Larsen Insurance Agency immediately and forwarded the written claim to them. The claim was then mistakenly referred to St. Paul Fire and Marine Insurance Company, the company that currently insured Dr. Zukaitis. Apparently without notice to Dr. Zukaitis, the agency contract between Larsen and Aetna had been canceled on August 1, 2007, and St. Paul had replaced Aetna as the insurancecarrier. However, when St. Paul discovered it was not the carrier on the date of the alleged wrongdoing, it notified Aetna and withdrew from Dr. Zukaitis's defense. Aetna also refused to represent Dr. Zukaitis, contending that it was relieved of its obligations to Dr. Z because he had not notified Aetna immediately of the claim. Dr. Z then secured his own attorney to defend against the malpractice claim and brought an action against Aetna to recover attorneys' fees and other expenses incurred in the defense. Should Dr. Z recover? Explain.

Answer: The physician is being sued. Insurance company should provide an attorney. If the doctor is negligent, insurance company should pay (that's why we have premiums). Dr. Z is sued, goes to agency, and notifies the agency. The agency doesn't notify Aetna in right amount of time, and also notifies the wrong company. Aetna doesn't have a liability because they were not notified in a timely manner. Larson is agent to Aetna. A principal's notice to agent=notice to principal. That's the same as notifying Aetna according to its claims procedure. This is not Dr.Z's problem. Aetna is wrong in denying coverage, and Dr.Z will succeed and not have to pay.

Explanation:

GPS to help law enforcement recover stolen vehicles, there are many ways law enforcement agencies can implement GPS tracking to help prevent theft, stop crime, and catch criminals.

GPS tracking can also be used for tracking those under house arrest or for enforcing restraining orders. Convicted criminals serving time under house arrest can wear a tamper-resistant, GPS-enabled ankle cuff.

Some states have specific laws that allow judges and law enforcement to use technology in ways that are intended to protect victims of domestic violence. For example, law enforcement and courts can use Global Positioning Systems (GPS) technology to track offenders who have committed domestic violence and stalking.

7. how do power dynamics change when people become active<br> citizens?
Goryan [66]

Explanation:

Citizen participation

More and more people are taking the initiative to make their local neighbourhood more liveable, for instance by helping to maintain playgrounds or green spaces. As a result, the relationship between government and society is changing.

Citizen participation

Many people feel a sense of commitment to their neighbourhood and are actively involved in activities to improve the quality of life there. This is called ‘citizen participation’. For example, local residents engage in voluntary work, organise litter-clearing campaigns, set up collectives to purchase solar panels or form local care cooperatives. They may also be involved in the decision-making about the municipal budget.

Government participation

As local residents become more involved in public life, the role of government needs to adapt and take greater account of initiatives in the community. This is called 'government participation'. It means local authorities playing a more supportive role, for instance by providing facilities or making them available. In addition, municipalities can use neighbourhood budgets to help residents get things done in their area.

Do-ocracy: new ways for citizens and government to work together

Active citizens don't want the government to provide standard solutions for everything. They prefer a tailor-made approach and authorities that think along with them. So citizens and government are devising new ways of relating to each other and working together – in what is often called a 'do-ocracy'. Central government is keen to promote and support this form of democratic collaboration.

Government support for citizen participation

The government can support citizen participation in various ways, for instance by abolishing unnecessary rules and regulations wherever possible. Like the complex application procedures volunteers sometimes have to contend with to obtain funding for their activities.

klio [65]

Answer:

Correct Answer:

E. That the manufacturer did not give a sample or a model of the seeds.

Explanation:

As an attorney of the manufacturer, the best argument in the case between my client and the seed buyer, Joe would be on the fact that, the manufacturer did not give a sample or model of the seeds to Joe to verify if it meets his requirements.

<em>Also, Joe never requested to see sample of the seeds as was standard with buying of agricultural products.</em>
