Lawyer Case History

Beachum v. White, WL 3185152 (2013)

Estate of passenger, who died after jumping from driver's vehicle while arguing with him, brought action against driver.  The West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals ruled it was inadmissible hearsay to play the video-recorded interview of the Defendant by the Sheriff in rebuttal to Plaintiff’s case.

Sparks v. Groves, WL 3184920 (2013)

Plaintiff brought action after his home-constructed dune buggy was rear-ended by pickup truck.  Mr. Mohler obtained a jury verdict in favor of the defendant, and convinced the Circuit Court to deny Plaintiff’s Motion for a new trial.  Jury verdict was upheld by West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals, and found the testimony by the deputy sheriff that a dune buggy was not roadworthy due to improper lighting was proper testimony.

Courtney v. Elias, 2012 WL 3055448 (2012)

Plaintiff brought suit pursuant to the family purpose doctrine against father of driver whose vehicle struck Plaintiff’s.  Mr. Mohler obtained summary judgment in favor of the father, which was upheld by the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals.

State Farm v. McClanahan, 229 W.Va. 73, 726 S.E.2d 41 (2011)

Judgment appealed to West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals on issue of how to properly calculate prejudgment interest on a judgment or decree.  The West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals ruled previous payments are to be offset prior to calculation of prejudgment interest.
