Christman, Kelley & Clarke, PC resolve multi-million dollar swimming pool case after picking a favorable Monterey County jury

After litigating the matter for many years, including obtaining a reversal of the trial court's dismissal of some defendants in the Sixth District Court of Appeal in Santa Clara, California, Christman, Kelley & Clarke, PC began picking a jury in a remote courthouse in Monterey County. CKC's finesse in the jury selection process revealed a favorable jury which pushed the defendants toward final resolution. All told, CKC collected several million dollars from the general contractor and numerous subcontractors who had constructed a very expensive pool which the property owner could never use. Shortly after construction, a principal subcontractors felt a "tingling" sensation in his hand when he inserted a metal pole into the pool water. That subcontractor told the owner not to use the pool. The contractors committed a fatal error when constructing the pool - they failed to properly establish equipotential bonding of the pool's metal components. Equipotential bonding is the pool's main safety system which prevents deadly electrocutions when voltage may be introduced into the pool by lightning, power lines or other sources. An effective team of top experts in their field assisted CKC's effective representation of the client: -Michael Shotwell, AIA, Sharpsburg, GA 30277 -Michael Sorenson, California Pools - San Gabriel, 3106 E Garvey Avenue South, #A, West Covina, CA 91791 -Douglas R.
