Barr, Sternberg, Moss, Lawrence, Silver, Saltonstall & Fenster, P.C. has represented clients in matters that established legal precedent on several fronts: In Vince v. Wilson, the firm established new law in Vermont and the nation on the issue of negligent entrustment of an automobile. This case now appears in law school textbooks throughout the country. In Debus v. Grand Union, the firm broke new legal ground in Vermont by persuading our Supreme Court to allow lawyers to argue that a jury may award damages for pain and suffering and lost enjoyment of life for each day of pain and loss. In National Audubon Society v. Hoffman, a landmark case in environmental law, Mr. Saltonstall stopped the United States Forest Service from clear-cutting vital bear and songbird habitat in the Green Mountain National Forest. In Heekin v. Bennett Truck Transport, the firm won a $1.2 million settlement after three days of trial in federal court in a wrongful death case involving a collision between an elderly motorist and a mobile home which was blocking the highway as it was being towed out of a parking lot, even though the decedent-driver had undergone corneal transplants and was driving to his eye doctor’s office when the crash occurred. In Gladstone v. Stuart Cinemas, the Vermont Supreme Court agreed with the firm and made new law which prevents business owners from avoiding their legitimate debts by the device of simply abandoning their corporations forming new ones. |
