Herrmann Law Group files suit - Man shot, killed by officers in Clackamas County was denied aid; Body mocked, mutilated.

MILWAUKIE Ore. (KPTV) — A new civil rights lawsuit has been initiated against Clackamas County deputies and an Oregon State Patrol officer in the aftermath of a fatal shooting last June.

The lawsuit, brought by lawyers representing the family, seems to reveal details that were not part of the initial story told by police.

According to court documents, Derrick Clark, the man who was shot and killed, was allegedly left lying on the ground for two hours after the incident, while numerous nearby officers failed to provide aid.

The lawsuit alleges that:

“Rather than provide Mr. Clark with medical care, the law enforcement officers proceeded to laugh, make jokes, refer to Mr. Clark as an animal and a boy, launch explosives at his motionless body, and released a police dog to bite his body.”

Herrmann Law Group files suit against Boeing

SEATTLE - A Seattle law firm representing family members of victims killed when a Boeing 737-500 crashed in the Java Sea in January has filed a lawsuit against the airline manufacturer.

On Jan. 9, 2021, a Boeing 737-524 was flying from Jakarta, Indonesia, to Pontianak, Indonesia, when it crashed five minutes after departing from the Soekarno-Hatta International Airport.

None of the 62 people on board survived. It's unknown what caused the plane to crash, but early investigations reveal it may have had something to do with an auto-throttle system.

On March 23, 2020, the 26-year-old Boeing plane was parked due to the coronavirus pandemic. Hundreds of other 737 planes around the world were parked as well, which created an unprecedented challenge for maintenance, Seattle firm Herrmann Law Group said in a news release.

"This is a major public safety issue. As the manufacturer of the plane, Boeing has an ongoing duty to warn airlines and instruct airlines to help them keep the planes safe. In this instance, you have at least two problems where Boeing failed to give adequate warnings and instructions. Number one, the parking of the planes during this pandemic and number two, the repeated problems with the auto throttle," said Mark Lindquist, lead attorney on the case for the Herrmann Law Group.

The auto-throttle system in the 737-500 planes is different from the now-famed MCAS system in the 737 MAX jets, which was blamed for two deadly crashes in Ethiopia and Indonesia and forced the grounding of MAX jets worldwide.

Washington Deputies Fired 34 Rounds in Fatal Shooting

Washington deputies fired 34 rounds in the fatal shooting of an armed suspect that sparked violent protests last month — so many that they mistakenly thought he was firing back at them, according to reports.

An investigation showed three Clark County deputies shot 21-year-old Kevin Peterson Jr. when he fled a drug-dealing sting in Hazel Dell on Oct. 29, aiming a semi-automatic handgun at them, according to The Columbian.

A lawyer representing the family, Lara Herrmann, called for an apology for the initial public statements that Peterson Jr. had shot at the officers.

“When law enforcement makes a false accusation, as they did in the shooting of Kevin, it’s heartbreaking for the family,” Hermann said in a statement to both papers.

Other lawyers for the family also challenged the suggestion that he had posed a lethal threat. “Nobody should die over a fistful of Xanax,” Mark Lindquist, another lawyer for the family, told The Columbian. Detectives were trying to arrest him for the sale of 50 Xanax pills.

Herrmann Law Group files lawsuit in Seattle Chinatown Crash

Herrmann Law Group filed a lawsuit on Nov. 5 on behalf of three people injured when a car crashed into the Dim Sum King restaurant in Seattle’s Chinatown-International District.

The three plaintiffs were on the sidewalk and about to step into Dim Sum King when the driver of a Toyota Camry jumped the curb and ran into them on Oct. 22.

One victim was pushed into the restaurant with the car. He was knocked unconscious and suffered severe injuries, which were initially characterized as “life-threatening.” Seattle Fire Department units rushed him to Harborview Medical Center, where he was in intensive care for more than a week. The 30-year-old victim, an immigrant from China, is still in ICU at Harborview.
