California Supreme Court Holds That Heirs in a Wrongful Death ...
Summary: California courts have long wrestled with the question of whether a persons agreement to arbitration binds his or her heirs in a later wrongful death action arising out of his or her death. The California Supreme Courts recent decision, Ruiz v. Podolsky, 2010 Cal LEXIS 8292 (Cal. Aug. 23, 2010), settles the issue, at least in cases of medical negligence, in favor of binding heirs to their decedents arbitration agreements in wrongful death actions, provided the arbitration agreements language is sufficiently broad to include claims for wrongful death.

Widow awarded $2 million in wrongful death suit against Gwinnett
The verdict followed three days of testimony about the Dec. 15, 2006, wreck that resulted in Willie Allen Sargent Jr.’s death.
Sargent was trying to turn left into Uncle Woody’s Party Place on U.S. 78 in Snellville when Gwinnett County Police Officer James Stoudenmire’s patrol car collided with his vehicle. At the time, the officer was responding as backup to a suspicious person call in Snellville, traveling between 78 and 80 mph with no emergency flashing lights or sirens, according to the lawsuit.
Attorneys Terry Jackson and Gary Cooper, who represented Sargent's widow, said the death was a tragedy for all involved. Sargent, an electrician who was meeting up with a buddy to hang out that night, was only one to 1 1/2 seconds away from being off the roadway when the impact occurred, Jackson said.
"That is all the time he needed, and this wreck never happens," Jackson said in an emailed statement.
Stoudenmire was reprimanded and suspended after the wreck.
