View this case - free  

Overview: In a wrongful death case, a court's erroneous standard of care instruction relating to a cab driver was reversible error because the jury could have found that the cab driver was driving 20 mph faster than a person exercising utmost caution, or that a person exercising utmost caution would not have been driving at all given the conditions.

Overview: District court's approval of settlement agreement between decedent's children was not consented to by all parties as required by Minn. Stat. § 524.3-1102; daughter, as beneficiary, had to sign, and agreement was invalid without signature. Denial of daughter's family allowance, Minn.
