This time Federico Songco's private jeepney carried Plate No. J-68136-Pampanga-1961. On October 29, 1961, during the effectivity of the renewed policy, the insured vehicle while being driven by Rodolfo Songco, a duly licensed driver and son of Federico (the vehicle owner) collided with a car in the municipality of Calumpit, province of Bulacan, as a result of which mishap Federico Songco (father) and Rodolfo Songco (son) died, Carlos Songco (another son), the latter's wife, Angelita Songco, and a family friend by the name of Jose Manuel sustained physical injuries of varying degree." 1 Amor Songco, son of deceased Federico Songco, declared that when insurance agent Benjamin Sambat was inducing his father to insure his vehicle, he butted in saying: 'That cannot be, Mr. Sambat, because our vehicle is an "owner" private vehicle and not for passengers,' to which agent Sambat replied: 'whether our vehicle was an "owner" type or for passengers it could be insured because their company is not owned by the Government and the Government has nothing to do with their company. So they could do what they please whenever they believe a vehicle is insurable

    IRC § 165(a). Joe never allowed the insurance company an opportunity to cover this expense. In Bartlett v. United States, 397 F.Supp. 216 (D. Md.1975), the court disallowed a casualty loss deduction for damage to a personal automobile where the taxpayer declined to file an insurance claim although the taxpayer had a valid collision insurance policy. The court stated that the “economic loss the taxpayer sought to deduct did not arise from the causality, but rather arose from the taxpayer’s voluntary election not to claim or receive insurance proceeds to which the taxpayer was…

    Facts. On the morning of August 31, 1986, Theresa Estrada left her home near Cerritos, California, to go shopping at a nearby grocery store. She left her husband at home reading the newspaper, and her three children were still in bed. Returning from the store, Estrada saw, heard, and felt a big explosion. Within minutes, she maneuvered her way through burning homes, cars, and debris to find her home engulfed in flames. Her husband and children died in the house. Although she did not know it at the time, an Aeromexico passenger airplane had crashed into her home after colliding with a privately owned plane. Estrada suffered severe emotional distress from the incident. She sued for the wrongful death of her family. Aeromexico was found not responsible for the accident. The jury found the private pilot 50 percent liable, and the United States 50 percent liable because air traffic controllers had failed to detect the private plane's intrusion into commercial airspace and give a traffic advisory to the Aeromexico flight. The jury awarded Estrada $5.5 million for the death of her family and $1 million for negligent infliction of emotional distress. The U.S. government appealed the $500,000 judgment against it for negligent infliction of emotional distress.…

After the arrest, Sandoval would have been book and then gone to his first appearance hearing where he is informed that he was getting charged with first-degree murder. Next would be the preliminary hearing where the defense would have received an arraignment, formally charging the suspect of the crime and asking what his plea is. Some states do not have a preliminary hearing system so they would use a grand jury system. The defendant can plea guilty, not guilty or no contest. The prosecution must establish probable cause to the judge by showing that a crime occurred and that the accused cause that…
