A trustee from the jail is threatening suit for a back injury incurred while moving a refrigerator. I seem to recall that there are some defenses built in for these suits, but do not remember them.

All I have so far is the letter from counsel outlining the cause of the injury, claiming a severe, debilitating injury and so forth. (Rumor is that if the DA would drop charges, the back would improve dramatically.......)

Thanks!

Perhaps you are thinking of CCP Art. 42.20, "Immunities"?

Thank you Shannon - now, why couldn't I find that one??

An extra box of cookies or fudge for you at the next seminar!

Lisa - you might also want to take a look at City of Lubbock v. Angie Land, 33 S.W.3d 357 (Tex. App. -- Amarillo, 2000.) Good luck!
