On-the-job accidents became much more frequent as factories rapidly replaced farms and rail- roads were built to span the continent. Reformers and labor advocates fought for injured workers in state legislatures and courtrooms.1 The judiciary had always had a reputation for favoring corporate defendants,2 but reformers lobbied to expand tort liability and abrogate employers’ legal immunities.

Previously, he was president and CEO of Minyard Food Stores Inc. and served in a number of senior management positions during his 25 years with the Delhaize Group. "We are excited to be partnering with Mike and the entire Fiesta team," Ken Brotman, a founding partner of ACON, said in a press release.

  • Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
    REVERSE and RENDER; and Opinion Filed November 19, 2014. S In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-13-00034-CV JAMES LERMON, Appellant/Cross-Appellee V. MINYARD FOOD STORES, INC., AND RODNEY LEE, Appellees On Appeal from the County Court at Law No. 1 Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. CC-10-02955-A MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices O’Neill, Lang-Miers, and Evans Opinion by Justice O’Neill James Lermon sued Minyard Food Stores and Rodney Lee (collectively Minyard) for malicious prosecution, negligence, and gross negligence. A jury found in Lermon’s favor on all claims and awarded Lermon $830,000 in actual damages and $115,000 in punitive damages on his malicious prosecution claim and $175,000 in actual damages and $1 million in punitive damages on his negligence and gross negligence claims. The trial court rendered judgment on Lermon’s malicious prosecution claim. In his appeal, Lermon contends the trial court erred in failing to enter judgment on the jury findings affording him the greatest recovery. In its cross-appeal, Minyard contends the evidence is both legally and factually insufficient to support Lermon’s claims for malicious prosecution, negligence, and gross negligence. It also challenges the jury’s award of actual and punitive damages. We conclude the evidence is legally insufficient to support the jury’s verdict on Lermon’s claims. Accordingly, we reverse the trial court’s judgment and render judgment that Lermon take nothing. Background At 4:11 a.m. on September 4, 2006, $76,000 was stolen from the safe of a Carnival grocery store owned by Minyard.

    Market Feasibility Analysis of Bruton Road Apartments 9415 Bruton Road Dallas, Dallas County, Texas 75217 for Texas Department of Housing & Community Affairs 211 East 11th Street Austin, Texas 78701 Commissioned By: Ms. Ana Padilla The NRP Group, LLC 5309 Transportation Boulevard Cleveland, Ohio 44125 Effective Date November 11, 2013 Job Reference Number 9347JT The Dallas Police Department has a station 4.3 miles southeast of the site. Southeast Dallas Health Center is 2.5 miles south of the site. The local fire station is 0.1 miles south of the site along St. Augustine Road. 5. Overall Site Evaluation The proposed site is located directly northwest of two moderately to heavily traveled arterial routes in southeast Dallas, St. Augustine Road and Bruton Road. This location should enhance the marketability of the site due to the excellent visibility and significant exposure that the location affords. Numerous residential land uses are in proximity to the site, including two existing LIHTC properties, St. Augustine Estates and Crestshire Village, both of which are in excellent condition. The surrounding land uses will have a positive impact on the marketability of the site. The site is within proximity to shopping, employment, recreation, entertainment and education opportunities. Public safety services are within 4.3 miles of the site. Schools for all grade levels, parks, a grocery store, discount stores, specialty retailers and restaurants are less than 1.5 miles from the site. The site has convenient access to major highways. Overall, we consider the site’s location and proximity to community services to have a positive impact on its marketability.
