LAPIN LAW OFFICES HIGHLIGHTS
In terms of newsworthy cases, Lapin Law Offices was extremely proud of its efforts in representing the Estate of Joyce Meeks in its claims against the State of Nebraska and other defendants. Our representation began in 2013 and concluded in 2014. Lapin Law Offices was co-counsel with Chicago attorney Timothy Cavanagh of Cavanagh Law Group. Jeremy Dobbe killed Joyce Meeks in a vehicle crash in 2013. Mr. Dobbe was driving a Nebraska Department of Corrections van, under the Inmate Van Driver Program, at the time of the fatal crash. This Program permitted inmates to drive a correctional facility-owned vehicle. On June 25, 2013, while Dobbe was driving the vehicle, possibly under the influence of an illegal drug, crashed the van into a vehicle driven by Joyce Meeks at the intersection of Van Dorn and South 18th Streets in Lincoln, Nebraska. Joyce Meeks was married to Leonard Meeks, had three children, and was caring for three of her grandchildren. She died at the scene. Shortly after the crash, Nebraska’s Governor, Dave Heineman, terminated the Inmate Van Driver Program.

The Tort Claim was filed on July 18, 2013. After six months had expired, as required by the Act, a lawsuit was initiated as the State of Nebraska failed to act on the Tort Claim. The parties agreed to mediate the case in an effort to get it resolved. Ultimately, the parties agreed to settle the Tort Claim for $2 million dollars. District Court approval was obtained on April 10, 2014, and Legislative Bill 949, in the 103rd Legislature, was passed on March 24, 2014, and approved by the Governor on March 29, 2014. Local news did a number of articles and stories about Joyce Meeks death, Mr. Dobbe and the Inmate Driving Program and other information.
