BRIEF STATEMENT OF THE ACTION
15
This is a personal injury action by Randy Rich, as personal representative of Dr. Ryan
16
17
Rich, D.O. (“Dr. Rich”), deceased, and Nick and Tanya Jensen, as guardians for R.J., a minor.
18
Plaintiffs allege that Dr. Rich died on January 4, 2008 as a result of cardiac arrest induced by the
19
electrical current from a TASER® X26™ electronic control device (“ECD”) that was used during
20
an incident involving Nevada Highway Patrol (“NHP”) Trooper Loren Lazoff (“Trooper Lazoff”)
21
on Interstate 15 (“I-15”) in Las Vegas, Nevada. Plaintiffs sue Defendant TASER International,
22
Inc. (“TASER”), the manufacturer of the ECD, for negligence (Count I) and strict product
23
liability (Count II). Both causes of action are predicated on Plaintiffs’ claim that TASER failed to
24
25
warn about the known risk of discharging its ECDs into the chest of individuals resulting in
26
cardiac arrest, although it knew as early as 2005 as a result of TASER funded research that such a
27
risk existed. Despite this knowledge, Plaintiff’s claim that TASER did not begin to caution police
28
-2-

officers to avoid deployments to the chest and warn about the risks of cardiac arrest as a result of
chest deployments until September, 2009.
3
4
5
TASER denies liability, including that any alleged defect in the ECD or inadequacy of
TASER’s warnings existed or caused Dr. Rich’s death. TASER asserts that even though Dr. Rich
6
knew and was warned not to operate a vehicle because he suffered from uncontrolled epileptic
7
seizures, on January 4, 2008, he drove his vehicle, experienced a seizure while driving, crashed
8
into several vehicles on I-15, and suffered cardiac arrest as a complication of his postictal state.
9
TASER asserts that Plaintiffs cannot establish any hazard or risk caused by the ECD, nor can they
10
establish that TASER breached a duty to warn.
TASER asserts that it provided adequate
11
12
warnings of the potential risks attendant to ECDs. In addition, TASER asserts that as a matter of
13
general causation, an ECD cannot cause the injuries Dr. Rich suffered, and TASER did not know
14
and could not have known or reasonably discovered that its ECD was unreasonably dangerous at
15
all relevant times. TASER also asserts that Plaintiffs cannot demonstrate specific causation.
16
TASER also asserts that Dr. Rich was more at fault for his death than any alleged fault on the part
17
of TASER, and that Rich assumed the risk.
18

VIII. STATEMENT OF JURISDICTION
The Court has diversity jurisdiction over this matter pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1332. The
21
lawsuit is between Plaintiffs, citizens of Idaho and Utah, and TASER, a Delaware corporation
22
23
24
with its principal place of business in Arizona. The amount in controversy exceeds $75,000,
exclusive of costs and fees.

FACTS ADMITTED BY THE PARTIES
The following facts are admitted by the parties and require no proof:
28
-3-
Case 2:09-cv-02450-JCM-NJK Document 136

Filed 02/08/13 Page 4 of 35
1.
As of January 4, 2008, Dr. Rich was a 33-year-old medical resident at Valley
Hospital Medical Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.
3
2.
R.J. was the natural daughter of Dr. Rich and Tanya Jensen.
4
3.
On January 4, 2008, Trooper Lazoff discharged his TASER X26 ECD on Dr. Rich.
5
4.
On September 20, 2007, Dr. Rich had a generalized, witnessed seizure.
6
5.
In 2007, Dr. Rich stated to medical professionals that he had a history of seizures.
7
6.
On November 10, 2007, Dr. Rich was treated at Valley Hospital for an automobile
accident and seizure, noting again a history of a seizure disorder.
7.
Some time shortly before November 2007, Dr. Rich was driving his vehicle and
pulled over to the side of a road, because he felt an imminent seizure and called a
friend to drive him instead.
8.
In the days and months before January 4, 2008, Dr. Rich told his nurse practitioner
that his seizures were increasing.
9.
In late 2007, Dr. Rich’s nurse practitioner instructed him at every visit not to drive
because it was unsafe, including at a visit on January 3, 2008, a day before Dr.
Rich’s death.
10.
On January 4, 2008, Dr. Rich was driving on I-15 when his truck struck the rear of
a semi-truck trailer, after which Dr. Rich’s truck swerved left and collided with a
van.
11.
At the time of Dr. Rich’s collisions with other vehicles on I-15 on January 4, 2008,
the traffic on I-15 was going approximately 50 mph.
12.
After Dr. Rich’s truck collided with other vehicles on I-15, Rich’s truck swerved
to the left and came to rest against the center median, with its front-left tire on the
median wall.
13.
Trooper Lazoff suspected that Dr. Rich was either having a medical emergency or
was under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
14.
In February, 2007, Dr. Rich’s employment with Valley Hospital in Las Vegas,
Nevada was terminated and his medical residency was suspended due to his failure
to appear for his scheduled shift.
15.
After completing the treatment program at the Betty Ford Center, in October 2007,
Dr. Rich was rehired by Valley Hospital in Las Vegas and he was reinstated to the
residency program.
16.
The TASER X26 ECD is a weapon and use-of-force tool used by law enforcement
officers.

NHP purchased X26 ECDs in July 2006 for use by its troopers.
18.
The ECD used by Trooper Lazoff in his encounter with Dr. Rich on January 4,
2008 was purchased by NHP and shipped by TASER to NHP on July 20, 2006.
19.
NHP purchases and trains its troopers on various use-of-force tools and options,
including ECDs.
20.
NHP makes all decisions to equip troopers with ECDs and guides its troopers in
tactical practices.
21.
TASER’s April 12, 2006 Product Warnings were shipped (on July 20, 2006) with
the ECD used by Trooper Lazoff in his encounter with Dr. Rich, along with
TASER’s Training Version 13 DVD, and TASER’s 2006 X26 ECD Operating
Manual.
22.
Trooper Lazoff received extensive training in various use-of-force tools and
options, including ECDs, firearms, open hand combat, batons, and handcuffing.
23.
NHP conducted Trooper Lazoff’s October 20, 2006 and November 20, 2007 ECD
training sessions utilizing TASER’s training materials and PowerPoint
presentations
24.
For his 2006 and 2007 ECD training sessions, Trooper Lazoff was presented with
and trained based on TASER’s Training Version 13 PowerPoint® presentations
(user in 2006 and instructor in 2007).
25.
For his October 20, 2006 ECD user training session, Trooper Lazoff and the other
trainees were presented with “TASER’s Product Warnings – Law Enforcement,
April 12, 2006” as part of the troopers training.
26.
For his November 20, 2007 ECD instructor training session, Trooper Lazoff and
the other trainees were presented with “TASER’s Product Warnings – Law
Enforcement, March 1, 2007” as part of the troopers’ training.

TASER Training Version 14 was released and effective as of December 1, 2007.
28.
On January 4, 2008, Dr. Rich’s first presenting cardiac rhythm, after being
identified non-responsive by Dr. Craig Morris (“Dr. Morris”) and/or Trooper
Lazoff, as identified on a heart or cardiac monitor or defibrillator, or by other
means, was asystole (or flat line).

30.
On January 4, 2008, after Dr. Morris and/or Trooper Lazoff identified Dr. Rich as
being non-responsive, the only cardiac rhythm of Dr. Rich identified by any
medical services or treatment provider was asystole (flat line).
31.
At no time on January 4, 2008, did any medical services or treatment provider to
Dr. Rich identify Dr. Rich as being in cardiac capture, or having the cardiac
rhythm of ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation.
32.
The 1988 Klein/Heger/Zipes [Klein LS, Miles WM, Heger JJ, Zipes DP:
Transcutaneous pacing:
patient tolerance, strength-interval relations, and
feasibility for programmed electrical stimulation. Am J Cardiol. 62:1126-1129,
1988] paper showed that 4-8 milliamperes (“mA”) average current was delivered
to the human chest and caused continuous cardiac capture but that ventricular
fibrillation was never induced.
33.
On January 4, 2008, Dr. Rich suffered from a seizure while driving and remained
in postictal state—an altered state as the brain recovers from a seizure—during his
encounter with Trooper Lazoff.
34.
On March 27, 2008, a post-mortem examination by the Clark County Coroner
determined that “the death of this 33-year-old Caucasian male, Ryan Rich, is due
to seizure disorder with other conditions including restraining procedures.”

4.
Whether TASER sold its X26 ECD without suitable and adequate warnings
concerning its safety and foreseeable use thereby rendering it defective and
unreasonably dangerous for its intended function.
5.
Whether TASER knew or had reason to anticipate that the X26 ECD was
unreasonably dangerous for the use for which it was supplied, had no reason to
believe that those for whose use the product was supplied would realize its alleged
dangerous condition, and failed to exercise reasonable care to inform users of its
products of its alleged unreasonably dangerous condition or of the facts that made
it likely to be unreasonably dangerous.
6.
Whether the X26 ECD used by Trooper Lazoff was the actual and proximate cause
of Dr. Rich’s alleged injuries – that is, but for the allegedly defective warnings, the
injury would not have occurred.
7.
Whether the alleged warning defect with the X26 ECD used by Trooper Lazoff
was a substantial factor in causing the alleged injury, without intervening or
superseding causes.
12
8.
Whether Dr. Rich reasonably mitigated his damages.
13
9.
Whether TASER engaged in malicious or oppressive conduct or consciously and
deliberately disregarded known safety measures regarding the use of its X26 ECD
in reckless disregard of the likely results to justify punitive damages.

the injuries alleged in this case.
4.
Whether Trooper Lazoff misused his X26 ECD in deploying it contrary to
TASER’s instructions and warnings.
5.
Whether the X26 ECD used by Trooper Lazoff was capable of causing the
particular injuries suffered by Dr. Rich on January 4, 2008.
