Activator Methods Lawsuit Ends

Dynamic Chiropractic Staff

In December 2000, Christopher Colloca, DC, filed a lawsuit challenging the ownership of Activator Methods International (AMI). The lawsuit was filed in the Maricopa County Superior Court of Arizona.

On Aug. 13, 2003, the court entered judgments in favor of AMI president Dr. Arlan W. Fuhr and his wife, Judi J. Fuhr, on all of the claims relating to Dr. Colloca's stock purchase agreement. The court also entered verdicts in favor of AMI on several issues related to Dr. Colloca's employment with AMI.

After those verdicts were handed down, the parties settled the remaining claims with no payment of money to the Collocas or their attorneys.

"We're pleased that the nearly three-year-old litigation ended in our favor," commented Dr. Arlan Fuhr, president and co-founder of Activator Methods International. "We are extremely grateful for the support we've received from our friends and family throughout this litigation."

Activator Methods and Dr. Fuhr look forward to continuing to provide chiropractic continuing education seminars and adjusting equipment to chiropractors throughout the world.

Are You Meeting the Chiropractic Standard of Care?

The term standard of care is a legal term and a medical concept. There is no single, universally recognized standard of care document or authoritative reference. The medical concept defines what practitioners should do in practice. The legal term used determines whether a practitioner failed to meet that expectation. This article examines the standard of care for the doctor of chiropractic.
