SHULMAN V. GROUP W. PRODUCTIONS, INC. ET AL.
18 Cal.4th 200 (1998)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was an invasion of privacy action. Shulman (P), accident
victims, appealed a judgment, which reversed in part and remanded a summary judgment for
Group (D) on P's claims for invasion of privacy and unlawful intrusion.
FACTS: P was injured in an auto accident and D filmed her trip to the hospital without
her permission. Eventually when P was in the hospital she saw herself on TV. P did not know
that her rescue had been filmed nor did she give her permission to have it air on TV. P sued
for intrusion and public disclosure of private facts. Ps stipulated that auto accidents on
public highways and publicly provided emergency rescue and medical services were both matter
of public interest that constituted public affairs. Thus the trial court granted Ds summary
judgment. The court of Appeals found triable issues as to whether Ds invaded P's privacy.
The supreme court of California then affirmed the dismissal of the private facts part of
both claims and then turned its attention to the intrusion claims.
