Personal Injury News & Information How Negligence Affects Personal Injury Cases by noreply@blogger.com (Personal Injury News) 16 May 2012 at 3:03pm If you have questions about personal injury or believe you may have a case, negligence is a key aspect in this area of law. Therefore it stands to reason that you will probably have many questions regarding what negligence is and how it will affect your case. First of all, individuals are required to conduct themselves in a certain way. When their actions fail to meet up with this standard, they could be charged with negligence. If it can be proven that the person has violated these standards, they could be held responsible for any injuries or property damage that resulted. Negligence could occur in a car accident, medical malpractice, or premises liability case, any case where an individual owed a duty of care but failed to uphold this duty. In order to prove a premises liability case, there are five main things that will have to be established. First, the victim must have been owed a duty of care by the defendant. Second, that duty must have been breached. The next element is that the breach of duty had a direct correlation to the victim?s injuries and fourth is that the harm was reasonably foreseeable. Not only this, but there must be financial damages that occurred, whether economically or emotionally. If you believe that you have a personal injury case that meets these above criteria, the next stage will be proving it. Most cases have one of two types of evidence. Direct evidence means that there were eyewitness accounts, videos, photographs, or other evidence that showed plainly who was at fault. Circumstantial evidence may be more difficult to prove as it includes an inference from the facts to the conclusion. If you have questions regarding personal injury and negligence, please contact a New Hampshire personal injury lawyerfrom the team at Mulvey Professional Association. With over 30 years of experience, they have what it takes to handle even the most complex case. Philly Duck Boat Crash Lawsuit Ends in $17 Million Settlement by noreply@blogger.com (Personal Injury News) 11 May 2012 at 2:49pm After two days of testimony in what was expected to be a trial lasting at least a month, the families of two Hungarian students killed in a tugboat accident on the Delaware River have agreed to a settlement in the case. Szabolcs Prem, 20, and Dora Schwendtner, 16, were visiting the U.S. with a group of students through a church exchange program in July of 2010. The group were touring on the Delaware River on July 7, of that year when their amphibious sightseeing boat, called a duck boat, was slammed by tugboat-guided barge. The duck boat capsized and dozens of people were thrown into the fast-moving Delaware river. The two victims drowned. Their families filed wrongful-death lawsuits against Ride the Ducks, of Norcross, Ga., which operated the tour boat and K-Sea Transportation, of East Brunswick, N.J., which operated the tugboat guiding the barge upriver. In a surprise announcement, the judge in the case approved a $17 million settlement in the case. The families of the two victims will split $15 million while the 18 surviving passengers will split $2 million. Attorney Robert Mongeluzzi, who represents the victims' families, released a statement regarding the settlement on behalf of the families. He said they family members were already on a plane back to Hungary and didn?t even know the settlement had been reached. Once made aware he said, "The families are deeply grateful to the court for recognizing that their children were important and did not deserve to die in vain." Traumatic Brain Injuries by noreply@blogger.com (Personal Injury News) 11 May 2012 at 10:59am What is a traumatic brain injury? After an accident, victims can suffer from numerous different types of serious injuries. From spinal cord injuries to burns to paralysis, the victim?s life could be changed forever. One of the most devastating types of injuries however is traumatic brain injuries. Not only do they have severe physical ramifications, but they can affect the victim?s personality and ability to reason as well. A traumatic brain injury is any type of damage to the brain that was acquired through some sort of trauma rather than through a disease. Examples of how this could be sustained include: violent shaking, damage to the skull, or the brain being jolted inside the skull. Incidents such as traffic accidents and slip and falls are common ways that victims are left with this type of injury. Sometimes the signs or symptoms of a brain injury do not become apparent for days after the injury. Knowing this, anyone who suspects they may have been injured in this way needs to seek immediate medical attention to ensure that they get treatment as soon as possible. Some possible symptoms to look out for include: headaches, dizziness, blurred vision, behavioral changes, and more. These can worsen over time if the injury is not treated. In approximately half of all cases, patients who have sustained brain injuries need surgery in order to remove or repair the brain tissue that was damages. Some people are able to recover without too much long-term damage; however, others have to live with severe ramifications. They may encounter problems with thinking and reasoning, personality and behavioral chances, coma, or a persistent vegetative state. Many individuals need permanent care and long-term medical attention and it could be in their best interests to file a lawsuit in order to get het compensation to cover this. By talking to a New Yorkmedical malpractice attorney from the Law Offices of Joseph M. Lichtenstein, PC, you could get help in holding the guilty party responsible. Eight Year Old Boy Crashes Car into House by noreply@blogger.com (Personal Injury News) 10 May 2012 at 3:42pm You can tell just by looking at the traffic report each day, the amount of car accidents in the Boston is significant. The city alone has hundreds of thousands of residents, making the streets more crowded with public transportation, trucks and cars. While there are many benefits to living in the city, one set back can be the traffic and the danger of driving with so many others around you. It is common sense that more people often can mean a greater number of accidents. This is certainly the case in the city. In one recent event it was not your usual driver that was responsible for an accident involving a car. An eight year old boy was found behind the wheel after a BMW went crashing onto the porch of a neighbor?s home nearby. The incident happened shortly before 8:30 in the morning. Reports state that it was the mother?s car, but no names are being released yet. Fortunately there were no injuries that resulted from the incident; however, the damages to the home are expected to cost around $80,000. An official estimated that the car was probably traveling around 30 mph when it backed out of the house and drove between parked cars, before slamming into the house across the street. While the boy was not injured during the accident, he was still brought to the hospital to be certain he had not suffered any damage. When an accident occurs it can leave those involved suffering a number of unfortunate side effects. In many cases, the party that is responsible can come away without damages, while innocent bystanders are the ones that are hurt the most. Some may be lucky enough to walk away unharmed while others may deal with life-long difficulty as a result. In some of the most difficult cases, even a wrongful death can occur. Those that are injured may face excruciating pain, debilitations in daily life, physical disfigurations and more. Those that are injured in a car accident may need medical attention and can often be brought to the hospital immediately after the event. The costs of an accident can be extensive. Not only is there the cost of repair to the vehicles or property, medical bills can be unbelievably high and may include a hospital stay, repeated visits, physical therapy and more. There is no telling what the cost of healing will be for those that suffer from the incident. If you have been involved in a car accident that has left you dealing with the negative effects, a Boston, MA personal injury attorney from the Law Offices of Martin D. Finkel, P.C. can fight to gain you necessary compensation in your case. Call the firm for a professional to review your claim free of charge.

Virginia Woman Says Hit-and-Run Death was an Accident by noreply@blogger.com (Personal Injury News) 9 May 2012 at 2:31pm A 32-year-old woman was charged with a felony hit-and-run by Fairfax County police and is being held without bond after the fatal accident occurred on Friday. The woman had a child and an adult passenger in her SUV when she got into an encounter with another driver while driving on Harrison Lane. The women both stopped and got out of their cars to talk. At some point, the woman charged with hit-and-run got back into her vehicle and drove away, striking the other woman. The two women were apparently strangers and police will not say what they think sparked the argument between them. It is unclear whether the 21-year-old victim died from slipping or falling, but she was struck by the SUV. The woman who has been charged with the hit and run has previous convictions of grand larceny and larceny for stealing from Wal-Mart and Target back in 2007, and has been convicted of numerous misdemeanor driving offenses as well. She agreed to turn herself in when the police contacted her after obtaining her license plate number. The family of the victim is shocked and stunned and may choose to seek justice on the behalf of their loved one through a wrongful death claim. Wrongful death claims can be filed by the immediate family of an accident victim and a Virginia wrongful death attorney can assist the family throughout the process of filing a claim.

Primary Causes of Spinal Cord Injuries by noreply@blogger.com (Personal Injury News) 8 May 2012 at 6:26pm Some of the most painful and permanent injuries that an individual can suffer happen along the spinal cord. Spinal cord injuries can be temporary or permanent, but they lead to a change in the normal sensory, motor or autonomic function and often lead to neurologic deficits and disabilities. The two major types of spinal cord injuries include tetraplegia, which is associated with loss of muscle strength in all four extremities, and paraplegia, which is injury in the spinal cord in the thoracic, lumbar or sacral segments. The extent of damage that can occur in a spinal cord injury is dependent on three factors: the region of the spinal cord to which the injury occurred, the severity of the injury and the type of nerve that is damaged. Injury to the spinal cord most commonly occurs for contusion or compression injuries. Contusion injuries can be the result of a slip and fall accident or another incident that causes the bruising of the spinal cord because of a blow or fall. Compression injuries can be caused by an external or internal force that causes some form of increased pressure. Car accidents and swimming pool accidents are some of the most commonly reported cases of spinal cord injuries throughout the country. When a victim suffers complete spinal cord damage, they will have no sensation or control of movement in the areas innervated by the injured region. Thankfully, a large percentage of spinal cord injuries are temporary and last only one or two days. When you suffer this type of injury because of the negligence or carelessness of another person, you may be able to seek compensation for your medical expenses, pain and suffering and more.

Offshore Explorations More Dangerous Now, Industry Experts Say by noreply@blogger.com (Personal Injury News) 8 May 2012 at 1:27pm An audience poll at the Offshore Technology Conference in Houston this week showed that at least 80% of respondents believe the offshore industry is taking on more risks as it ventures into deeper waters in search of new oil and gas sources. Group consensus appeared to be that higher pressures and extreme temperatures in these new environments are bound to cause more accidents. As the easier-to-reach oil fields become depleted, explorers in the Gulf of Mexico and all around the world must travel to harder to reach locations, pushing deeper and drilling under higher pressure to access new reserves. Two years after the devastating BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico?s Macondo well, operators are still pushing for faster, harder operations, ignoring safety precautions in the oil field. John Davis, manager of NCA Americas, said ?It?s important that we maintain our safety culture? (with offshore accidents) there are no first or second warnings.? As offshore operators embrace more risk in pursuit of new oil sources, they increase the risks faced by their employees, the environment and coastal residents as well. If you or a loved one has been injured as the result of a dangerous offshore operation, you may be entitled to compensation.

Medical Malpractice in New York by noreply@blogger.com (Personal Injury News) 3 May 2012 at 1:04pm Have you or a loved one been injured because of the negligent actions of a doctor or medical professional? There will probably be many questions going through your mind regarding your case and how to go about receiving justice. Filing a medical malpractice case is different in every state; therefore, it is important that you have a good understanding of the laws in your state as well as the time limit for reporting an instance of medical malpractice. You should not have to suffer because a doctor or nurse was careless in their treatment of you. First, you need to be aware of the statute of limitations in the State of New York. You will have 30 months in which to file a lawsuit from the date of the injury. This may seem like more than enough time to do so, however, it begins at the date of injury, not the date that the injuries because apparent and the victim suspected that it was the result of a doctor error. In cases of a foreign object being left in the body after a surgery or other medical procedure, the time limit is one year after the item was discovered or reasonably should have been discovered. You may also have questions regarding how long it will be before you are able to get your case resolved. This, however, can only be determined on a case by case basis. If it is a complex issue or one that does not frequently come up, it may take longer to come to a conclusion. In order to have the best possible chance of a quick and successful resolution to your case, you should have a legal advocate fighting for you every step of the way. A New York City medical malpractice lawyer from the Law Offices of Joseph M. Lichtenstein has years of experience and will fight tirelessly to help you. Boating Injuries in the Pacific Northwest by noreply@blogger.com (Personal Injury News) 2 May 2012 at 1:53pm The city of Seattle is admired for its vibrant cityscape with a laidback, west coast feel. It is commonly viewed by locals and visitors alike as a gateway to the beautiful nature of the Pacific Northwest, and there is a myriad of outdoor activities that one can participate in. With the abundance of lakes and rivers around Seattle, accidents such as falling overboard, drowning, and capsizing boats occur all too frequently. There are 20-30 fatalities that occur from boating accidents in Washington every year and around 4,000 injuries as well. Whether an accident occurred on a jetski, sailboat or motor boat, it is important to obtain the help of an experienced boat accident lawyer who can investigate your accident and determine who is liable. The owners of private boats have a legal responsibility to safely maintain the boat and provide a personal flotation device for everyone on board. The driver of a boat must be cautious while operating the boat around other watercrafts, bridges, and docks. The Revised Code of Washington on Boating Regulations covers the legal responsibilities of operating a boat in full detail including the liabilities of the owner as well. There have been an increasing number of BUI injuries and arrests in Lake Washington and around Seattle, and there is speculation that BUI injuries may surpass DUI injuries in the Pacific Northwest. Too many boating accidents occur because of the use of alcohol or illegal drugs, and it is important for the victims of these accidents to seek legal protection from a Seattle personal injury attorney. The dedicated team of lawyers at Ward Smith PLLC is passionate about seeking financial compensation for the victims of boating accidents. They have helped numerous victims seek justice for their physical injuries and non-economic damages in the past, and they are prepared to help you. New Website Helps Parents Choose the Right Car Seat by noreply@blogger.com (Personal Injury News) 30 Apr 2012 at 6:49pm The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) has launched a new website designed to help parents understand the most current safety data relating to car and booster seats and, ideally, select the car seat or seats that best suit their family?s needs. Additionally, the site updates parents about the appropriate times to switch from rear-facing to forward-facing seats, as well as appropriate transition times for moving from a car to a booster seat and finally to the unaccompanied use of a seat belt. Since the NHTSA is charged with regulating child-safety seats, they rightfully view this new site as a means of ensuring understanding of and compliance with child safety-seat laws. The concern, however, remains that parents will come to rely on this web site for all their safety information. In the event that the site is not appropriately updated and maintained, outdated safety information may trickle down to those individuals. Coming from the authoritative voice on car-seat safety, people would be unlikely to question any information on the site and might, inadvertently, place their children in harm?s way. The proper use of child safety seats for infants, toddlers and younger children can do much in the way of preventing fatalities in the event of a serious accident on the road. If, however, seats are used incorrectly or recalled models are kept in rotation, these life saving devices cannot perform their intended function. If your child has suffered from an injury as the result of an unsafe car seat, you may be entitled to compensation.

Brooklyn Man Arrested for Neglect of Elderly Mother by noreply@blogger.com (Personal Injury News) 27 Apr 2012 at 1:22pm In Brooklyn, New York, a 57-year-old man by the name of J. Coppa, has been arrested for the neglectful inattention he paid to his elderly mother who suffers from Alzheimer?s disease. The 95-year-old woman was discovered living alone in her home in Deer Park, despite the required nursing care she was supposed to be receiving. The unsanitary conditions in which the elderly woman was living were reported to Adult Protective Services by West Islip?s Good Samaritan Hospital Medical Center, at which time her house was condemned by the Fire Marshal in Suffolk County. After the condemning of her home, the 95-year-old was sent to live with her son, J. Coppa. According to reports, the 57-year-old son was advised by hospital staff and Adult Protection Services that his mother?s condition, now in the advanced stages, required that she be under the direct care of another; being left alone would not be an option. Upon learning of these circumstances, Mr. Coppa reportedly signed an agreement to acquire 24-hour care for his mother, refusing to place her in any type of nursing home in the state. Mr. Coppa?s intentions seem to have segued at some point, as his mother was found wandering the streets near her home last week. She was immediately taken back to the hospital and placed under medical care. Requesting the release of his mother, Coppa was again reminded of the 24-hour care he promised to obtain on his mother?s behalf, at which time he indicated that the issue had already been taken care of. However, Adult Protection Services once again found the woman unsupervised at her home earlier this week on Tuesday. She was hospitalized for safety concerns yet again. Since the last discovery, police have determined that Coppa never did hire any type of home health care help. He has since been charged with endangering the welfare of an incompetent or disabled person by domestic violence / elder abuse bureau investigators. The issue of elder abuse and neglect is one that plagues elderly residents in every city of every state throughout the nation. As is evidenced by the Brooklyn incident that happened earlier this week, even minor inattention or the failure to promptly act on official orders can result in serious harm for an elderly person. It can also equal criminal charges for the party held responsible for the incident. If you believe that an elderly person you know is being abused or neglected in any way, you should not wait to alert officials. If your suspicions are correct, a Long Island personal injuryattorney can be employed to help you take legal action regarding the matter. With the help of a professional at The Odierno Law Firm, you can set to work to hold accountable a neglectful or abusive individual.

Mother Files Wrongful Death Suit for Daughter Murdered by Lacrosse Player by noreply@blogger.com (Personal Injury News) 27 Apr 2012 at 11:52am The mother of a college student who was killed by a University of Virginia lacrosse player is now filing a wrongful death suit against him. The mother is requesting $30 million. The lacrosse player had recently been convicted of second-degree murder after he failed to provide the necessary care for his girlfriend that could have saved her life. The actual incident occurred when the two were allegedly ?wrestling? on the floor of the girlfriend?s apartment. The girl?s nose started to bleed at which point the boyfriend pushed her on the bed, told her to go to sleep and then left the apartment. Although the boyfriend has already been tried and convicted of her murder, the mother of the victim is still seeking a wrongful death claim against the boyfriend. The jury already recommended that a 26-year sentence would be sufficient for the crime, but the mother still has grounds to file a wrongful death claim for damages. A wrongful death claim is filed on the grounds of negligence, like any other personal injury claim. The difference comes because the deceased cannot file a claim on their own behalf for injuries. This gives authority for a surviving family member to file a claim on their behalf. Although the boyfriend?s actions did not immediately and deliberately cause the death of the girl, his lack of care for her physical state is what caused her injuries to worsen, which led to her death. If your loved one was killed by the negligence of another, you are entitled to file a wrongful death claim. By speaking with a competent attorney, they can inform you as to what you are entitled to regarding the specific circumstances of your case. Even if the defendant has already been convicted of a crime, you may still file a wrongful death suit against them, such as what happened in this case. If you are seeking a personal injury attorney to handle a case like this, consider speaking with Atlanta personal injury attorney Judy Kim today! Easterling?s Death Prompts Change to Wrongful Death Lawsuit by noreply@blogger.com (Personal Injury News) 23 Apr 2012 at 8:50pm Philadelphia attorney Larry Coben has announced that the nature of his concussion-related lawsuit has changed, following the suicide death of former Atlanta Falcons safety Ray Easterling. Coben said, "We'll change it from a personal-injury case to a wrongful-death case." Easterling along with a group of seven other former players sued the NFL in Philadelphia in August, claiming the league failed to properly treat players for concussions and tried to conceal for decades any links between football and brain injuries. It was the first potential class-action lawsuit that was filed. Since then, NFLConcussionLitigation.com reports that sixty-one concussion-related lawsuits now have been filed. Easterling, 62, was found dead in his Richmond, Va., home last Thursday. According to Richmond police captain Yvonne Crowder, Easterling?s death was the result of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Attorney Coben claims his client?s act was a consequence of the concussion problems. He said, "In the last six months, I guess, I could tell he was not on his game. He kept repeating himself and getting confused. It's pretty tough, pretty tough." Easterling, who was found by his wife, Mary Ann, underwent 25 different surgeries during his life, and he was diagnosed with dementia in 2011. She said that over the last 20 years, he had suffered from many of the symptoms common to players of his era, who kept playing through multiple concussions. She said her husband experienced bouts of depression and insomnia, and suffered severe memory loss toward the end of his life. "He had been feeling more and more pain," Mrs. Easterling said. "He felt like his brain was falling off. He was losing control. He couldn't remember things from five minutes ago. It was frightening, especially somebody who had all the plays memorized as a player when he stepped on the field." Easterling's lawsuit, filed by his attorney Larry Coben last August, claimed that the NFL "continuously and vehemently denied that it knew, should have known or believed that there is any relationship between NFL players suffering concussions while playing . . . and long-term problems such as headaches, dizziness, dementia and/or Alzheimer's disease that many retired players have experienced." The NFL has said any allegation that the league intentionally sought to mislead players is without merit. Missouri Grain Company Cited for Serious Violations that Caused Wrongful Deaths by noreply@blogger.com (Personal Injury News) 20 Apr 2012 at 6:54pm The federal government cited a Bartlett Grain, a Missouri grain company, last Thursday for willful safety violations that caused an explosion that killed six workers last October. The U.S. Labor Secretary said in a news release that the deaths at the grain elevator could have been prevented if the operators had taken care to address hazards known in the industry. In addition to the 13 citations filed against the grain company, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration is also seeking $406,000 in penalties against Bartlett Grain.Bartlett Grain?s disregard for the law led to the catastrophic incident that devastated the families and agricultural community of the workers who were injured or killed last October. Investigators had previously determined that the grain dust explosion was accidental, but the labor department reinvestigated and found that a lack of proper preventive maintenance and an inadequate emergency plan was to blame. The grain company?s president disagrees with the conclusion and submitted a written statement that the company plans to prove the citations wrong. When a tragic wrongful death accident occurs, the families and survivors have a right to seek legal justice for the negligence that caused the fatality. Wrongful death is usually caused by the negligence or carelessness of another person or company, and personal injury law specifically protects the rights of victims in these cases .

Colonel Gadhafi is the longest serving Arab leader in power. After seeing the deposal of his old ally Saddam Hussein, it appears that Gadhafi is willing to make changes which might protect his regime. To end sanctions placed on Libya since the infamous Lockerbie bombing, Gadhafi is to pay a compensation package. "It's not compensation. It's a price," claims Gadhafi. The 'price' for acceptance in the world community. It now seems that part of this 'price' is open disarmament. True to form, the timing of Gadhafi's announcement to disarm was impeccable -- it came just two days before the 15th anniversary of the Lockerbie bombing. He has also dropped Libya's compensation claims for America's 1986 bombing. But Libya is currently facing it's own economic failure and reform is necessary. Gadhafi's unique blend of socialist/Islamic thought is not working in the nation's best interest. "Our public sector has proven to be sluggish, sometimes even corrupt," states PM Shukri Ghanem. He hopes to privatise large sections of the economy in order to speed economic growth. But the key to Libya's success in securing positive international acceptance lies in it's vast, unexplored oil fields. "American companies will stampede in" states Tarek Hassan Beck. But some Libyans are cynical about the reforms.

Metal on Metal hip replacements are in the news again today. The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency says 49000 patients are in the risk group. This is the recording of the interview on Radio Five Live for your information. As a solicitor looking after ASR DePuy Hip Compensation Claims you may find my blog hipreplacementclaims.net has some useful information. Drugs have to undergo serious testing to get approved.

Is it any wonder that compensation claims for metal on metal hip implants are likely to soar over the next few years - when the testing system is so lax?

It appears that there are different rules for testing - despite the fact that both drugs and hip replacemen devices both end up in our bodies.

In 2009, the US pharmaceutical company agreed to pay $75m to the claimants in compensation. However, Pfizer introduced DNA testing as part of the process to qualify for the payment.

We also deal with stress at work claims and repetitive strain injury claims as well as vibration white finger and other neurological diseases caused by exposure to work equipment over a prolonged period of time. We have a specialist department at Simpson Millar that deals with occupational diseases distinct from any other departments because there are a number of issues related to occupational disease claims that are specialist.
