Through a series of mistakes, miscommunication, and misdiagnoses, a Florida mother’s arms and legs were amputated. She sued the doctors, who blamed one another for the errors in her case. The jury ruled against Strong, but the judge overruled the jury because of the overwhelming evidence. Strong is now waiting for her second chance in court.

Parents need to remember that even though they are in the home with their children they still need to be aware of the potential dangers to young ones. Parents should examine the home to see where hazards may be. Strangulation and suffocation hazards should be out of reach of young children. Cleaning fluids that look like punch and any other chemicals that can harm children or pets should be used carefully and kept away from inquisitive explorers, even leaving products accessible to go answer the phone quickly, etc., can be too long without supervision. Obviously swimming pools should be gated and/or covered because it only takes a few minutes without oxygen to the brain to cause permanent impairments or death.

Wal-Mart has agreed to a settlement amount of nearly $2 million dollars in the “Black Friday” incident that resulted in one death and injury to eleven others in their Nassau, New York store. By doing so they will not face criminal charges that were being sought, and could have only resulted in a $10,000 fine. What does this mean to the survivor’s family and others’ who were injured?

Reimbursement can be awarded for any work you may have missed as a result of this accident; for hospital bills incurred as well as the cost of total pain and suffering.

Injury attorneys are there to help you or a loved one get a settlement in a mesothelioma personal injury case.

A Denver man pushes three people out of the path of a speeding pickup truck only to get struck and injured himself. To add insult to injury (literally), the man, suffering from bleeding in the brain, ruptured spleen, broken bones, and a dislocated shoulder, was issued a jaywalking ticket by a nearby state trooper. Uh… thanks?

Take notes and document absolutely everything.

I’ve never liked restroom stalls. Everything about them is uncomfortable. They are claustrophobic. Well, add another unpleasant feature to the restroom stall. A man in St. Petersburg, Florida is suing Lowes Home Center for injuries sustained while using their toilet.

Black Friday is crazy. Stores open at midnight, offering outrageous deals, and people line up ready to rush in and grab whatever they can. This year Black Friday gave people another reason to call it Black Friday, as a Wal-Mart employee was trampled to death as shoppers were ready to “blitz” the store. A good deal is great, but it is not worth trampling someone. How did these shoppers not notice there was a man on the ground, and moreover why did Wal-Mart promote this to such extents that one of their employees was killed? The question now is who is liable and how can we prevent this in the future.

Eight top clothing lines have agreed to pay a combined $320,000 for failing to report the hazards of its drawstring sweatshirts and jackets to the Consumer Product Safety Commission in a timely manner.
