$19 Million Verdict in Birth Injury Case
AppId is over the quota
Posted on Mar 20, 2008
A boy from Freehold, New Jersey who was disabled from birth has been awarded over $19 million by a Monmouth County, New Jersey jury in a medical malpractice suit, according to the boy’s attorney, Brian Drazin.
Drazin said the money will allow Bonnie Kowalski, his 10-year-old client Brandon’s mother, to pay for his care for the remainder of his life, equip their home to accommodate his disabilities, and purchase a wheelchair-accessible van to transport him. Drazin said that, being completely disabled, Brandon is completely reliant on others to care for him.
After a trial which began on February 11, the jury deliberated for two days before finding that Arvind Palav, an obstetrician, was negligent and awarded $19.25 to the boy on Monday, March 17.
Drazin said that during her pregnancy, Palav misdiagnosed Kowalski after she contacted him on September 11, 1997, complaining of pain in her abdomen. He delayed in determining she was hemorrhaging and lost a great deal of blood, according to Drazin.
Palav also failed to perform the necessary tests on Kowalski and didn’t recognize that the unborn child could be in “fetal distress” and ignored the warnings of a nurse who discovered the problem, according to Drazin.
Drazin said that Brandon, who was delivered by C-section, had to be resuscitated and was in intensive care for four months. He now suffers from severe brain damage and cerebral palsy and is also legally blind.
Over 10 defendants were named in the original complaint, which included Riverview Medical Center in Red Bank, New Jersey and the chairmen of the obstetrics/gynecology and general surgery departments of the hospital. According to Drazin, some were dismissed quickly after he found that they had no part in the delays.
Once deliberations began, Judge Louis Locascio narrowed the issues to that Palav and a surgeon who performed exploratory surgery on Kowalski were the only defendants remaining in the case.

$18 Million Verdict for Wrongful Death Caused by Fentanyl Transdermal Patch
AppId is over the quota
An Illinois Appellate Court has upheld an $18 million verdict against Janssen Pharmaceuticals for the wrongful death of a woman, Janice DiCosolo who died after using the company’s Duragesic prescription transdermal patch.The defective pain patch was designed to release 1.7 ng/mL of the powerful narcotic painkiller fentanyl, which is a powerful opiate-based analgesic 60 to 80 times stronger than morphine. DiCosolo, who died of cardiac arrest, was found to have 28.2 ng/mL of fentanyl in her system at the time of her death.
The level of fentanyl was so high that the coroner at first concluded that the woman had committed suicide, but the day after the DiCosolo’s death, Janssen Pharmaceuticals announced an “Urgent Class I Drug Recall” of the same lot of the drug that included DiCosolo’s patch. The recall notice indicated that a small number of the patches might leak medication along one side of the patch causing increased exposure to fentanyl.
The drug company appealed the $18 million jury verdict claiming insufficient evidence had been presented to conclude that the defective pain patch malfunctioned to permit the jury to infer a “non-specific defect” caused her death. The pharmaceutical company argued that DiCosolo’s family had to explain the exact mechanics of the failure of the defective pain patch. The drug company’s position was that failing to require such a showing was akin to allowing the defect in a product liability case be proven simply by the fact that a person was injured.
The court rejected this position and found that sufficient circumstantial evidence was presented to support a finding that the transdermal pain patch was defective. The court specifically relied on evidence that the fentanyl transdermal pain patch was the only source of the fentanyl that was being used by DiCosolo and that the coroner had ruled that she died from an overdose of fentanyl. Other evidence that the patch was defective included the fact that the patch was part of a lot that was recalled for exactly the risk that killed DiCosolo – the delivery of an unsafe dose of fentanyl. The court pointed out that while the mere fact that DiCosolo died did not prove a defect, that is not the same thing as saying the patch delivered an excessive amount of fentanyl, which caused her death.
While pain patches can provide relief to those with severe pain, there is a serious risk of overdose from the drug being released into the body at too rapid a rate. The FDA has been aware of the potential problems associated with defective transdermal pain patches dating back to 1995 when it began issuing recalls of transdermal patches and new product labeling requirements. Potentially fatal overdoses can occur when a transdermal patch administers fentanyl too rapidly because the patch is defective, which may include being cut or otherwise defective so that the powerful narcotic painkiller leaks causing the drug to be absorbed into the bloodstream at an unsafe rate. Fentanyl transdermal patches may cause respiratory depression, respiratory arrest and even death.

$25 Million Wrongful Death Lawsuit Filed in Fatal Hazing Incident
AppId is over the quota
With the school at University of Georgia and other colleges and universities having recently started, your college-bound young adult may be asked to join the Greek System and become part of a fraternity or sorority.
While the Greek system can provide an opportunity to develop future contacts, build a social network at a university and obtain access to a wide range of social and recreational activities, there is also a darker side to the fraternity and sorority experience. Pledge initiation, rituals and hazing that are a frequent part of the fraternity and sorority experience are often portrayed in movies and television as harmless hijinks. However, many times each year college hazing incidents result in serious injury or wrongful death.
Pledge initiation often involves ritual practices like hazing by a fraternity or sorority to bring about a sense of close bonding. Hazing is designed to provide shared experiences frequently under adverse, stressful or physically challenging conditions that promote a tight camaraderie among the members of the organization. While these experiences may be unpleasant or downright painful during the time they are experienced, they theoretically are looked back on by members with humor.
Unfortunately, many times hazing includes dangerous practices such as forced consumption of alcohol that result in catastrophic injuries or even wrongful death. A $25 million wrongful death lawsuit has been filed resulting from the tragic hazing death of a Cornell University sophomore. The mother of the fraternity hazing victim has alleged in her wrongful death lawsuit that fraternity members allegedly blindfolded and bound the hands and feet of her son before kidnapping him. The wrongful death hazing lawsuit also alleges that the fraternity pledge was forced to drink so much that he died of alcohol poisoning.
Although fraternities and sororities are often associated with hazing activities, hazing may be experienced in a wide range of extracurricular activities and clubs. A study entitled the National Study of Student Hazing conducted by professors at the University of Maine found that 55 percent of all college and university students that participate in sports, clubs and organizations experience hazing. While 70 percent of those involved in Greek organizations and varsity sports teams indicated having experienced hazing incidents, these incidents were even reported by members of honors societies (20 percent) and academic clubs (28 percent).
Common hazing practices reported in the University of Maine study include forced alcohol consumption, humiliation, sex acts, sleep deprivation and isolation. Perhaps, the most surprising aspect of these hazing practices is that they are often carried out in public. Students in the study reported that 25 percent of the time an advisor, coach and/or alumni was aware of the hazing incident.
Hazing can lead to permanent life-threatening injuries including alcohol poisoning, serious head injuries, spinal cord injuries, paralysis and wrongful death. When students are forced to consume large quantities of alcohol, subject to physical restraints or deprived of adequate sleep by being woken throughout the night to be forced to submit to acts of humiliation, the results can be tragic. If your child is the victim of hazing and suffers injury or wrongful death, contact the experienced Georgia personal injury lawyers at Montlick and Associates. We have been fighting for the rights of accident victims throughout Georgia for over 27 years.

East Bay family awarded $11.7 million in Marsh Creek Road wrongful death accident
AppId is over the quota
Posted on Monday, September 12th, 2011 Late last week, a jury ordered Contra Costa County to pay $11.7 million to the family of William Tindall, who was killed in a crash on Marsh Creek Road in August 2008. The jury found that the County had created, and had notice of, a dangerous condition of public property at the accident location while the road was being resurfaced.
Unfortunately, Mr. Tindall was not the first victim of the 2008 Marsh Creek Road resurfacing project. Just five days earlier, a woman died when she skidded off the road and into a tree. Evidence was presented that, during three separate resurfacing projects since 1994, fifteen serious accidents had occurred, including the last, the one that killed Mr. Tindall.
Mr. Tindall, a long-time East Bay resident, was on his way to a plumbing job at a local hospital when he stopped to assist a driver who had overturned his SUV after losing control on a gravel-covered curve. Only moments later, a second car struck and killed him, when its driver lost control on the same patch of road.
Luke Ellis of this firm represented the Tindalls in their lawsuit against the County and the California Highway Patrol. The jury awarded $1.5 million in economic damages, and $10.2 million to his widow and daughter (now age 13) for their loss of his love, care and companionship. Mr. Ellis commented on the verdict: “Mr. Tindall was a wonderful man, someone who stopped coming from an opposite direction to help a stranger in distress. The damages awarded were very fair and reasonable based on the extremely close relationship Mr. Tindall had with his wife and daughter, and we appreciate all the time, care and attention spent by the jury on this case.”
Honda recalls nearly one million vehicles
As Dallas-Fort Worth personal injury and unlawful death I know a lawyer, it is always important, mass vehicle recalls seriously to take. It is never a good advertisement for a car, motorcycle, or truck manufacturer to a nationwide recall of one of their models potentially life-threatening defective, so that if there are in the world announce, you should take that seriously, it is enough that your vehicle check you local retailer should get immediately.
Yesterday, Honda Motor Company announced a reminder of their small cars, CR-V crossover fit and fit ARIA models, which sold in North America, Asia, Europe and Africa, as well as its CR-Z compact hybrids have been around the world. This recall affects a total 962.000 vehicles worldwide. Honda says, that there no injuries or deaths, which have the recall of one of the affected vehicles. The seat, CR-V and fit ARIA models are due to the risk of fire from recalled broken Windows is installed in the vehicle require the mass recall. The CR-Z is probably have problems with the computerized engine control unit programming.
If you believe that your vehicle is either affected by these problems, contact your local Honda dealer immediately. You wait for an official notification letter from Honda, there is usually a delay in manufacturer such letters shipping, and even then not all owners get a.
Last year, almost 20 million cars, trucks and motorcycles in the United States have been manufacturer recalls affected, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that more than 6 million affected owners not their vehicles checked and repaired. Because it requires such repairs through a callback, there should be no cost to you as the owner of the vehicle so that it really no excuse not to your car checked out and corrected.

Jury awards $40 million for delayed recall of defective seat belt
A jury returned a verdict of $40 million in a wrongful death lawsuit, a 16-year-old girl in the tragically was killed as their defects seat belt not. The teenager KIA was ejected from her 1999, after the manufacturer based defect with the seatbelt delayed recall of the vehicle on a false latching.
Tiffany Stabler was a family you come along with her friend driving when they lost control of the vehicle. Both girls failed seat-belts, which ejects to two teenage passengers from the vehicle.
False latching is one of the more frequent seatbelt defects. It occurs when a seat belt latch sounds and/or feels as it is fully involved in, when in fact it is not safely locked. Because the locking not fully participating, the buckle is created unlatched during the force of a vehicle impact. Before the fatal accident, Kia had nearly 90,000 vehicles for a similar false latching damaged vehicles from model years 1995-1998 reminded. KIA recall, not models from 1999 to 2000 as an upgrade installed. During the wrongful death lawsuit has been shown that some vehicles manufactured in the callback's had the same upgrade.
A key issue in defective seat belt product liability lawsuits is the question of whether the passengers actually wore a safety harness. The defense in this lawsuit claims that the car crash victims out of the car were ejected because they wearing not seat belts. Although Tiffany with carry brands that the coroner had witnessed a safety harness are consistent, the Defense claimed the roof rail the chest injuries caused when she was ejected from the vehicle. The other passenger also testified that she and Tiffany were wearing seat belts.
While the vehicle recall later was extended so that Tiffanys vehicle have considered it, would the callback extension came too late to prevent Tiffanys tragic death. Evidence was provided that the original callback $2.5 million in costs. The jury probably accepted the claim that the recall was delayed, to avoid costs associated with having regard to an another 250,000 vehicles.
Safety belts are the most important safety equipment in a motor vehicle. There are a number of defects that can occur in the design or the occupants of the vehicle in a car accident Georgia can make production of safety belts, unprotected. This case is a teenage driver particularly tragic, as might be still alive, when the safety harness recall had not been delayed.

The case stems from a suddenly in love, which cars drive only on the condition that the host parents do not allow that the guest daughter go young in each. Allows her daughter and her boyfriend of 14-year-old a young male drivers take the host-mother who crashed his car to kill the Sleepover guest.
