Fort Lauderdale Injury Lawyer Blawg

In the early hours of January 25, 2012 the Weston Car Accident Attorney's client was properly and safely parked in his 1999 Toyota Camry, having just complete his shift at work and awaiting to do a good deed by bringing his friend home Our client's vehicle was parked on the 3900 block of Collins Avenue in the early morning hours and was patiently waiting for his friend to place his bicycle into the back seat of his Camry from the sidewalk side. After all, Daniel meant to help his friend and prevent him from bicycling home in traffic in the early morning hours. Daniel thought he was protecting his friend by having him take his bicycle off the streets by offering him this ride. No one would have envisioned that the Defendant, Joao Mauro, 20, (who according to WSVN 7 News has been charged with DUI manslaughter, vehicular homicide and cocaine possession) or anyone for that matter, would have been operating a motor vehicle in such a negligent manner so as to cause it to come up on to the sidewalk and then strike a vehicle and his friend who was in the process of loading his bicycle.

Our client's vehicle was propelled some 120 feet down Collin's Avenue. Mr. Russell Knudson was fatally pinned between the vehicles that struck him the rear door of the Camry he was trying to get his bike into. Mr. Russell Knudson passed away at the scene of this horrific accident. Our client recalls being airborne, experienced being thrown about the inside of his vehicle and after awakening from having lost consciousness being upside down in the passengers seat.

As of now, the information is still sketchy, but, it appears as though Joao Mauro was not the owner of the Mercedes vehicle he was operating and had neither a Florida driver's license, nor any proof of liability insurance which might inure to the benefit of any of the victims of this tragic crash.

As noted in a recent CNBC report, Fort Lauderdale, FL was ranked as one of the most dangerous dangerous city for driving in America. Although other cities had a higher total number of fatalities, no city had a higher total fatality rate per 100,000 person population. Obviously this news is quite alarming and troublesome for the residents of the South Florida area. As a Plantation Car Accident Lawyer, I wanted to discuss this report so that people that live in our area are aware of the everyday driving danger. Hopefully if people are aware of how statistically dangerous it is out there, they will exercise more caution while driving in the future.

According to the report, which you can also find at the Sun-Sentinel, the total fatality rate per 100,000 person population for Fort Lauderdale, FL is 22.39. Additionally, throughout the year there were 41 total fatalities, and 24.4% of those fatalities were pedestrians. From the perspective of a Plantation Accident Attorney, these numbers are simply way too high. People simply must be more careful when they are driving. This includes among many other things, staying alert, keeping a safe distance from the car in front of you, and not texting while driving.

It is also worth mentioning that Orlando, FL was number two on the list and in total, four cities in Florida made the list. As a Plantation Car Accident Attorney, my hope is that people see this report and become concerned enough about what is going on out there to drive in an almost overly cautious manner. People also need to be more aware of pedestrians on the sidewalk or in the crosswalk while driving in order to seriously reduce the number of pedestrian fatalities. All in all, hopefully the residents of Fort Lauderdale and the surrounding area can begin to drive more carefully and make driving safer for everyone.

Last week, a jury awarded the family of Darryl Turner $10 million in their taser death lawsuit. The lawsuit was held in North Carolina concerning the wrongful death of Darryl Turner. The family sued Taser International, Inc. after Darryl died in a supermarket in Charlotte in March 2008, after being shot in the chest by the company's Taser Model X26. The plaintiffs claimed that the manufacturer was negligent for failing to warn the police officers that shooting the taser gun into a person's chest could cause cardiac arrest. As a Weston Wrongful Death Lawyer, it is very tragic to here that it took the death of this teenager for the manufacturer to think to warn its customers about the proper use of its product.

According to the lawsuit, Darryl Turner was tasered for 37 seconds and after that period of time he stopped moving. However, the police officer stunned him again for another five seconds for not putting his hands behind his back. As a Weston Injury Lawyer, I think that it is worth nothing that there was a police brutality lawsuit that was settled out of court for $625,000. Additionally, the city has retrained officers on tasers and the appropriate uses and applications of them.

Another interesting point is that Darryl Turner was not on drugs, nor did he exhibit any signs of heart disease prior to the taser incident. As a Weston Wrongful Death Attorney, my opinion is that this contributed to the plaintiffs' arguments, since it makes it even clearer that the taser, not any previous medical conditions, was the ultimate cause of death. Despite the large damage award, this really isn't a victory for the family since they tragically and wrongfully lost their son.

Just a few weeks ago, a jury found the University of Central Florida Athletics Association negligent in the Ereck Plancher, wrongful death lawsuit. The jury awarded $10 million to the family who brought the wrongful death lawsuit. For those who don't know, Ereck Plancher died during football conditioning workouts in 2008 while a member of the University of Central Florida football team. As a Fort Lauderdale Wrongful Death Lawyer, I have unfortunately heard about and read about similar stories to this one. The lawsuit alleges that Plancher died from organ damage brought on by the nature of the training workouts, which in turn caused his red blood cells to warp.

His red blood cells warped because he had sickle cell anemia. One of the bigger issues in the case was the allegation that the university knew about Plancher's condition because he had previously undergone medical tests for the university. The plaintiffs alleged that the university never informed Plancher, or his his parents, whereas the University of Central Florida Athletics Association argued that he signed medical wavers. From the perspective of a Fort Lauderdale Injury Attorney, and as a parent, that is a very terrifying thing to hear. If true, I cannot imagine any parent who wouldn't be outraged if they weren't informed of an issue like this. In the end, the family countered that he had to sign the waivers out of fear of losing his football scholarship.

This particular tragedy is very relevant to us in South Florida, since many children in our community attend the University of Central Florida. As a Fort Lauderdale Wrongful Death Lawyer, I think that, especially in the Florida heat, it seems apparent that there needed to be better safety precautions in place. This is one of those lawsuits where there truly are no winners. This wrongful death outcome seems like it could have, and should have, been avoided.

It was recently announced that the family of a teenager who was killed in a car accident was awarded $40 million as a result of their lawsuit against Kia Motors. The family filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Kia, claiming that the seat belts in the teenage girl's Kia Sephia were defective and should have been recalled. The young girl was killed in 2004. As a Weston Car Accident Lawyer, a case like this is very tough to read about, especially when the company allegedly could have avoided this awful situation by initiating a recall. Recalling the seat belts could have potentially saved this teenage girl's life.

According to the wrongful death lawsuit filed by the family, Kia had already issued recalls for several seat belts in various Kia models such as the 1995 to 1998 Kia Sephia and Kia Sportage. However, they did not recall the 1999 Kia Sephia model that this girl was driving. The issue with the seat belts was that the latching system was defective, meaning the person in the seat thought they were safely buckled, when in reality, they might not have been. This, in combination with federal inquiries, led Kia to recall 189,000 vehicles in 2002, but still not the 1999 Kia Sephia. As a Weston Car Accident Attorney, these details are disturbing since it appears that Kia had ample opportunity to rectify the situation before this disaster had occurred.

Finally, in 2004 Kia was asked to submit the seat buckles for testing, which it never did. One month after the teenage girl was killed in the car accident, Kia recalled an additional 251,000 cars, including the 1999 Kia Sephia. From the perspective of a Weston Accident Lawyer, the details of this case seem to speak volumes. This large corporation with ample financial resources had years to prevent something like this from occurring, yet it was uncooperative. This is truly a sad story, yet unfortunately in the world of personal injury lawsuits, it is still somewhat common.

Earlier this month, the family of a woman from Boca Raton filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Toyota. The woman died from carbon monoxide poisoning and the lawsuit alleges that the wrongful death stems from problems with Toyota's keyless ignition. The lawsuit claims that after the woman's Lexus failed to shut off in the garage, carbon monoxide gas entered her townhome through the ventilation system, allegedly leading to her death and to her boyfriend suffering serious injuries. As a Fort Lauderdale Wrongful Death Lawyer, I feel that it is important to note that the plaintiffs are also suing the woman's apartment complex over the aforementioned ventilation system.

The lawsuit is alleging that the car should have some monitor to detect when someone has failed to shut off the car via the keyless ignition. As a Fort Lauderdale Injury Attorney, I am very curious to see how this case will be resolved. If Toyota is found liable, this could be one of the first of many lawsuits related to keyless ignition systems. It will also be interesting to see if car companies respond with a monitoring system that would shut off keyless ignition vehicles that are left running for an extended period of time.

I know that another lawsuit of this nature was filed in November 2010. The woman in that lawsuit is also suing Toyota after suffering brain damage. As a Fort Lauderdale Accident Lawyer, it will be interesting to see how the two courts in two different states rule in these two cases. As I mentioned, these two cases could set the precedent for many cases to come as more and more cars transition to a keyless ignition system.

Recently, the Consumer Product Safety Commission announced the recall of about 1 million pool drain covers. The recall became necessary because of the risks of entrapment from the drain covers. According to the CPSC, the recalled pool drains do not meet the new safety standards that were previously set by the CPSC. Moreover, all public pools must replace these defective pool drain covers with ones that meet the new standards. As a Fort Lauderdale Products Liability Injury Attorney, I am glad to see this recall taking place because it should save many lives. There have been numerous incidents where children were sucked down by the drain and the pressure grabbing them is enough to keep a child under water until he or she dies. Obviously this is a horrifying scenario.

According to the CPSC Pool and Spa Drain Recall Release, the recall was initiated because incorrect ratings of the drains could pose an entrapment hazard for people in the pool, especially children. As a Fort Lauderdale Personal Injury Attorney, I think the timing of this is important as well, since children are just finishing up the school year and are getting reading to spend a lot of their summer time in the pool. A recall such as this one that protects children is incredibly important because the potential consequences are just too dire.

The pool drain recall stems from an investigation that was announced by the CPSC on March 18. It is good to see the CPSC take action on this issue which could very well save many lives. As a Fort Lauderdale Products Liability Injury Lawyer, I can only hope that this improves the testing that these pool drains must undergo in order to be certified as safe for public use.

The DeFusco's Bakery in Rhode Island that is alleged to have caused dozens of people to suffer from salmonella food poisoning will now face personal injury lawsuits as a result. According to local news reports, over 70 people have reported illness from the contaminated zeppoles, and almost 30 people needed to be hospitalized. Further, some believe that the salmonella poisoning could also have caused the death of two elderly people. As a Plantation Products Liability Attorney, I think this case demonstrates how quickly these situations can become dangerous and even life threatening. Something like salmonella can spread very quickly, especially if the outbreak is linked to a center of distribution like a food establishment.

According to the Rhode Island Department of Health press release, DeFusco's Bakery has been ordered to remain closed until further notice. Unfortunately, before DeFusco's was shut down, it had already sold additional potentially contaminated zeppoles to other bakeries, locally and in other states. Thus, the potential spread of salmonella could grow to a larger number of people. From a Plantation Personal Injury Lawyer's perspective, the plaintiffs in these lawsuits will likely sue for negligence on behalf of the bakery and seek compensation for damages such as medical expenses and pain and suffering.

Going back to the distribution of the zeppoles to other bakeries, one can only hope that the additional sales were very limited so that more people don't become ill. As a Plantation Products Liability Attorney, I will be curious to see if this case grows into a class action claim against DeFusco's Bakery. It seems as though things might be heading that way already from what I have read.

This is a very unfortunate circumstance and I sympathize with all of the parties involved. As a Plantation Personal Injury Attorney I'm sorry to say that I hear stories like this one far too often. Hopefully this salmonella outbreak has been fully contained at this point and hopefully those who fell ill can make full recoveries.

Just recently a Florida jury awarded $2.8 million to the family of Brian R. Heikkila as a result of a wrongful death lawsuit filed by his family on his behalf. Heikkila was killed after being hit by a Ford Mustang while riding his motorcycle in Daytona Beach, FL. As a Pembroke Pines Wrongful Death Attorney this verdict caught my attention and it is good to see that justice prevailed. It is also reassuring that the victim's family was compensated $2.8 million for Mr. Heikkila's wrongful death. According to the lawsuit, the defendant, who was driving the Ford Mustang, caused the motorcycle accident by failing to properly yield the right of way to Mr. Heikkila.

This is another unfortunate example of the disastrous consequences that can result from unsafe driving. As a Pembroke Pines Wrongful Death Lawyer I have seen many car accident lawsuits and motorcycle accident lawsuits that resulted in someone's wrongful death. This case is particularly tragic because Mr. Heikkila has a daughter who is 5 years old. Had the defendant operated his vehicle properly, then Mr. Heikkila would not have died as a result of the accident and the little girl would still have her father.

On a related note, motorcycle accident injuries are becoming disturbingly common, which is another reminder of how we always need to make sure that we drive safely. The consequences are simply too dire. From a Pembroke Pines Personal Injury Attorney's perspective you can never be too safe when driving a car or riding a motorcycle. A vehicle is a dangerous instrumentality and this case should remind us all of that fact.

Public Citizen, which is a consumer watchdog organization, has filed a petition with the FDA to ban the weight-loss drugs Xenical and Alli. The group is arguing that the weight-loss drugs might cause harm to the kidney and to the liver. As a Pembroke Pines Products Liability Attorney, it will be interesting to see whether the FDA decides to remove the products from shelves nationwide. A few days ago, on April 14th, Public Citizen sent its Xenical and Alli recall petition to the FDA. Public Citizen believes that the harmful side effects of active ingredient in the drugs, which is called orlistat, far outweigh the potential benefits.

Just a few days prior to the petition, there was a study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine in which 2% of Xenical users were hospitalized for kidney problems after they began taking Xenical. From a Pembroke Pines Products Liability Lawyer's perspective, it is also very interesting to read that Public Citizen searched the FDA's database and found that the weight-loss drugs in question are linked to at least 47 cases of acute pancreatitis and 73 cases of kidney stones. These are alarming numbers since the conditions associated with the drugs are so serious.

Furthermore, in May of last year, the FDA reported that they had received 13 reports of severe livery injury from people who had taken Xenical or Alli. Unfortunately, two of those people died and three others needed liver transplants. As a Pembroke Pines Personal Injury Attorney, these reports are obviously very scary and I sympathize with the families who were affected by the side effects of the previously mentioned weight-loss drugs. I will follow this petition and see if the FDA decides to remove Xenical and Alli from the marketplace.

This past Friday, a federal jury in New York ruled that Toyota was not responsible for Dr. Amir Sitafalwalla's car accident. The trial is big news because it is first of many regarding Toyota's vehicles that were recalled for sudden acceleration. The jury was convinced that the driver caused the accident, not the defective floor mat. The driver's personal injury lawyer sought compensation based largely on claims of electronic defects. However, the judge ruled out any evidence concerning electronic issues, which was a big win for Toyota. As a Pembroke Pines Personal Injury Attorney, I will give my thoughts on the verdict below.

That ruling about the evidence is probably in part because the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration previously reported that no electronic defects caused the sudden acceleration. Instead, the NHTSA ruled that the floor mats and sticky gas pedals were the most likely cause of the four deaths and at least 52 other car accidents. As a Pembroke Pines Car Accident Lawyer, it seems that Toyota was able to convince the jury to rule in its favor because of substantial testing and video evidence demonstrating how the floor mat was not a factor in the car accident. The jury needed less than an hour to rule in favor of Toyota, a somewhat surprising result to some people who were covering the car accident lawsuit.

Yet, this is just a small victory for Toyota, since the company is facing hundreds of lawsuits for car accidents that allegedly resulted from defective floor mats or sticky gas pedal issues. From a Pembroke Pines Car Accident Attorney's perspective, the key in many of these cases will be to what degree the driver caused the accident versus to what degree the defective floor mats and gas pedals are to blame. It is up to each plaintiff's personal injury attorney to present the evidence in the appropriate manner to demonstrate this point.

The other car accident lawsuits are also seeking compensation for such damages as economic loss and personal injury. This is the just the first case of a many more to come in the Toyota recall lawsuit process and it will be very interesting to see how each case plays out.

Just recently, Hyundai announced two separate recalls affecting close to 285,000 of their 2007-2009 Elantra vehicles. There are airbag related issues that prompted Hyundai to act. First, almost 96,000 of the 2007 and 2008 Hyundai Elantra models were recalled because of a problem with the driver's seat position sensor, which in turn affects how much airbag force to deploy. This means that the airbag could potentially deploy with maximum force, even if the driver is sitting very close to the steering wheel. From a Fort Lauderdale Car Accident Attorney's perspective, this though is very scary and poses a serious injury risk.

Furthermore, Hyundai is also recalling nearly 189,000 Elantras from 2007-2009 because of a weight sensor issue. The sensor can be found under the center console and might malfunction if, for example, a drink is spilled on it. This is a problem because the sensor communicates with the front passenger airbag as to whether the passenger is heavy enough to trigger the airbag in the event of a car accident. If the sensor is not functioning properly, then the airbag could deploy regardless, even if there is a child in the front seat. As a Fort Lauderdale Personal Injury Attorney, I can already foresee the potential for bodily harm in this scenario. Thus, prior to even bringing these cars in for service, it seems advisable that no children sit in the front passenger seat of the affected Hyundai Elantra recalled models.

As a Fort Lauderdale Car Accident Lawyer, this recall worries me because of the potential for bodily injury. These defective sensors could lead to even more severe injuries than the already serious injuries that tend to result from a car accident. Though Hyundai would not be responsible for the actual car accident, a Fort Lauderdale Car Accident Lawyer could argue that Hyundai would be responsible for any injuries that directly resulted from the defective airbags.

In the most disastrous of scenarios, this airbag issue could lead to a wrongful death lawsuit. If a Wrongful Death Attorney could prove that the malfunctioning airbag caused or contributed to someone's death, then Hyundai would have serious legal and public relations problems.

Yet at the crux of this recall, this is another example of products liability. As a Fort Lauderdale Car Accident Lawyer, I see the situation in which Hyundai could potentially be found liable, depending of course on each jurisdiction's product liability laws. Thus, these two sensor/airbag issues could result in personal injury lawsuits against Hyundai. One of the issues in this hypothetical scenario is to what degree the defective product caused someone to suffer harm in terms of damage to their car, body, or even psychological state of mind.

I sincerely hope that the word about this recall spreads rapidly so that Hyundai Elantra owners can take the necessary actions to prevent themselves from being harmed. As a Fort Lauderdale Car Accident Attorney with 30 years of experience in this field, I urge owners of the recalled vehicles to contact Hyundai at 1-800-633-5151 or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration at 1-888-327-4236.

It was just announced yesterday that Lasko will recall close to 5 million box fans . A very serious product defect was discovered after at least seven fires were apparently caused by an electrical issue with the fans' motors. According to the reports, there have already been fires at a barn and at two houses as a result of these defective products. As a Pembroke Pines Products Liability Attorney, I expect the fact that no one has filed personal injury lawsuit to change as time goes on. The fans appear to have been distributed nationwide and to several mass market retailers from July 2002 to December 2005. This explains why the total number of units recalled is so high, given the large quantity that was initially sold throughout the years.

If you own this fan, information on how to safely proceed can be found in the Consumer Product Safety Commission's Recall Report via this link. The CPSC is working with Lasko to effectively implement this recall. Specific information from Lasko regarding the fan recall can be found here.

As a Pembroke Pines Products Liability Attorney this is a very alarming recall, since the consequences of the electrical defect pose a big safety issue. The risk of a fire hazard is clearly not something to be taken lightly, so anyone who owns this fan should stop using it immediately, then contact Lasko or the CPSC. First and foremost, protecting innocent consumers is the number one priority with regards to the fan recall.

In terms of liability, it seems likely that the people who owned fans that caused house fires will hire a defective products attorney to file a lawsuit on their behalf. Among other things, those victims suffered property damage that seems to be a direct result of the fire caused by the damaged fan. It is important in a personal injury case to demonstrate that the product (fan) directly caused harm (property damage, bodily injury) due to the fires.

Unfortunately, this isn't Lasko's first product recall in 2011. Last month, Lasko recalled nearly 110,000 space heaters. This is a disturbing trend and it seems as if the company needs to conduct thorough investigations into several product development areas, starting with their manufacturing process, engineering design, and safety inspection procedures.

As a Pembroke Pines Personal Injury Attorney, I can only hope that this recall prevents any more fires from occurring and that no one suffers any further bodily injuries. It seems as if Lasko will have to deal with some property damage lawsuits and products liability lawsuits as a result of these defective products. Once again, this is just another instance of how an everyday product can become very dangerous if it is not properly designed and inspected.

Earlier this month, a jury in Maryland awarded $3.3 million to the family of Kelay Smith as a result of a wrongful death lawsuit. The lawsuit was against the State of Maryland for not having a sidewalk along a stretch of the road where other pedestrians had been struck by cars and died in the past. What makes this case even more tragic is the fact that Smith was five months pregnant at the time of the accident. She and her unborn child died shortly after at a hospital near where she was hit. As a Plantation Wrongful Death Attorney, this case truly breaks my heart and I feel so bad for this woman's family. The pedestrian accident lawsuit reportedly resulted in an award of $2.5 million to Smith's daughter, who was 2 years old at the time of the accident, and an additional $800,000 to Smith's mother.

As a Plantation Wrongful Death Attorney, I agree with most of the allegations in this case. The wrongful death lawsuit also alleged that Smith's death could have been avoided if there was a sidewalk to prevent pedestrian accidents.

This particular pedestrian accident was at least the fourth fatality on that same portion of the road in 2008 alone. It seems readily apparent that the government should have made the necessary safety improvements, given the likelihood that these pedestrian accidents would keep occurring. Unfortunately, in Florida there are some very specific and archaic limitations that could prevent a similar outcome. These limitations may prevent a Florida court from finding that a Florida municipality would have had a duty to install a sidewalk or guard rails or some combination of safety measures for pedestrians. Instead, the court would impose a duty to properly maintain them, only if those measures were installed and in disrepair.

Therefore, in Florida, personal injury lawsuits against the government can be very tricky to navigate. As a result of the previous pedestrian deaths, it would have been reasonable to expect additional accidents or deaths. Unfortunately, unlike in Maryland, the State of Florida may not have been liable under the same allegations even though the government should have foreseen this hazard and made the necessary improvements to protect its people.

Recently, the family of Laboyish Catlin received a $3 million award in the wrongful death lawsuit that the family filed on behalf on Mr. Catlin. As a Medical Malpractice Attorney in Weston, the story of this case is very difficult to stomach and I greatly sympathize with the family. The man bled to death several days after his ulcer surgery and according to the allegations, Mr. Catlin bled to death because of the medical staff's negligent care. The medical malpractice lawsuit further alleges that even though Mr. Catlin received several blood transfusions after the surgery, that the doctors could not stop the bleeding. At the crux of the lawsuit, the family's personal injury lawyer claimed that the medical team failed to provide sufficient and proper follow-up care.

In these types of cases, the plaintiff's attorney needs to prove that the doctors and nurses were negligent with regards to their care of the patient. As a Weston Medical Malpractice Lawyer, I would have advised the family about expectations of care. Hypothetically speaking, I would have explained that one of the keys to winning this case is whether the medical provider fell below the prevailing standard of care in this or a like medical community. Based on the result of the case, it is fairly obvious that the family's personal injury lawyer successfully proved these elements to be true.

What makes this case more tragic is the wrongful death of Mr. Catlin. In the simplest terms, he was a patient who expected that his doctors and nurses would perform their jobs to the utmost of their abilities. However, as a result of their alleged negligence and their alleged failure to provide proper follow-up care, he suffered and ultimately died. The family's wrongful death attorney likely argued points similar to what I've mentioned and applied them to the specific facts of this case.

As a Weston Medical Malpractice Lawyer, and as someone who has fought for victims' families in many wrongful death lawsuits, I understand the severity of the situation, which is why I want wish Mr. Catlin's family peace and happiness going forward.
