One of the most familiar sounds of summer is that of the running lawn mower. A pastime for some and a chore for others, the use of the home lawn mower can be satisfying and necessary, but it can also be dangerous. Shockingly, more than 200,000 people were hurt in lawn mower accidents requiring medical care in 2007, many of them children. While mistakes and accidents can lead to a lawnmower injury, problems with lawn mower parts such as starters, brake locks, blades, fuel pumps and motors can also be the cause of a lawn mower injury. If you or a loved one has been hurt by a lawn mower in So Cal, call 1-800-ALAWPRO to talk to a lawyer for free.

Both push mowers and riding mowers pose risks to adults and children alike. Common lawn mower injuries include lacerations, burns, bone fractures and amputations. Injuries to legs, feet, toes, face and eyes are all potential lawn mower hazards. About 850 kids get run over by a reversing lawn mower annually, most of them boys.

As reported in an earlier blog, a blast at a ConAgra Slim Jim processing plant in North Carolina killed 3 employees. Now two workers who were hurt in the explosion are suing a sub-contractor hired by ConAgra. The lawsuit comes after the United States Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives conducted an investigation finding that the blast occurred as the result of a gas leak started in a pump room. That pump room was last serviced by the sub-contracting company being sued. The employees launching the legal action sustained injuries including serious burns as well as head, back and leg injuries. One of them remains hospitalized.

In another deadly food plant-related incident, Tyson Foods must pay $500,000 and serve probation for one year as the result of a worker death that occurred in an Arkansas plant. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) investigation found that the food giant committed “a willful violation of worker safety regulations,” after an employee was poisoned to death by hydrogen sulfide gas fumes created by chicken feather decomposition. Tyson is calling the incident accidental.

When hospital or clinic staff makes an error or a patient is unnecessarily harmed, the medical center may be at fault for medical malpractice. Southern California is home to numerous places providing medical care including doctors’ private practices, county hospitals, university and teaching hospitals, county and free clinics, and more. If you leave your place of care in worse condition than you entered, you should seek legal advice now by calling 1-800-ALAWPRO to speak with an Irvine injury attorney for free.

A woman who entered University of California at Irvine (UCI) Medical Center in 2005 for hip surgery, ended up with chronic pain in following the procedure. The 30-year-old victim sued the OC hospital for her injuries, and the jury found that the hospital and the doctor performing the surgery neglected to inform and warn the woman about potentially life-altering complications. The trial ended in an award for $2.9 million; however, due to award ceiling caps in California the woman will likely receive around $250,000.

A family outing to the zoo can turn from a good time to disaster when the zoo or park is unsafe. Dangerous rides, including trams or trains, poorly or improperly erected animal enclosures, or faulty bleachers at shows or performances can lead to accidents causing injury or death to innocent zoo visitors. A deadly tiger attack at the San Francisco Zoo in 2007 has come to a settlement for two of the attack survivors. At another U.S. zoo, 22 children and adults were hospitalized after the zoo train derailed and crashed. Call 1-800-ALAWPRO now if you or a loved one has been hurt at a California Zoo.

The SF Zoo tiger attack has been making headlines since it occurred in late 2007, killing a 17-year old. Now the two men who survived the attack are being given $900,000 by the zoo as a settlement. The brothers sued the zoo for negligence, insisting that the tiger’s enclosure was not up to safety standards due to its low wall height. The recommended height by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums was four feet higher, and apparently the zoo had received warning regarding the wall.

In the other zoo incident, the zoo’s train allegedly sped up while going through a tunnel and, as it exited, rounded a curve going too fast and derailed. The train at the Louisville Zoo in Kentucky flipped onto its side with 30 people on board. A family who was on board is suing the zoo for gross negligence. Members of the family, which include a 2-year old, suffered injuries included head lacerations and a severely broken leg. Reports have surfaced of the 18-year-old female train operator acting strange. In all 17 children and five adults were hospitalized. Driver error and equipment malfunction are being considered as possible causes of the accident that is under investigation.

Here is a list of all California zoos where multiple dangers can lurk for unassuming visitors:

Aquarium of the Bay
Birch Aquarium
Cabrillo Marine Aquarium
Feline Conservation Center
Fresno Chaffee Zoo
Happy Hollow Zoo
The Living Desert
Los Angeles Zoo
Micke Grove Zoo
Monterey Bay Aquarium
Oakland Zoo
Sacramento Zoo
Safari West
San Diego Wild Animal Park
San Diego Zoo
San Francisco Zoo
Santa Ana Zoo
Santa Barbara Zoological Gardens
Sequoia Park Zoo

Senior citizens and their loved ones have the expectation that the care received at a nursing home is, at the very least, competent. While every assisted living facility, or nursing home, resident has different needs, it is the responsibility of the home and its staff to provide a standard of care that does not harm or risk the lives on patients. When the standard of care is inadequate, the nursing home could be negligent. Nursing home negligence can lead to severe injury or death of elderly residents. Negligent care includes not providing adequate nourishment, supervision, or hygienic care. Learn more about nursing home/assisted residential living facility negligence and elder abuse at www.alawpro.com. Two separate Orange County nursing homes have been fined after negligent care resulted in patient death. If you believe that you or a loved one has been hurt or died due to nursing home negligence, call 1-800-ALAWPRO and speak to a California lawyer for free.

Huntington Valley Healthcare Center in Huntington Beach has been fined $80,000 by the California Department of Public Health after a patient died. Apparently the nursing staff believed, mistakenly, that the elderly resident had a DNR (Due Not Resuscitate) order. When the patient had a heart attack, they did not attempt to revive him or call paramedics.

Alamitos West Health Care Center in Los Alamito, OC, has been fined $100,000 by the CA Dept. of Public Health. State officials found the nursing home negligent for failing to provide an 82-year old female resident with proper fluid intake, resulting in her death. They also discovered that the facility did not heed doctor’s orders regarding the patient and kept shoddy records of her progress and care. The woman died after being hospitalized with dehydration, a bladder infection, and altered mental status.
