Heparin, a drug made by Baxter Healthcare Corp. has been embroiled in multiple lawsuits regarding both contamination and overdoses due to dangerous packaging. Heparin, an anti-coagulant or blood thinner, is used to thin and prevent blood clots in both adults and children. A scandal regarding contaminated Heparin from a plant in China resulted in a large Heparin recall. When the twin infants of actor Dennis Quaid were nearly killed from a Heparin overdose, the misleading packaging of Heparin was thrust into the media spotlight. Quaid has filed a negligence lawsuit against the makers of Heparin. Both Heparin contaminations and overdoses can lead to death.

The actor Dennis Quaid and his wife have reached a $750,000 with Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles in regards to their infant twins' near-fatal Heparin overdose. Similar packaging for different amounts of Heparin has resulted in babies receiving 1,000 times more Heparin than intended. At Cedars-Sinai, the Quaid babies were accidentally given this type of Heparin overdose by nurses who extracted medication from the wrong vials. Per the hospital, three separate lapses in safety protocol led to the overdose. Cedars has already been fined $25,000 by California regulators for not following procedure regarding pediatric use of Heparin. Additionally, the Quaid family has filed a negligence lawsuit against Baxter, the makers of Heparin. The suit states that Baxter's Heparin packaging design and labels are dangerous, and that Baxter chose not to recall the confusingly packaged vials, even though they knew of their deadly potential.

A new report from the World Heath Organization (WHO) has discovered striking new information about the role of accidents in children's death. In places like the US, 40% of all child deaths are due to accidents. More than 12,000 kids die accidentally in the US annually, more than from disease. Responsible for the fatalities are: traffic accidents (involving cars, buses, bicycles and other vehicles), drowning, poisoning, falls, dog bites and burns from fire. Defective or unsafe products like toys, pools, bottles, food and containers can attribute to deadly accidents as well. To learn more, please visit our website at www.alawpro.com.

In the US, motor vehicle accidents are the leading cause of death for children aged 15-19, while fatalities from drowning, fire, falls and poison are among the top 15 causes. In most cases, children die when they are vehicle passengers, but tragedy can also strike child driver, pedestrians, and bicyclists. Per the report's overseer, countries like the US do not do enough to prevent childhood accidents. Recommendations include (1) caveats on teen driver's licenses, (2) special car seats for children under 8, and (3) enforcement of seatbelt laws for teens. Here is a list of potential hazards for accidental death of children of all ages:

Car Crashes
Bus and Truck Accidents
Pedestrian and Bicycle Collisions
Drowning in tub, pool or hot tub
Poisoning from food, formula or toys
Suffocation from toys or bedding
Dog bites (especially to head and neck)
Burns from hot water and house, kitchen or mechanical fires
Falls from windows, beds, trampolines, child seats or walkers

A government emissions report has been analyzed by USA Today in an effort to find which schools are located in areas with toxic air. Poor air quality is a danger to anyone who lives in it. Areas around factories, chemical plants and other industrial waste sites are generally more toxic, and they are no place for schools. Still, the analysis found many schools are in close proximity to such toxicity. The air quality at these schools poses a grave risk to the students who grow up attending them. High chemical concentrations exist in the air around hundreds of schools, including those in Oro Grande, CA. Cancer and other health risks may result from exposure to such high toxic levels of an extended period of time. If you believe that you or a loved one has become ill or died after exposure to dangerous emissions in California, please get free advice from a lawyer at 1-800-ALAWPRO.

Industrial pollution such as that from factories, chemical plants, plastics plants and refineries, release toxins like metals and carcinogens into the air. At one school, the chemical levels of pollution led to a shut down when the Environmental Protection Agency showed people were 50 more likely to get cancer there. Unfortunately, many schools are close to such dangers, and children are at a higher risk for illness from exposure that adults. Cancer is just one of the potential outcomes. Some of the California schools with the worst air quality include those in Oro Grande, Vista and San Ramon. To check the air quality of a school near you go to: http://content.usatoday.com/news/nation/environment/smokestack/search/CA/~/~/~/name/~/1/.

Escalators are one of most highly used pieces of equipment in heavily trafficked public places such as malls and airports. In 2007, almost 11,000 escalator users were injured per a US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) estimate. While some say that escalators are safe, others say they pose a risk. Escalator accidents can include slips, trips, falls, or entrapment, where a body part gets sucked in to part of the escalator. These accidents can lead to serious injuries including severe laceration, head injuries, broken bones, bleeding and amputation. To learn more, visit our website at www.alawpro.com. Have you or a loved one been injured on a California escalator? Then call 1-800-ALAWPRO to speak to a lawyer at no cost.

The 11,000 reported escalator injuries were all treated at hospitals. Twenty three of the incidents involved head injuries. Crocs, a rubbery shoe, have been blamed for multiple injuries to children while riding on escalators. Crocs will begin to carry a warning on their shoes. But other shoes, including regular tennis shoes, have also entrapped feet into the escalator's mechanism. The gap between the steps and the side of the escalators can create friction causing shoes, feet and hands to be sucked into the open space. Safety regulation of escalators varies, but in some cases the escalator owners, not professional regulators, are responsible for maintenance. This can lead to a higher risk for riders. Mangled feet and hands have been reported as escalator injuries, as well as gashes to the head and knees.

If you have been hurt on an escalator in Southern California, you may be entitled to compensation for your loss. Contact the Rudman Law Firm, PLC for help now.

A new report by the Los Angeles Times reveals that Metrolink chose not to install an automatic brake system 20 years ago. Metrolink, LA's rail line, has been involved in 38 passenger deaths since 2008. Most recently, a Metrolink crash with a Union Pacific freight train in Chatsworth killed 25 people and wounded 135. Per the LA Times investigation, the auto brake system would have prevented the fatal crash. Been hurt in a Metrolink train accident? Call 1-800-LAWPRO to talk with a lawyer at no cost now.

A national newspaper is reporting that deaths and crashes in air ambulances are on the rise. Medical helicopters provide an invaluable service; however, it appears that pilots, medical workers and patients are at increased risk for crashing due to lax safety regulations. Med chopper crashes are occurring most often at night and in poor weather conditions. Copter crashes can be fiery and deadly for all occupants. If you or a loved one has been involved in an air ambulance crash in California, call us at 1-800-ALAWPRO to receive a free interview with a lawyer.

According to the National Safety and Transportation Board (NTSB) there have been 65 deadly air ambulance accidents since 1989, and 28 people died in them this year. The paper reports that a number of factors are contributing to the recent heightened crash risk. A rise in the number of medical helicopter service providers has created a climate of competition. Helicopter companies are willing to take greater risk to stay in business, risking the lives of professional lifesaving crews. Safety officials are considering advanced sensor devices and stricter flying rules. Stronger regulations exist for medical helicopters once a passenger is onboard. Air ambulances crashes can be the result of mechanical failure, but poor visibility from snow, rain or fog, can lead to choppers crashing into power lines, buildings and mountains.

Two decades ago there were only around 100 air ambulances services, and now there are over 900. Here's a list of some California carriers:

Aeromedevac
Air Methods

Rollover accidents are arguably the most deadly type of car crash. When the vehicle overturns, the roof often caves in, either crushing or trapping passengers. The results can include brain and spinal injuries, burn injuries and death. Many believe that only SUV's, buses or trucks can roll over; however, any vehicle, small and mid-sized cars included, can rollover. A higher center of gravity, as found in SUV's, can contribute to the likelihood of rolling over. Some cars have been redesigned to limit roll over potential. Rollover accidents are often single-car crashes. To learn more about rollovers, visit our website at www.alawpro.com.

Martin Luther King, Jr.-Harbor Medical Center has since been closed, having been found unable to provide a minimum standard of care. An LA Times investigation found that the hospital paid out more than $20 million in malpractice suits and settlements from 199-2003. Prior to the leaking of the county's own document, they had offered $250,000 to the victim's boyfriend, who called 911 from the ER in an attempt to get his girlfriend medical care. He is suing the county for emotional distress. The victim's children are suing for wrongful death and asking for $1 million for each minute that she could have been helped. It is unclear as to how the assessment and acknowledgement of negligence from the hospital's own lawyers will affect the pending cases.

Getting into an accident with a tractor trailer is often fatal due to the trailer’s size and mass. In addition, tractor trailers have restricted control of their brakes. Many times when a tractor trailer brakes hard, it might already be too late to avoid an accident. Speeding tractor trailers are extremely dangerous on the road because they cannot stop their vehicle in time and their drivers have restricted control over their vehicles. In an accident that happened last year, a speeding tractor trailer caused a pile up that led to three unfortunate deaths.

The accident happened on the interstate 5 freeway. The driver of the tractor trailer was driving faster than 65 miles per hour in the rain when he lost control. The trailer crashed into median and more than 30 vehicles piled up behind the trailer.
