Last year, a Metrolink accident resulted in the injury of several dozen passengers. After an investigation of the incident, it was determined that the accident occurred because the conductor was text messaging on his cell phone and had been negligent in his duties. Some train accidents occur because of unfortunate circumstances that could not have been prevented—for example, extreme weather conditions or freak accidents. However, other accidents, like the Metrolink accident in 2008, are entirely preventable and can be attributed to the negligence of a person or company. In these kinds of situations, there may be legal remedies for the injured victims to obtain compensation.

On Thursday, August 27, 2009, there was another Metrolink accident in Oxnard. There was initially an accident on the railroad tracks involving two vehicles. Firefighters were trying to free an injured man from his vehicle when the train struck one of the vehicles that was left partially on the tracks. The Metrolink train stopped at the scene for more than an hour. No one on the train was injured, but the passengers in the vehicles were injured and transported to a hospital to be treated. In this circumstance, it is not entirely clear who was at fault in the incident, and would likely need to be investigated further.

The United States Consumer Product Safety Commission examines the safety of certain products that are used by Americans and makes sure that if safety issues arise, the products are recalled and the announcement is well known to the public. Normally, major companies who manufacture the product will cooperate with the Commission and help with the recall process. However, getting the product recall news into the public’s eye may be a difficult task and may leave many who were injured without any legal recourse. Have you or a loved one been injured by a certain product? If so, call the attorneys of Greenberg & Rudman LLP at 1-800-252-9776 (1-800-ALAWPRO) for a free consultation of your case.

On Wednesday, August 26, 2009, over five million window blinds and coverings were recalled by the Consumer Product Safety Commission because three children died and seven more were injured by the blinds. These shades pose a danger to children because of their exposed cords and loops. There is a long list of stores participating in the recall, as well as several manufacturers listed whose products are being recalled. Six of the incidents of near strangulation have involved the Pottery Barn Kids’ Roman shades in which children have become entangled in the looped pull cords or inner cords.

If you child has been injured by these window blinds, then you may be entitled to compensation for your damages. Under the law, manufacturers may be responsible for their products if they are dangerous when used, particularly when it causes damage. Call the attorneys at Greenberg & Rudman LLP now for your free consultation—we can be reached at 1-800-252-9776 (1-800-ALAWPRO).

Product liability takes a prominent place in civil law because of the injuries that may happen as a result of certain products. There are certain products that have “strict liability” attached to them. Companies have strict liability for those products that are unreasonably dangerous, even if the company was not responsible for making them defective. Another type of defect is the manufacture product defect, which occurs when a specific product comes out differently than all of the other similar products and causes injury to someone. There are also product design defects, which is when the defect is common to all of the same products but cause injury because of its specific design.

Recently, two more children were killed in Simplicity bassinets, bringing the total to four deaths between 2008 and this year. The bassinets had a design defect in which the Simplicity 3-in-1 and 4-in-1 convertible bassinets had metal bars that were placed farther apart than federal standards allow. If the bassinet bars were not properly covered by the Velcro-attached fabric, then children could become caught in the pocket that the fabric made, or could become stuck between the exposed bars. One of the children died because she was trapped between the exposed metal bars and the other suffocated because she was caught in the fabric.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission has recalled over 900,000 bassinets that have been sold between 2001 and this year. If you or a family member has one of these bassinets, and your child has suffered injury as a result of this product, then you need to call the attorneys at Greenberg & Rudman LLP immediately for a free and confidential consultation. We have over 50 years of combined experience in personal injury law. Call us now at 1-800-252-9776 (1-800-ALAWPRO), or visit our website www.alawpro.com for more information.

It may be difficult for parents to let go of their children, but at some point, those kids will be in the care of someone else, whether it be a professional child care provider or babysitter. For a professional child care provider, the costs are generally higher than hiring a babysitter and those care providers may be required to go through a governmental agency for a license, or face inspections every so often. These child care providers are also responsible for any injuries that your child may suffer while in their care.

A jury in Clearwater, Florida on August 7, 2009, awarded a four year old boy $3 million in damages for an incident that occurred in 2006. The boy, son of Deon and April Esterhuizen, was in the care of a day care center called KinderCare, when his leg was broken by one of the employees. The incident occurred when the baby was squirming on the changing table and when the caregiver, Stacey Doty, became frustrated, she bent his leg until it broke. Throughout trial, there was testimony from other employees and witnesses about Doty’s inappropriate behavior toward the children. The lawsuit mainly centered on the potential that the boy could suffer brain injuries in the future from the incident. The jury awarded $250,000 for future medical costs, $750,000 for future pain and suffering and the other $2 million was awarded for punitive damages.

In this particular case involving KinderCare, the child care provider was working for a larger corporation, one that grossed $1.5 billion a year. The jury likely found negligence by the day care because there had been numerous reports of Doty’s behavior, and the company failed to monitor her properly. Has your child been injured while in the care of someone else? If so, you need to contact the attorneys at Greenberg & Rudman LLP immediately for a free and confidential consultation. You can reach us at 1-800-252-9776 (1-800-ALAWPRO). Go to our website, www.alawpro.com to read more about these types of incidents.

Many laypersons may only understand trial and litigation, which is what the public is often exposed to in television shows and movies. However, most civil cases do not go to trial, even if the cases last for a long time. In some criminal matters, the prosecution (state or federal government) may offer the defendant a plea bargain and if the two parties agree, then the case does not go to trial. There are numerous benefits to not going to trial, including the cost of exhibits, attorney fees, court fees and the possibility that a party may not win anything at trial, and could end up paying for the other party’s attorney’s fees.

There is another avenue for litigants—alternative dispute resolution. This path includes arbitration and mediation so that the parties may address their issues and potentially come to a resolution. Mediation may be required in very few cases, but is generally agreed to by both parties. The parties are not required to come to a conclusion, but the meeting with a neutral third party might help to iron out some major issues. Arbitration may be required in certain insurance policies, or contracts with major corporations. Different from mediation, arbitration involves a neutral third party making the final decision in the case, to which the two parties are bound.

Do you want to explore alternative dispute resolution paths in a potential case that you have? Then you should contact the experienced attorneys at Greenberg & Rudman LLP now for a free consultation at 1-800-252-9776 (1-800-ALAWPRO).

Trains carrying a heavy load of freight or several passenger cars might not be able to stop in time for pedestrians on the tracks or cars parked illegally over railroad tracks. The conductor may hit the emergency brake in time, or blow his horn, but in desperate times, little else may be done before a collision occurs. In an accident on August 11, 2009, west of the 91 Freeway, Howard Clark was driving on the freeway when he swerved from the left lane to the right shoulder, hit the guard rail and rolled down an embankment before landing on railroad tracks. A passing train struck the car on its passenger side before the car turned over onto its roof. Clark was pronounced dead at the scene.

According to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, in 2007, there were eight fatalities that resulted from train accidents and collisions. Of the eight fatalities, four of them were a result of the train’s derailment. A total of 2,580 accidents occurred in 2007, 200 of which were collisions. Four passengers on trains were killed as a result of accidents in 2007, and 630 trespassers on the railroad tracks were killed in accidents. Most of the trespasser fatalities occurred on the railroad while a smaller number occurred at the grade crossing. There was a total of $305.3 million in damages from train accidents in 2007.

In these tough economic times, motorcycles may become more popular because they are efficient on gas, may take less money to maintain and saves time in traffic. However, there are downsides to riding a motorcycle. There is very little protection for the rider, aside from his helmet and any protective gear that he may be wearing. Although California law allows motorcyclists to “straddle lanes,” meaning that the riders are able to go in the middle of two lanes while there is traffic, in order to bypass the cars. This poses its own dangers because of reckless drivers who may change lanes without checking their mirrors.

In Ventura County on Highway 101 on August 11, 2009, a motorcyclist was struck by a motor home; the rider of the motorcycle was pronounced dead on the scene. According to witnesses and the driver of the motor home, the biker had been making obscene hand gestures to the motor home driver and had pulled in front of the motor home and suddenly braked. Officials reported that the motor home was traveling at about 55 miles per hour and could not have avoided hitting the motorcyclist. The biker was dragged for about 75 feet underneath the motor home. In another accident on Thursday, August 13, a motorcyclist was killed on the Highway 110 transition to the 105 Freeway. In this accident, the motorcyclist hit a wall and fell down an embankment.

If a motorcyclist is involved in an accident with a larger vehicle, chances are that he will sustain more serious injuries than passengers within the other car. Personal injury lawsuit success depends on the circumstances of each case, and particularly on who was at fault during the accident.

Some of the major risk factors for drowning deaths are lack of barriers and supervision. For example, injuries might be prevented if there are effective barriers constructed around hot tubs and swimming pools, or if there is adequate adult supervision for children playing in the water. In fact, children under one year of age most often drown in bathtubs, buckets or toilets, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Surprisingly, most young children who drown in swimming pools were last seen in the house, and were under the supervision of one or both parents, and drowned within five to ten minutes of disappearing from their parents’ view.

On August 3, 2009, Aden Sanborn of Hemet was found in a backyard pool and was pronounced dead at a local hospital. Emergency personnel performed CPR on him before they rushed him to the hospital. There was no further information released on the case. The CDC suggests that a responsible adult should always be responsible for watching children in the pool area, and that children should always swim with a buddy. Adults should also avoid drinking alcohol before or during swimming. For people who have a swimming pool at home, effective barriers should be installed in order to protect children from the area.

If you child was injured at a pool where there was supposed to be adequate protection, then you may be entitled to damages that your child suffered. In order to find out your rights and to protect you and your family, you should contact the attorneys at Greenberg & Rudman LLP immediately for a free consultation.

The summertime heat may mean that more kids are doing water activities or spending time around the pool at school, day care and at home. However, children’s activities around water may be very dangerous and can lead to serious injuries and even death. If children are at school, summer camp, or a day care, then these facilities are likely responsible for the care of your children and their safety, particularly around pools, lakes or the ocean. If these caretakers fail to properly supervise your child, then you may have a negligence civil lawsuit on your hands—call Greenberg & Rudman LLP at 1-800-252-9776 (1-800-ALAWPRO) for a free consultation.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there were on average 10 drownings per day in 2005 in the United States. Approximately 25% of the drowning victims were under the age of 14, and for each child who died as a result of drowning, another four received emergency medical care for nonfatal submersion injuries. Males are four times more likely than females to die from unintentional drowning. Small children may be particularly susceptible to drowning because they may even drown in a small pool of sedentary water (bucket, toilet, etc.) in addition to large water areas.

There are thousands of car accidents that happen every day—some of them result in property damage to vehicles, others result in slight injuries and still others result in serious injuries or fatalities. If the wrongdoer who caused the accident (and in some cases, it may be the fault of multiple parties) was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol, and was driving legally, then the matter will likely stay a civil matter between the two parties and/or their insurance companies. However, if the wrongdoer leaves the scene of the accident without exchanging their information or seeking treatment for the victim, then they may be charged with hit and run and could face other criminal charges and jail time.

On August 5, 2009, Manuel Garcia was fatally struck near Guthrie Avenue and Coming Street in Culver City. He suffered severe head trauma and was declared dead at the scene. The next day, the driver of the vehicle that struck him and fled the scene of the accident was arrested and charged with felony hit-and-run. In another accident on August 7, there was another hit-and-run victim found in the street at the intersection of Western Avenue and 78th Street in Los Angeles. Officials are still investigating the accident and searching for the driver of the car. Finally in an accident in the early morning hours of August 9, a victim was found at South Atlantic Avenue and Linsley Street after the driver fled the scene. Officials are looking for a vehicle with front end damage. The victim is in critical condition.

If the drivers had stopped after they hit the pedestrians, sought help and cooperated with investigators, they may not have faced criminal charges. However, because they fled the scene of the accident, they will likely be charged criminally. If they had stayed and helped the victims, the victims may not have suffered such critical injuries, or they may not have died from their injuries.

Many people may be unaware that civil lawsuits will expire within a certain period of time, and that if they do not file their lawsuits with the statutory period, then they are unable to bring the claim in the future. Almost all court cases, including criminal cases, have a statute of limitations barring how much time individuals have to file their claims. Crimes usually have a longer statute of limitations than civil cases, while specific cases like murder do not have a limitation at all. In order to protect your rights and to make sure that the statute of limitations has not run out on your claim, contact the attorneys at Greenberg & Rudman LLP now at 1-800-252-9776 (1-800-ALAWPRO).

The statute of limitations is different for every case and is created by the state legislature and then enacted into law. These laws are set in place so that trials can take place in a timely matter and so that the evidence is well preserved. If people are allowed too much time to file their lawsuit, the relevant evidence may disappear. For example, eye witnesses may move away, or die, and physical evidence might be destroyed by time or nature. The statute of limitations “tolls” or begins once the incident that caused the injury occurred. Many civil lawsuits have a statute of limitations of one to three years, and unless the victim falls under a certain exception, there is very little chance that he/she will be able to bring the lawsuit after the expired time period.

Are you concerned that you have a potential case that might have exceeded its statute of limitations? In order to find out your rights and your options, you should contact the experienced lawyers at Greenberg & Rudman LLP. We have over 50 years of combined experience and have collected over $150 million in verdicts and judgments.
