METROLINK CRASH INJURES CAR & COMMUTER TRAIN PASSENGERS. PACOIMA LAWYERS ARE HERE TO HELP YOU.

Wed, 30 Dec 2009 16:58:24 -0800

So Cal train accidents can involve commuter trails, freight rail lines, cars, or pedestrians, and that means that road vehicle or train occupants can get hurt or killed in crashes. When a commuter train is involved in a crash, multiple partied may be responsible: train engineers, rail maintenance companies, Metrolink, and others. Discovering who is to blame is complicated, so if you or a loved one has been involved in a train-related accident in the San Fernando Valley, get legal help now at 1-800-ALAWPRO.

A San Fernando Valley chain-reaction crash involving a Metrolink commuter train resulted in the injuries of 6 people including train, car and pickup truck occupants. The train hit a pickup truck that had been struck by a car attempting to avoid an ambulance. The crash happened on railroad tracks running parallel to a major road in Pacoima. Four car and truck passengers suffered major injuries while 8 train passengers had minor injuries.

Meanwhile Metrolink is in the news for other reasons: bypassing a federally safety requirement. Apparently Metrolink was allowed a waiver, allowing the rail service to bypass posting signs reminding their train operators to slow down after exiting a rail station. An LA area train crash that killed more than two dozen people last year allegedly involved the engineer speeding after leaving a station.

ELDER ABUSE AT VENTURA COUNTY NURSING HOME RESULTS IN $7.75 MILLION AWARD.

Sun, 27 Dec 2009 10:41:10 -0800

Nursing homes, also known as convalescent centers or senior residential facilities, should provide ease and comfort as they service residents who are ill and/or late in life. But nursing homes can quickly become places of fear and terror if elder abuse is present. Elder abuse manifests in a variety of forms: physical, emotional, financial, sexual, and more. Abuse of the elderly is illegal, and in nursing homes, elder abuse may appear as negligence in the form of lax, inappropriate, or improper care. Learn more about abuse at nursing homes and who is liable at www.alawpro.com. If you believe you or a loved one has been hurt or killed as the result of nursing home abuse in Ventura County, call 1-800-ALAWPRO and speak with a lawyer for free today.

A patient at the Fillmore Convalescent Center in Ventura County was abused by an employee, and her family sued the nursing home, ultimately collecting $7.75 million. The family suspected their loved one, who was unable to speak due to a stroke, was being abused and installed hidden cameras to investigate. They recorded a convalescent home worker physically abusing the 71-year-old woman by hair pulling, neck, finger and wrist bending, slapping, and more. Other instances of abuse at the center are also suspected. The residential nursing facility recently got a 5-star rating (the best offered) from Medicaid and Medicare service organizations.

If you or someone close to you has been the victim of elder abuse at a nursing care home or facility, get in touch with the Law Team at Greenberg & Rudman LLP. We have more than 50 years combined legal experience with which to serve you. Call us for your free and confidential consultation at 1-800-ALAWPRO (1-800-252-9776). We will fight for you.

WINDOW BLIND & SHADE RECALL LARGEST EVER. CALIFORNIA LAWYER CAN HELP IF YOUR CHILD HAS BEEN HURT OR KILLED.

Sat, 26 Dec 2009 22:36:00 -0800

Product recalls target available products that have the potential to harm the public. Many times, recalls come too late, after any number of children or adults have been hurt or even killed by a dangerous product. In an effort to combat increasing deaths and injuries, the nation’s main watchdog organization for product recalls has recently beefed up their recalls of products that can kill or injure children. As evidence, a variety of cribs and beds, as well as strollers and window coverings have been recalled recently after infants and children have died or been hurt during use. Now the US Consumer Product Safety Commission has announced its largest product recall ever, recalling all window roll-up blinds with cords as well as all Roman shades due to the potential for hurting children. If your family has suffered the death or injury of a child due to window shades or blinds in California, please call 1-800-ALAWPRO for legal help today.

More than 50 million window coverings are affected by the recall. The danger lies in the potential for suffocation and/or strangulation. Window blind and shade cords can strangle children who mistakenly wrap the cords around their necks. Roman shades pose a hazard to children who can become entrapped between the shade’s fabric and the inner cord. Rollup blinds’ lifting loops and fabric hold the same potential risks for suffocation. In the past 3 years, over a dozen children have nearly died after being strangled by Roman shades, and five actually were killed. Three child deaths in the past 8 years have occurred as a result of roll-up blind accidents. Learn more about wrongful death and product liability at www.alawpro.com.

The Law Firm to call in California if your family has been the victim of a window shade accident is Greenberg & Rudman LLP. We have more than 50 years combined legal experience. While we can never undo the unthinkable damage that has been done, we can help you seek answers and compensation for your losses. Let one of our experienced attorneys help you when you call 1-800-ALAWPRO (1-800-252-9776). We are here for you.

Wed, 25 Nov 2009 17:15:01 -0800

American consumers assume that products they purchase are safe for themselves and their families. But when recalls of essential and important items such as food, medications and children’s products are announced, buyers are understandably shaken. Products that put children at inherent risk, such as tainted formula or baby food, unsafe cribs or beds, flammable clothing, lead-containing toys, or defective strollers, leave parents upset and concerned. A recent stroller recall of 1 million strollers was announced after the carriages were found to pose a finger amputation risk to children. Learn more about product liability at www.alawpro.com. If you or your family member has been hurt by a dangerous stroller or other children’s product in California, call 1-800-ALAWPRO and speak to a lawyer at no cost today.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has announced the voluntary recall of approximately 1 million Maclaren strollers. Reportedly, 12 children were victims of fingertip amputation when their hands became caught in side hinges. Three other non-amputation injuries were also cited as reason for the recall. The injuries occurred over the past ten years, with a steep increase in the past two years. Umbrella strollers are the version affect by the recall, some of which have been on the market since 1999. Major retailers including Target and Babies ‘R’ Us have carried the products. Mac Laren is providing protective side covers to customers who request them, and prior to or in lieu of receiving the covers, the CPSC requests that adults open and close the strollers away from children’s reach.
