Two separate accidents with government-related buses and trucks occurred within a week in So Cal. In Silver Lake, a truck slammed into a Metro bus. Four bus passengers were hospitalized with injuries. In LA, a Caltrans truck and a car had an accident on the 210 (Foothill) Freeway. The five car occupants were all hurt and hospitalized.

In Washington State, a woman who was hit by a Metro van has received $7 million in a settlement with the local county following her lawsuit. The victim was riding her Vespa scooter to work when the public transit van allegedly ran a stop sign and failed to yield her right of way. The impact of the crash sent the woman flying 40 feet. She was in a coma for days after the crash. Her injuries included a severely broken leg with a compound fracture, as well as extensive internal injuries. In addition to the dangerous actions of the county van driver, attorneys also claimed that the intersection where the accident occurred was unsafe.

Injuries that happen on public property may be the fault of the property owners or managers. Schools, both public and private, can be liable for accidents that happen on their premises.

Locations of such school accidents can include athletic facilities, cafeterias, dormitories, classrooms, and hallways. Maintenance and safe keeping of these areas is nearly always the responsibility of the school, so if you or your child has been hurt on school property in Southern Cal, speak a lawyer at no cost by calling 1-800-ALAWPRO now.

In Nevada, a high school football player sustained a serious ankle injury while on his school’s practice field. He is suing the school for $350,000 and claims that the injury negatively impacted his chances for getting a college scholarship. The lawsuit alleges that the field was in a “deplorable” condition with standing water, rocks, and weeds. The suit also claims that other student injuries had occurred on the field, and that the school was aware of the situation.

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.

Southern California has several amusement parks to offer to families on vacation in the summer and on the weekends. However, if these amusement parks are improperly or negligently maintained, then it may pose a danger to the people who visit. Many of the large amusement parks have special maintenance teams whose sole purpose is to check on the safety of the rides each and every day. If the rides malfunction, and people get injured on the rides, then those injured may be able to obtain compensation for their injuries. Have you been injured at an amusement park because of the negligence of someone else? Then call Greenberg & Rudman LLP now at 1-800-252-9776 (1-800-ALAWPRO).

Two people were injured at Knott’s Berry Farm on Wednesday, September 16, 2009 on the ride Xcelerator. The incident occurred around 4 p.m. and both people were taken to the hospital for their injuries. One of the injured was a 12 year old boy, who suffered lacerations to his leg, and the other was a man who complained of back pain. A video taken of the two was recorded and shows particles flying into the riders’ faces halfway through the ride. A spokesperson for Knott’s Berry Farm stated that the ride is inspected every day and that it was the first incident since the ride opened in 2002.

Since Knott’s Berry Farm, and other amusement parks like it sell tickets to visitors and allow them to come into the park, they owe the visitors a certain standard of care and have a certain duty to keep the park safe. Although these amusement parks may not be completely responsible for freak accidents like lightning storms, they are responsible for the care and maintenance of the rides in their park. Greenberg & Rudman LLP is committed to obtaining compensation for victims injured by the negligence of others. We do not have the power to undo an injury or bring back a loved one, but we can help you seek compensation. Call us now at 1-800-252-9776 (1-800-ALAWPRO) for your free and confidential consultation.

Riding a bicycle in Southern California may be a cheap and green way to get around, but as most bikers know, the dangers of bike riding are many. Not only do bicyclists have to contend with motor vehicle traffic and hazardous roads, bicycle defects and design flaws also pose serious dangers to cyclists. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has announced a number of voluntary recalls of bicycle parts and products, all of which pose a hazard to cyclists. Injuries already suffered by the products recalled include broken bones (wrists, collarbones, clavicles and more), severe lacerations, and head injuries. If you or a loved one has been injured on a bicycle in the LA area, call 1-800-ALAWPRO to speak to an attorney for free.

Often, there are recalls announced by the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission. These recalls are for products that were discovered to be unsafe, usually by an incident that occurred involving the product. There are numerous bicycle recalls, including the following:

• The Cannondale Bicycle 1-X Suspension Seat Post was recalled because they may have been improperly manufactured. The seat may fall prematurely and may lead to a crack in the bicycle seat post. The recalled products include the models “Adventure,” “Comfort,” “Road Warrior,” “Sport Road,” and “Touring”.
• The 2005 Novara Trionfo Bicycles have been recalled for the Aprebic carbon fiber forks, which have caused the rider to lose control and fall. There have been reports of injuries related to the forks, including broken teeth, facial damage and head injuries.
• Felt Bicycles have a fork steerer tube that could break, which can cause the rider to lose control and fall. The recall includes 2007/2008 Felt F1X Cyclocross Bicycles.
• All bicycles with a JD suspension fork. This includes the 2008 Cannondale Adventure series bicycles, but do not include bicycles with the Rock Shox i-ride forks.
• Norco Performance Bikes have been recalled because the frame can crack and separate. The models include “Team DH,” “Aline Park,” “Aline,” “Atomik” and “Shore”.
• Specialized Bicycle Components have recalled the Roubaix Comp and Roubaix Pro bicycles because of the cable stop on the bikes. These cable stops can loosen and can cause the rider to fall from the bike.

The consumers who have the above bicycles are encourages to return to their bicycle dealer and have the problem fixed. However, if you have already been injured by one of these bicycles, then you should call Greenberg & Rudman LLP to learn about your rights.

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). We represent people who have been seriously injured as well as the families of those who have been killed under wrongful death circumstances. We handle all cases on a contingency fee basis.

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.

Losing a child is an incredibly hard thing to overcome— let us handle the paperwork and formalities of a lawsuit while you and your family may recover emotionally. The attorneys at Greenberg & Rudman LLP are committed to obtaining compensation for victims injured by the negligence of others.

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.

Dog attacks are a frightening and dangerous occurrence. Pit bulls are among the most common breed known to attack humans. Dog attacks can strike pet owners, family members, or strangers. Injuries from dog bites include lacerations, broken bones, blood loss, and in some instances, the results are deadly. A toddler was mauled by a pit bull in Redondo Beach suffering serious facial injuries. If you or a loved one has been bitten or attacked by a dog in Southern California, please call 1-800-ALAWPRO to speak to a lawyer for free.

The Redondo Beach attacked occurred in the child’s home, and the dog was the family pet. The 17-month-old allegedly had contact with the dog’s tail prior to the attack. The animal’s response was to grab the child on his face and shake him violently. The boy’s mother was able to release the dog’s grip on the victim. The child’s injuries included lacerations, some severe, to the eye, cheek and forehead, which required hospitalization. The fate of the dog was yet to be decided.

Certain jobs can be more dangerous than others. But even for those who work with heavy machinery, at elevated heights, or with hazardous products, no job should threaten the life of an employee. Tree trimming can been deadly in Southern California, and whether trimmers and gardeners are employed privately or by the city or municipality, workers have rights if they have been hurt. A San Diego tree trimmer was injured after getting trapped by palm fronds this past week, and (as blogged on earlier) an Inglewood tree trimmer died last year after he fell into a word chipper. If you or a loved one has been involved in a work accident in So Cal, call 1-800-ALAWPRO and speak with a lawyer for free.

The San Diego incident occurred at a private residence as the trimmer was cutting a palm tree. The 40-year old worker suffered lacerations from the incident. Thankfully he was working with a partner who called the fire department for help. The firemen were able to rescue the tree trimmer who was buried under the palm fronds 40 feet up in the air, held their by the fronds and his safety line. In similar situations, the trimmer can suffocate and die under the vegetation, trapped by the leaves and the safety line. Learn more about workplace accidents and who is to blame at www.alawpro.com.

There were three major rail crash accidents in the past 10 months in the US, and now there has been a fourth. Californians rely on public transportation in many forms including buses, minibuses, vans, trains, subways, and light rail, and, as a public transportation user, you have every right to a safe transit and commute. But a string of rail or train accidents have left both Northern and Southern California riders reeling. A Muni Metro light rail train rear-ended another train at a boarding platform in San Francisco, hurting 47 people. Whether train accidents are the fault of operator error, product malfunction or debris on the tracks, injured passengers need legal counsel immediately. Call 1-800-ALAWPRO now if you or a loved one has been hurt in a CA rail or train crash.

The SF metro light rail accident occurred in the afternoon when the Municipal Railway L train slammed into a K train. Of the 47 injured people, four were seriously hurt, and 15 went to the ER. Injuries included lacerations, broken ribs and concussions. According to the SF transit workers union, the train driver blacked out due to a medical condition prior to the crash. Investigators have found that the train was on manual mode, against regulations, in an attempt to speed up boarding and unloading. Apparently, switching from automatic to manual to hurry stops is a common but forbidden practice. The auto mode is designed to prevent collisions, among other things.

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.

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

Dog attacks can happen to nearly anyone, but when an animal control officer is bitten, it makes non-professionals appear even more at risk. Dog bites can be deadly. If an animal attacks a major artery or blood vessel, or if the attack is particularly vicious, wounds and blood loss can kill the victim. Or if the victim is a child, elderly person, or someone unable to defend themselves, an animal attack can be fatal. Injuries incurred in a dog attack can include lacerations, broken bones and amputation. Pit bulls are often responsible for dog attacks, but other breeds can attack humans unprovoked. If you or someone close to you has been hurt or killed in a dog attack in the Southland, call 1-800-ALAWPRO to talk to a lawyer for free now.

A female animal control officer nearly had her thumb amputated by a two attacking pit bulls in Bell Gardens. The officer was called on a complaint seemingly unrelated to the pit bulls when the animals charged her after getting free from their ties. They pinned her to the ground though she defended herself with a baton. One of the offending dogs was euthanized.

There have now been two high injury count tour bus accidents in California in less than a week. The first crash was a deadly in Salinas in which four tourists died. Now a tour bus has crashed on a freeway in Perris, Riverside County, and every single person on board was hurt in the accident. Accidents involving tour buses can have multiple parties at fault including the bus driver, chartering company, and bus owner. Buses can be more likely to be involved in rollover accidents due to their higher center of gravity. Learn more about bus crashes and victims’ rights at www.alawpro.com, or call 1-800-ALAWPRO to speak to a California lawyer for free now.

The Perris accident occurred on a city-sponsored tour bus. There were 28 passengers on the bus and all suffered some sort of injury. Eight of the passengers were hospitalized in critical condition. The bus allegedly crashed into a median on a freeway, then bounded through a wall and landed on a nearby residential property. The impact broke the bus windshield, door and windows. Broken glass littered the wreckage, and those in the front of the bus were hurt the worst. While specific injuries of victims were not released, common bus crash injuries can include lacerations, brain or spinal injuries, head and neck injuries, broken bones.

Sadly, fatal construction accidents appear to be happening all the time around Southern California. Whether the victims are workers or bystanders, construction sites can be extremely dangerous. Falls from scaffolding or ladders, crashes involving construction equipment, electrocutions, and accidents involving heavy machinery can be deadly or cause injuries such as broken bones, spinal, neck or head injuries, burns, brain damage, or amputation. Two recent construction accidents have involved trench collapses. In one incident the results were fatal. If you or someone you love has been hurt in a construction accident in So Cal, call 1-800-ALAWPRO and talk to a lawyer now for free.

The fatal trench collapse occurred midday at the location of an future apartment complex in Huntington Beach. The victim and another employee were working at a trench when it collapsed, filling up with dirt and concrete. The dead worker was not unearthed for an hour, and Cal OSHA has the accident under investigation. In another trench collapse, two workers were buried- one up to his knees, and the other to his waist while working at a residential home construction site in Sylmar. The trench was 8-feet deep and 40-feet wide. To read more about construction accidents and workers rights, visit www.alawpro.com.
