Workers who breathe in the toxic chemical have an increased risk of developing lung cancer. One of the veterans is now confined to a wheelchair, and must breathe using an oxygen tank. The chemical can also cause damage to the eyes and skin if contact is made for a long enough period of time.

The plaintiff’s attorney said KBR should have known the soldiers were being exposed to this dangerous chemical. A jury agreed and awarded each of the 12 veterans $850,000 in compensatory damages and $6.25 million in punitive damages. After this victory, another 20 veterans are working with the legal team on another lawsuit against KBR involving the same incident.

Namoff filed a personal injury lawsuit against his former team and coach for $12 million for failing to diagnose and treat him for a career-ending concussion. After the game, Namoff complained of vision problems, but no one on the team paid attention to his complaints.

After three career-ending concussions in two years, the MLS finally decided to do something about it. In 2010, the MLS formed a concussion committee and added to each team a neuropsychologist who specializes in concussions.

When a player is suspected of suffering from a concussion, he or she is to be removed from the game immediately. Arizona Revised Statute 15-341 states that a player can only return to play in a game if he or she has been cleared by a health care professional. This applies for major league sports and school sports.

Unfortunately for Emmon Smith, tobacco companies claimed smoking cigarettes were safe back in 1944. By the time the truth came out, Smith had been smoking for 20 years and was addicted. Despite his attempts to quit, he wasn’t able to until 1992 when he had a cancerous lung removed, which forced him to give up the habit.

In 2008, Smith filed a lawsuit against the tobacco company R.J. Reynolds. A large class action lawsuit known as the Engle case was filed against big tobacco in the 1990s. In 2000, a jury awarded $145 billion in punitive damages to the 8,000 plaintiffs. The jury in the case found that the tobacco companies knew cigarettes were dangerous, addictive, and lied about it. In March of 2012, a jury awarded Smith $27 million in punitive and compensatory damages.

The victims’ attorneys are also looking to file lawsuits against the clinics that administered the steroid injections. The problem with filing a lawsuit against these clinics is that doctors can’t generally be sued for product liability. If a victim decides to add the clinic that administered the injection to their lawsuit, the litigation can become more complicated.

In order to hold the clinic or doctor liable, they need to prove that the clinic knowingly purchased the steroid injections in bulk. Companies like New England Compounding Center are supposed to fill individual prescriptions only and are not allowed to produce drugs in bulk.

Small mistakes like the one New England Compounding Center made can be very costly. Their contaminated product has caused harm to thousands of people across the country.   When a product is defective and causes harm to a person, the company responsible for making the product is liable.

The school bus video shows Isabella’s head bobbing back and forth many times over a 17 minute period. The bus driver aid notices that Isabella isn’t breathing and yells for the bus driver to pull over and call 911. The bus pulls over in front of a pediatrician’s office, but instead of calling 911, the bus driver calls Isabella’s mom.

The school bus pulled over a 2:24pm; Lisa arrived and was on the bus at 2:32pm. She saw that her daughter was blue and began performing CPR. Lisa was the first and only person to give CPR to Isabella. When Lisa realized that no one had called 911 yet, she called them herself. While Lisa was on the phone with police, the bus driver finally decided to give Isabella CPR, but it was too late, Isabella died the next day.

Herrera’s attorney is arguing that the school is negligent, because their staff is not only untrained, they lack common sense. The staff on the school bus watched a child die, didn’t call 911, didn’t perform CPR, and didn’t remove her from the bus even though they were parked in front of a pediatric clinic. The bus drivers and aids are not required to take additional training when dealing with special needs children. The school offers additional training, but it’s optional.

The responsiveness shown by the school staff in this case is completely unacceptable. If your child has suffered an injury from negligence, contact a Phoenix personal injury lawyer. Call 480-648-8928 to schedule a free consultation with Mesa negligence attorney, Jared Everton.

Antonio Reyes drowned in gym class that day. The Reyes family brought a lawsuit against the school for negligent supervision. The lawsuit stated that the school didn’t have a lifeguard on duty, they didn’t have a rope separating the deep and from the shallow end, and they didn’t even know if Antonio Reyes could swim. The Reyes family’s lawsuit required the school to issue a formal apology and to implement new safety procedures to prevent further accidents from happening.

The Wenatchee School District settled with the Reyes family for $2 million. The district also issued a formal apology and initiated new safety procedures immediately. The school district also fired the gym teacher in April 2012 for failing to watch over his class that day.
