Cerebral Palsy From Asphyxia Lawsuit Settlement - Michigan Cerebral Palsy Lawyer

A Michigan medical malpractice lawsuit brought on behalf of a child with cerebral palsy recently settled for $1,950,000 for our client. The child suffered from fetal asphyxia which resulted in cerebral palsy. She has significant developmental delays as a result of her injuries.

The lawsuit alleged that the defendant hospital was negligent for failing to properly follow-up after a significant drop in the amniotic fluid was noted. The suit alleged that the this should have led to further evaluation and a recommendation that the expecting mother return to the hospital sooner. Expert testimony established that proper medical care would have prevented the injuries to the child.

Newborn & Fetal Distress Medical Malpractice Lawsuits in Michigan

We recently added a library article to our website on Neonatal and Newborn Fetal Distress lawsuits. These cases arise when a doctor or nursing staff fail to recognize fetal, neonatal, or newborn distress and as result do not act timely to provide much needed medical treatment to the baby. The results of this negligence is often significant and can lead to permanent brain damage and other birth defects.

It is essential that the family of the newborn contact our office so that we can have our nationally recognized medical experts review the entire medical chart to find out exactly what went wrong. When the results are due to medical negligence, we can then file a case on behalf of the family and the child.

Birth Injuries & Medical Malpractice Lawsuits

Birth injuries often cause significant and permanent injuries to newborns. There are a number of reasons that babies suffer injuries at birth. Sometimes these are natural and cannot be prevented, while other times it was caused by medical negligence before, during, and after childbirth. Our website has several articles on birth injury cases, including cerebral palsy and jaundice.

When a baby is damaged due to a medical mistake, the consquences can be devastating. Many babies are suffer brain damage and physical deformities which will last a lifetime. This gives rise to a lifelong need for exceptional medical treatment, specialized education, and supervised living. As you can imagine, the cost of these things over the lifetime of the child are astronomical. As part of any case involving an injured baby or child, an economist is often used as an expert to discuss the lifetime of expenses for caring for the baby all the way from infancy into adulthood. The goal of a birth injury lawsuit is to have the victim fully compensated and provide the funds necessary for the family to care for this child and to provide the best possible future.

Brain Damaged Baby Malpractice Suit

A jury has awarded a brain damaged boy $11.4 million dollars in a Wisconsin court after a lengthy trial. The lawsuit alleged that the hospital and a midwife were negligent in the delivery of the child and this caused permanent and irreversible brain damage. The hospital, of course, denied any wrongdoing.

Birth injury cases involving cerebral palsy and other type of brain damage to babies typically involve significant damages because of the lifetime of special care and medical treatment that will be required throuhgout the baby's lifetime. Even as an adult, the child will often require in home supervision or even placement in a special facility. The cases are very tragic and result in million dollar awards and settlements when the injury is due to the negligence of a medical provider.

As a result of his lead poisoining, he has cognitive and behavioral problems, including speech and language impairments, learning disabilities and other problems. The landlord's insurance company paid the confidential settlement.

Brain injuries can be caused by a number things, including trauma, infections, and toxic exposures.

Depending on the cause of a brain injury, the brain injury victim may have legal rights to compensation for his or her injuries.

It is essential that an experienced Michigan brain injury lawyer be contacted to discuss your case.

Her vehicle was forced off the roadway by another driver and she struck her head in the accident. She was later diagnosed by a neurologist with a traumatic brain injury and underwent psychological counseling for her deficits. She missed substantial time from work and was unable to return to her pre-accident activities. The case was settled after a lawsuit was filed and the negligent driver's auto insurance company paid the settlement.

Brain Injury Laywer Discusses Michigan Brain Injury Seminar

I attended a conference earlier this week on litigation strategies in traumatic brain injury cases in Michigan. A main topic was the difficulty in convincing juries that an accident victim suffered a brain injury or closed head injury and that the injury has altered their life or caused permanent damage. Jurors often seem skeptical about a brain injury when the victim was not unconscious after the accident, radiology films are normal (MRI, CT Scan), and the victim is not hospitalized for the injury. Many jurors incorrectly believe that a person must be in some type of lengthy coma to have suffered a serious brain injury.

The simple fact is that most jurors have never met anyone with a traumatic brain injury (TBI) and are deciding important issues based upon their own preconceived ideas as to what is necessary for a person to have a serious brain injury. Much of this comes from what they see on television or in the movies.

An experienced brain injury lawyer helps the jurors understand the truth behind brain injuries by presenting doctors and physicians to explain the mechanics of brain injuries and through medical illustrations and videos that depict how the brain is damaged due to a trauma. It is essential to choose a lawyer that has experience with representing brain injury victims because a thorough understanding of these injuries is necessary to prove and win a case at trial.

Crashes Involving Human-Powered Vehicles Abound

Date: 03/05/2010

Though automobile drivers are often the culprits of collisions with cyclists, sometimes the cyclist makes a poor decision that can result in extreme bodily harm and even death.

Glenn Thomas Brunck of Greensboro, North Carolina failed to yield the right-of-way while operating his moped on February 21, 2010. Mr. Brunck made a right turn onto High Point Road from a driveway and was struck by an oncoming vehicle. Mr. Brunck, who might have sustained only minor injuries, was lucky. Accidents involving cyclists often end in devastating harm.

In Reidsville, North Carolina, Talia Maria Mercado, 14, was taken by EMS to the hospital after her bicycle collided with an automobile on February 27, 2010. In this case, the rider stated that she had been wearing headphones, and as a result, did not notice the car approaching an upcoming intersection on her left. Only after it was too late did the rider attempt, unsuccessfully, to stop.

Then, on a recent Friday afternoon, I wrecked my bicycle while riding after nightfall on the Lake Brandt Greenway in Greensboro. I labored under the illusion that the headlight and taillight on my bicycle would adequately light the path. However, after seeing several deer cross the path up ahead, I collided quite unexpectedly with one of them. The deer struck me on the side and sent man, animal, and machine flying in different directions. Fortunately, I was not seriously injured.

Having had this experience, I suggest that riders invest in lighting that can be affixed to the helmet in addition to the usual headlight attached to the handlebar. While a handlebar-affixed light is a good thing to have, it is limited by its capacity to point only in the direction in which the bike itself is pointed. A helmet-mounted light can illuminate things that may not be in the path of the cycle; indeed, the rider can illuminate anything he can point his head toward.

We are trained to look for obstacles in the path ahead, but three accidents have taught me that dangers often approach from the sides. Cyclists must remain alert at all times and make careful decisions while operating their vehicles or risk bodily harm, as you can see in this video that depicts a case of failure to yield on the part of a moped rider:

Highway 9 May Fix May Help Prevent Motorcycle Accidents, Bicycle Accidents and Truck Accidents

Date: 03/03/2010

A couple of weeks ago I commented on the number of pedestrian accidents in San Francisco. Today, as an avid motorcyclist and bicyclist myself, as well as a San Francisco motorcycle accident attorney and bicycle accident attorney and dangerous roadway attorney I am happy to see the Saratoga News reporting that the State is actually addressing some serious problems particularly for bicycle riders, motorcycle riders and truck drivers. I point to motorcycles and bicycles specifically because, with no protection around us, they are most susceptible to the dangers of the roadway. Truck drivers, while well-protected in terms of being physically enclosed, are often involved in accidents that are primarily the result of dangerous roadway conditions. Moreover, truck accidents often result in more serious injuries and larger number of deaths than other traffic accidents.

While Highway 9 is a beautiful road and enticing to motorcycle riders and bicyclists and even automobile drivers, it has always been a challenging road to drive safely and these improvements should help to reduce bicycle accidents, motorcycle accidents, and truck accidents, we hope.

From Saratoga News (Powered by The Mercury News)

By Brian Babcock

In an effort to improve safety on Highway 9, the California Department of Transportation will be upgrading three dangerous curves on the winding roadway.

Caltrans has just wrapped up its comment period where residents could make their own suggestions on the proposed project, said Nick Saleh, regional project manager. Caltrans will now review the comments and reply within the next few months.

The $13 million project calls for improving sight distance and roadway and shoulder upgrades at the three spots, which are located near Hakone Gardens, Pierce Road and Saratoga Springs.

Forty-foot retaining walls will be constructed and trees and vegetation will be removed to improve sight distance for drivers, a Caltrans environmental report states. Metal beam guardrails will be constructed along the curves and a soft-median barrier will be constructed to warn drivers that they have moved into the other lane.

Warning signs will also be added along the stretches of road between Sixth Street and Highway 35 that will remind drivers to "share the road" with bicyclists.

"The improvements within all three locations is limited to areas having a concentration of cross- center line accidents," said Bernard Walik, public information officer with Caltrans.

The accidents could be being caused by vehicles that are traveling too fast around the curves or because of a lack of a clear view around the roadway, Saleh said.

There was no one particular accident that caused Caltrans to look into upgrading the three locations, he added.

The improvements are part of Caltrans safety monitoring program and were monitored by the department's Total Quality Control Management Team, Saleh said, which identifies areas of significant need of safety upgrades.

The transportation department's team reviewed accident reports collected from law enforcement officials, he added, and concluded that the three areas had the most potential to be improved.

The project is slated to begin late next year after Caltrans reviews resident comments and finishes its environmental impact report and designs for the improvements, he said.

"We 100 percent support the safety improvement project," said Cap. Terry Calderone of the Santa Clara County Office of the Sheriff—West Valley Division.

Calderone said that small grooves were drill into the ground in areas of Highway 9 about six months ago. The grooves seem to have helped lower accidents up in the hillside, he said.

He added that a similar project is being proposed in Los Altos Hills.

During construction Highway 9 will be turned into a one-way traffic road at those locations. The project is expected to take up to nine months to a year to complete, Saleh said.

"The project will have a minimum impact on residents," he said.

Testimonials

For your personal injury cases, I would recommend George Burke at Buckfire & Buckfire. He was professional, knew the law and best of all, negotiated a settlement for me that was fair compensation for the injuries I received.
Kevin - Walled Lake

I cannot thank Daniel Buckfire enough for helping in my No-Fault Insurance claim against State Farm Insurance Company. I am a quadriplegic as a result of a car accident and my insurance company denied me a portion of my insurance benefits. I contacted Daniel and he was able to get those benefits paid quickly for me.
