A 21-year-old Valley Falls, Kansas man was in a fatal auto accident after his vehicle drifted into oncoming traffic and struck a semi-tractor trailer head on. The driver of the semi was unharmed; a passenger in the semi was treated for minor injuries. An investigation is ongoing, but it appears that the man fell asleep behind the wheel.

This accident illustrates how tiredness and fatigue can affect one’s driving; it impairs alertness and response time and is as dangerous as distracted drivers. Although tiredness and fatigue are common in long-distance truck drivers and third-shift workers, it is a concern for any driver who lacks the proper amount of sleep. It is important to recognize these signs BEFORE getting behind the wheel.

• frequent yawning and blinking
• crossing over the median or in another lane
• variation of speed and breaking too late
• misjudging traffic situations
• closing eyes for brief moments or eyes going out of focus

One of the most common causes of auto accidents on our roadways is fatigue. Being fatigued makes us less alert to what is happening on the road and less able to react quickly and safely if a dangerous situation arises. If you drive when you're drowsy, you're putting yourself, your passengers, and others at risk. The only reliable defense against driver fatigue is uninterrupted sleep for at least six to nine hours each night. Driving when fatigued may not be illegal, but it can be lethal.

Police found the driver incoherent behind the wheel; a passenger in the back of the mangled cab barely identifiable. Firefighters used the Jaws of Life to remove the man from the cab; he died shortly thereafter.

Police are still investigating why the driver lost control. Was it a medical condition? Was it Fatigue? Was there a defective product or faulty equipment? Was the truck properly maintained?

A Colorado man was crushed to death, buried under 15 – 20 feet of pinto beans. The accident occurred at a Kelly Bean Co. warehouse. It took 50 rescuers about an hour to dig the body from the pile, but they were unable to save the 56-year-old man. The cause of the accident is under investigation.

Did the employer fail to provide a safe workplace and working conditions; conditions that posed a risk of serious injury or death? Did the company have up-to-date training and safety procedures in place? When was the last inspection and safety check? Was there a worksite disaster plan in place? If Kelly Bean Co. failed to do so, they may be held liable for this workplace fatality. The family of the deceased may want to contact an experience attorney to determine their rights to seek compensation.

Under the workers' compensation system, an employee agrees not to sue the employer in exchange for the right to collect workers' compensation benefits (primarily the payment of medical bills and wages) while recovering from injuries. This is usually a no-fault system; regardless of whether the worker was negligent or not, he/she may collect workers compensation benefits. In trade for this no-fault system, the worker gives up the right to a trial by jury and the right to sue the employer for pain and suffering. But, many people think that the receipt of workers compensation prevents, in all cases, the possibility of a lawsuit for pain and suffering. That is not always the case.

When the man attempted to board the bus, he fell and hit his head resulting in a serious brain injury. He died five days later.

A construction worker died from carbon monoxide poisoning at an Iowa construction site in December 2010 after he entered a building in which gasoline-powered generators had been running for at least two days without proper ventilation. The 55-year-old man went into the building to refuel generators used to heat the concrete floor to prevent cracks; his wife found him dead about one hour later. The co-owner of Rotert Construction said he thought the building was safely ventilated because the roof wasn’t insulated.

The family of the victim has filed a wrongful death lawsuit alleging that the co-owner was “grossly negligent” when he asked her husband to refuel the generators. His wife said an investigator told her that “Rotert’s indoor use of the generator was a serious workplace safety violation, and that carbon monoxide levels were still dangerously high inside the building the day after her husband’s death.” The family seeks unspecified damages for funeral costs, loss of income, and physical and mental pain and suffering.

A West Virginia man recently filed a $2 million lawsuit against at least 15 defendants in the 2010 wrongful death of his 43-year-old wife. The woman was admitted to the Winchester Medical Center (WMC) after complaining of severe stomach pain. She died three days later.

The wrongful death lawsuit alleges that the woman entered the emergency room in "excruciating abdominal pain”, but it took the ER doctors eight hours to order a CAT scan of her abdomen. The suit contends that WMC did not have a trained and qualified radiologist on-site to read or interpret the CT scans, so they were sent off-site for overnight interpretation. The suit further alleges that the scan, consisting of 230 slices of data, was read by the doctor in about eight minutes and again the next morning by an on-site radiologist. In both cases, findings were reported as normal.

Further allegations state that the patient was improperly administered sedatives that delayed diagnostic tests. Only after her condition worsened, doctors went down her throat at which time they discovered there was little blood flow to her stomach, a condition known as mesenteric ischemia. An additional test showed that all three major arteries from her heart were completely blocked; surgery was immediately performed, but it was too late. Every visceral organ such as the liver, pancreas, gallbladder, intestines and colon — were black and necrotic; the “foul stench” was overwhelming.

According to the plaintiff’s attorney, Daniel James, this tragic case may take up to three years to get to either a Winchester, Va., or Martinsburg, W.Va., court.” If you or someone you love has paid for a doctor’s negligence, if you are living with consequences of a misdiagnosis, or if a loved one died because of a doctor’s negligence, it may be important to contact a medical malpractice attorney.

The daughter of a Tennessee woman has filed a wrongful death lawsuit alleging that her mother died from gastrointestinal bleeding caused by the blood thinner, Pradaxa, an anticoagulant, claimed to be a superior alternative to Coumadin for prevention of strokes among individuals with atrial fibrillations.

As of November 2011, there were 260 confirmed Pradaxa deaths, with 120 of those deaths reported in the U.S. This suit is believed to be the first lawsuit filed against Pradaxa in the U.S. According to the lawsuit, the woman began taking Pradaxa in January 2011.

A wrongful death lawsuit has been filed against a nursing home allegedly neglecting to properly care for a patient. The plaintiff said his brother’s condition worsened because the nursing staff and administrators’ negligence and eventually led to hospitalization and loss of life. The Center denies the allegations.

The victim was a resident from December 2008 until his death in October 2010. He was admitted at 65years of age after being diagnosed with multiple conditions, including Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, emphysema, anxiety, memory problems and seizure disorder. He also needed help with mobility and eating. The lawsuit alleges that while the man was at the facility, he suffered from abuse, neglect, infection, contractions, dignity violations, and mental anguish. The lack of care by the medical staff resulted in pressure sores that became infected, ultimately leading to his death. A recent health inspection cited the center for failing to prevent the spread of infection and problems with hand washing by the nursing staff. The plaintiff seeks compensatory and punitive damages to be determined by a jury.

Often times, "neglect or abuse" results from the simple lack of interest by nursing home staff. Failure to provide residents with the basic needs is a form of neglect that can lead to more serious forms of illnesses, diseases and medical conditions. Bed sores are a typical example of conditions that are relatively easy to prevent but far too common in many nursing centers. Bed sores form from inactivity, the thinning of skin, poor circulation, and malnutrition.

When placing a loved one in the care of a nursing home, it is expected that the resident will receive quality care. Unfortunately, nursing home negligence and abuse are all too common. If a loved one suffered physical or emotional injuries because an assisted living facility or nursing home was negligent or failed to fulfill its care obligations, you may have grounds for a nursing home negligence case.

Family members of two workers killed last April when an equalization basin wall holding untreated sewage collapsed on them at the Gatlinburg Wastewater Treatment Plant have filed wrongful death lawsuits against the city of Gatlinburg.

Six months later, safety officials announced their investigation concluded that there were no safety violations and blame the accident on a deficiency in the basin’s concrete wall construction. The workers were killed when the basin's east wall collapsed on top of a flow control building they were working in. The families filed separate lawsuits seeking $17 million in compensation from Gatlinburg and the engineers and contractors who worked on the basin that failed.

Last week, crews were working to demolish the 30-foot-high basin when a worker was fatally struck from behind by loose dirt and rock. No lawsuit has been filed at this time.
