Posted on April 17th, 2012 No Comments

A 54 year-old Louisville man was killed over the weekend when his small aircraft crashed in a field in Breckinridge County. Before the crash, the pilot radioed to his friend following a few minutes behind that the plane was suffering electrical problems and he was going to try to land.

The man was flying a high performance experimental aircraft made from kits created by Lancair International, Inc. The pilot was the only person on board the two-seated plane.

Emergency responders said the aircraft disintegrated after hitting the ground. The pilot is believed to have died on impact. The Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board are investigating the crash.

Debris from building demolition injures man

Posted on March 27th, 2012 No Comments

A man was injured Sunday morning after debris from Orlando’s demolished Amway Arena traveled further than expected. Over 200 pounds of explosives imploded the Orlando Magic’s former home, sending pieces of reinforcing bar flying.

The 33 year-old man was nearly two blocks away from the old arena when he was injured. An eight-inch piece of rebar hit his lower shin, breaking his fibula. He was transported by ambulance to the hospital and had surgery earlier this week.

The man’s friend, who was with him when the accident occurred, says he remembers hearing a whistling sound and feeling small pieces of concrete hit him. The president of Dykon Explosive Demolition Corp. has paid for the man’s medical bills.

Baby drowns in hot tub

Posted on March 20th, 2012 No Comments

A one year-old boy drowned Sunday night in Louisville after he somehow crawled into the family’s outdoor hot tub. Family members were home when the accident occurred.

The boy’s mother says she was in the shower when her son somehow got out of the house and into the hot tub. His grandfather told authorities the cover to the hot tub was left off by accident.

The young boy was immediately taken to Kosair Children’s Hospital, but died about an hour and a half later. The Louisville Metro Police Department’s Homicide Unit is investigating the death, but it does not suspect any foul play.

Our deepest sympathies are with the family of the young victim.

A Knox County mother of two is facing charges of driving under the influence and wanton endangerment after she crashed her car with her six week-old twins inside.

Deputies from the Knox County Sheriff’s Office claim the woman appeared to be intoxicated when they responded to the accident. She notified them that her infant children were in the car at the time of the crash but that she had taken them to house nearby.

Witnesses say they saw one of the babies on the floor in front of the passenger seat and the other baby was in a baby carrier, but it fell out when they opened the door. The twins were rushed to the hospital and admitted to the ICU.

MLB pitcher’s medical nightmare

Posted on March 1st, 2012 No Comments

MLB pitcher for the Boston Red Sox, Bobby Jenks, recently detailed his medical troubles caused by a surgical error that took place during a spine operation.

Last December, Jenks went into surgery to remove two of four bone spurs on his spine. Doctors successfully removed two spurs but mistakenly started on the third. They then failed to completely remove the bone spur before finishing the surgery.

Jenks was rushed back to the hospital for emergency surgery after spinal fluid began leaking out of his incision. The partially removed bone spur was serrated, leaving holes that allowed spinal fluid to escape and cause an infection. If the infection had spread to the spinal fluid, the mistake could have had potentially fatal results.

If you or someone you love has been the victim of a surgical error, contact the surgical error lawyers of the Sampson Law Firm at 502-584-5050 today.

Man seriously burned after e-cigarette exploded

Posted on February 21st, 2012 No Comments

A Florida man suffered serious burn injuries after an e-cigarette he was smoking suddenly exploded in his face.

E-cigarettes, or electronic cigarettes, are not FDA approved but are used by many to quit smoking. The device mimics the flavor and physical sensation of smoking tobacco.

The 57 year-old was smoking the e-cigarette last week when his wife heard an explosion that sounded like a firecracker. All of the man’s teeth were knocked out, and he lost part of his tongue. Debris from the explosion were so hot that they melted some items and started a fire.

The local fire chief believes the rechargeable battery in the e-cigarette caused the explosion.

If you or someone you love has been severely burned due to another person or company’s negligence, contact the burn injury lawyers of the Sampson Law Firm today by calling 502-584-5050.

Arsenic found in baby formula, cereal bars, energy drinks

Posted on February 16th, 2012 No Comments

A new study out of Dartmouth College reveals that high levels of arsenic are in foods containing organic brown rice syrup.

Brown rice syrup is a sweetener usually used to replace high fructose corn syrup. The arsenic levels found in this food product are several times the amount the EPA legally allows in drinking water. Researchers tested 17 baby formulas, 29 cereal bars, and 3 energy shot drinks.

The brands Baby’s Only Organic Soy Toddler Formula and Baby’s Only Organic Dairy Toddler Formula made by Nature’s One were some of the baby formulas with high levels of arsenic. Infants are more susceptible to arsenic’s negative effects, such as a lower IQ and poor intellectual functions, since their brains are developing.

If you or someone you know has been affected by a toxic food product or container, contact the toxic food products lawyers of the Sampson Law Firm today at 502-584-5050.
