Dollar True faces slip and fall lawsuit

Posted on November 7th, 2011 No Comments

A 55 year-old woman has filed a lawsuit against Dollar Tree Inc. after she slipped and fell on a clear liquid in the store. She claims she suffered injuries to her right hip and knee and her dressed left her exposed, “compromising her modesty.”

The accident happened last December when she was with her grandson. She says no employees helped her and her grandson had to rearrange her dress for her.

The woman is suing the company for $75,000 in damages for pain and suffering, embarrassment, lost wages, medical expenses, emotional trauma, as well as court costs and interest. She argues that the company was negligent for not putting up warning signs, failing to supervise and train employees, and failing to monitor the store for dangerous conditions.

An American Stafford Terrier mix, not usually known as an aggressive breed, attacked a teenage boy last week and the officer that came to his aid. Police say the boy suffered several lacerations on his arm and legs and lost a lot of blood but is expected to be okay.

The boy was visiting a neighbor who was dog-sitting the animal at the time of the accident. The neighbor and another individual fled the home and ran next door, carrying the injured boy. They say the dog continued to chase them and attacked the boy again.

When police officers came, the dog charged at them. An officer shot and killed the animal.

Childhood sleeping habits could result in ADHD misdiagnosis

Posted on October 10th, 2011 No Comments

A new study suggests that children who do not have a fixed bedtime or those who share a bed with a parent or sibling could have adverse effects their behavior. Many of these adverse effects have the strong potential to lead to a misdiagnosis of ADHD.

Compared to children who do have a fixed bed time, children who do not are more likely to throw tantrums, have aggressive behavior towards parents, have low self-confidence, get in trouble at school, and be diagnosed with behavior or learning problems.

While the researchers acknowledge that many of these characteristics are typical of children who suffer from ADHD, they state that these kinds of behaviors are not enough for a diagnosis. They warn, however, that many children have been wrongly diagnosed with ADHD because they display the such actions.

If you or someone you love has been misdiagnosed as the result of a physician failing to recognize the underlying cause of certain symptoms, contact the Louisville wrong diagnosis lawyers of Sampson Law Firm at 502-584-5050.

Truck accident caused by cellphone

Posted on September 20th, 2011 No Comments

A tragic trucking accident that left ten people dead last year was found to be caused by the truck driver using his cellphone. Investigators found that his phone call lasted on one second before he became distracted and crossed the median on I-65 near Munfordville. The 45 year-old driver hit a van head-on carrying twelve people. The only survivors were two children strapped in car seats.

Now, the National Transportation Safety Board is urging the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration to ban all cellphone use, including texting, for commercial truck drivers except in emergency situations. However, this regulation may have to go before Congress to be approved since it involves interstate commerce.

Honda and Subaru recall defective vehicles

Posted on September 14th, 2011 No Comments

This week Honda and Subaru have issued recalls for thousands of vehicles. Nearly 311,000 2009-2011 Honda Pilots and more than 500,000 Subaru models are affected by the recall, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Honda believes a possible defect in the front seatbelts could potentially result in injury during a crash. The automaker found missing or incomplete stitching on the seatbelts may cause them to disconnect from the anchor webbing, which would not properly protect occupants in an accident.

Subaru is recalling 2010-2011 Outbacks and Legacies for a possibly dangerous malfunction in the vehicles’ wiper motor. The malfunction could cause the motor to become overheated and catch on fire. 2002-2007 Imprezas, 2005-2006 Saab 9-2xes, and 2003-2008 Foresters are also being recalled after reports of the front control arms breaking. At least two drivers lost control of their vehicles after the front control arms corroded and broke.
