The Mattel-subsidized company, Fisher-price, manufactured cribs that are among the 1.2 million cribs to be recalled in relation with the reported deaths of at least four infants when they were suffocated. The defective design of the cribs are said to be responsible for the said deaths.
The said cribs are sold nationwide as well as in Canada. They are said to be manufactured from October of 1994 up to December 2004.
In cases of massive product recalls, product recall insurance or the manufacturer will be responsible in the shipping of the defective product as well as other expenses such as repairs, refunds, or its replacement.
Moreover, this should also cover compensatory damages and other expenses that the family of the victims will try to recover by filing personal injury cases. Families should hire a personal injury lawyer who will represent them and make sure that their expenses are well-compensated for.
A 62-year-old attorney from Terra Linda who has handled personal injury and criminal defense for 33 years died after being surprised with a massive wave while he was abalone diving with his son near Horseshoe Cove.
His son Matthew tried to pull him to safety but was unable to do so.
Brian Dinday was later spotted by authorities floating with his face down.
Even experienced divers like Dinday should never be too complacent and feel invincible from drowning accidents that will take them away from their loved ones. They should always wear protective gears and never overestimate their skills if they are to encounter waves.
The government is required to protect the welfare of everyone it governs. It may be considered liable if a person dies due to the negligent act of another person.
A wrongful death claim was recently filed against Huntington Beach City relating to the death of an 11-year-old junior lifeguard after she was struck by a boat during a routine exercise in the ocean.
The claim asks for damages in excess of $10,000 for personal injuries, emotional distress and damages connected with the death of Alyssa Squirrell. The clam, which also names all of Alyssa’s family members, asserts that Huntington Beach lifeguard Lt. Greg Crow caused the girl’s death because he operated the boat negligently.
She was participating in a drill wherein junior lifeguards would jump off the back of a boat towards the ocean. Alyssa was in the water but has not joined her group when Crow turned around and hit her. The impact caused her to sustain deep cuts to her hip and leg.
Orange County prosecutors said that no criminal charges will be filed against Crow.
Crow should have been extra careful while operating the boat because he is aware of the ongoing training. On the other hand, this fatal accident may have been avoided if only the girl remained with the group.
Road accidents not only cause physical harm but it can also result to heavy traffic or road closure. In fact, a recent motorcycle accident that injured a motorcyclist also caused two lanes on the southbound 57 freeway at East Lambert Road to be blocked.
A SigAlert was issued after a motorcyclist was struck by a black Toyota Sequoia along the area.
According to authorities, the motorcyclist who was identified as Jorge Perez, 39, sustained moderate injuries and was brought to UCI Medical Center. Perez was riding a 2001 Suzuki motorcycle, reports said.
Vehicle divers should always be aware of the presence of other road users. On the other hand, motorcyclists should also exert extra care while moving near other vehicles because they know that they may be unnoticed by drivers.
A 6-year-old girl was recently killed in a vehicular crash apparently caused by the street car racing of two vehicles.
Lisa Xavier and her mother were reportedly on a vehicle when one of the two racing cars hit them. The mother remains hospitalized after sustaining serious injuries while young Lisa died a day after the hit-and-run accident.
Initial investigations show that the vehicle that hit Xavier’s car was running a red light. After the crash, he got out of the vehicle and rode with the other driver and fled the scene.
This recent accident is especially alarming as cautious motorists were victims of a hit-and-run. It shows how one can never be fully protected from car collisions even if their kids are with them.
The family of the victim can file a wrongful death suit and be compensated for the damages on their part but it can never replace the lost life of a little girl.
