Automobile Engineering Expert Witness Discusses Side Airbag Safety System In Car Accident.

This factual scenario involves side airbag safety systems in a double fatality car accident..
The victims were traveling in a 10 year-old truck along a rural highway at 2 a.m. when a vehicle coming in the opposite direction at high speed crossed the center line, striking the driver's side front fender of the truck. The impact caused the truck to lift into the air. The other car then struck the left rear wheel with enough force to dislodge the axle. The truck then flipped onto the driver's side and onto the truck occupants who had been thrown from the driver's window.

Families of the two victims sued the other driver as well as themanufacturer of the truck for negligence and wrongful death.
Against the truck manufacturer, the plaintiffs allege that the ejection of the two victims was the primary cause of the deaths and that they could have been prevented from ejection(and death) if the truck had been equipped with safety features such as a side curtain air bag and window glazing, both of which were available as early as five years before the truck was manufactured.  The family of of the passenger victim also sued the truck driver for negligence, as he had been drinking and could have avoided the deadly collision.

Questions for the Expert Witness:

1. Did similar vehicles at the time incorporate side curtain airbags ?     Answer : Yes.
2. Could the truck in this case have included such a safety feature ?      Answer :  Yes.

ANSWERS:
With a comparison having been done of other vehicles by other manufacturers with similar pillar and roof structures, this automobile engineering expert concludes there is no reason that the vehicle at issue could not have been equipped with a side airbag inflatable curtain (SABIC) system. Other vehicles produced by the truck manufacturer were equipped with an  inflatable tubular stricter (ITS)
system.

Testing on those vehicles two years before the truck in this case was produced documented the ejection mitigation value of the ITS.  The testing was performed with unrestrained occupants.  There were no ejections in the roll-over testing.  Computer modeling demonstrated without the ITS system, the occupants would have been ejected.  This confirms that this ITS system could have been installed on the subject truck, was tested, and proven to prevent the ejection of unrestrained occupants in a similar platform.

MARYLAND PHARMACEUTICAL MALPRACTICE : PRESCRIPTION DRUGS UPDATE

 Pharmaceutical malpractice (pharmaceutical negligence) lawsuits are among the fastest-growing types of personal injury (tort) lawsuits in the United States today.  This evidences that there is legal recourse when medicine harms someone.

Pharmaceutical (Drug) malpractice is very common in Maryland and elsewhere in America, and the core or foundation for these lawsuits is prescription medication. These cases are commonly based on (1) drug recalls, (2) product failure, (3) long-term side effects of prescription drugs, (4) improperly -prescribed medication, and (5) improperly-filled prescriptions.

A credible 2002 study found:
 Dosage errors in hospitals accounted for  20%  of all U.S hospital prescriptions; and
 Potentially harmful errors to patients occurred in about  40%  of all U.S. hospital prescriptions.


A credible 2003 study found:
  The prescription error rate intercepted by pharmacists in the U.S. was  40%; and
   The potential minimum  number of patients harmed by prescription drugs in the U.S. was
   417,908.

Some reasons why  "drug recalls"  are so common in the U.S. today include:
     - Increased pressure for profits (profit motive) and need for medical relief causes "rushed"
       production and marketing of drugs;
     -  Long-term side-effects are difficult to determine; and
     -  There is a "conflict of interest' in the process of testing drugs, since the "testing" is usually  done by the drugs' manufacturers who are under pressure to rush the drugs to market.

Brachial Plexus Injury Post Rotator Cuff Surgery:  The case presented.

Case Overview: 
The plaintiff/patient had right  rotator cuff surgery on November 28, 2012. Her right brachial plexus nerve bundle was stretched during the surgery.  She is now unable to participate in her ADL's since she's right-handed.  The EMG studies show some improvement in her conduction studies, but functionally her right hand is still unable to work properly. She has shooting pains in her right upper extremity and her fingers that ranges from 5 - 10 and averages 7.

Issue:
Is it malpractice to receive a stretch injury to the right brachial plexus nerve during a right rotator cuff surgery ?

Expert opinions:
Not necessarily.  Generally, most likely there should be an intervening negligent event that occurred during the surgery in order to have a malpractice issue.

    1.  Writ of Coram Nobis
         Maryland Rule 15-1201, 12-202, et. seq.;  Parker v. State, 160 Md. App. 672 (2005);  Skok v. State, 361 Md. 52 (2000).
         In recent years, an increasing harshness of the immigration laws as well as the federal sentencing guidelines have inspired defense attorneys to seek creative ways to revisit semmingly final judgments in criminal cases.  Maryland state appellate courts have ruled that the use of one such device --- the Writ of Coram Nobis --- is an appropriate method for an individual to challenge a conviction on constitutional, jurisdictional, or fundamental grounds, even long after the judgment has become final.
         The Maryland Court of Special Appeals  in Parker, relying on the Court of Appeals decision in  Skok, clearly affirmed that the writ of coram nobis is an acceptable remedy " for a person who is not incarcerated and not on parole or probation, who is faced with a significant collateral consequence of his or her conviction, and who can legitimately challenge the conviction on constitutional or fundamental grounds."  < see more .


     2. Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus
         Maryland Courts & Judicial Proceedings, Annotated Code, Section 3-702; Lomax  v.  Maryland Correctional Training Center, 356 Md. 569 (1999);  Pollock  v.  Patuxent Institution Board of Review, 358 Md. 656 (2000).
          Anyone committed, detained, confined, or restrained for any offense under color of law may file a petition for writ oh habeas corpus.  Habeas corpus actions are appropriate when the relief sought is release, but also when the relief sought is a proceeding or hearing which may lead to the petitioner's release.

There has been a recent increase in litigation ( including class action litigation) on the issue of mold -risk from wet-application cellulose insulation that should have been disclosed to home buyers.  At least one potential class-action has been filed on behalf of all individuals and consumers who purchased new homes in 2003 that contained wet-blown cellulose insulation. The suit alleges that the insulation is defective and does not meet appropriate building standards.


The presence of  wet spray insulation installed with moisture into closed wall cavities would materially affect the value of homes at the time of sale because moist and wet spray material in wall cavities raises the perception of moisture trapped inside the walls and the related dangers of mold and other water damage issues.

BALTIMORE LAWYER'S GUIDE TO LEAD POISONING DEFENSE

www.charlesjeromeware.com        "Here to make a difference".
The Maryland-based national lead-paint poisoning defense law firm of Charles Jerome Ware, Attorneys & Counselors, LLC, is highly-regarded and well-respected for its successful representation of  defendants in lead-based paint poisoning cases.   For an initial courtesy consultation, contact us at charlesjeromeware@msn.com,  (410) 730-5016  or  (410) 720-6129.

For the most part, interior lead-based paint has not been manufactured in the United States in about  fifty or so years.  The problem in Baltimore and several other urban and rural geographic areas is lead-based paint use in many pre-1978 built residential units. However, lead poisoning is preventable.

MAINTENANCE is the key. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has stated that lead-based paint, when it is well-maintained and intact, typically poses no health risk. When lead-based paint was manufactured, it was sought after because it was washable and durable --- and it was recommended and even required by Federal and state governments for government  housing projects and other buildings.  In 1955, lead paint manufacturers eliminated the marketing of lead-based interior paint.

For Baltimore residential unit landlords, we recommend the following, inter alia:
1.  Treat any unit built before 1978 as though it does contain lead-based paint, unless a certified lead-risk professional has issued a written report stating that the entire property has been tested found to be lead-free.
2.  Formally inform the potential renter or purchaser of the unit that the possibility of lead paint exists.  Pursuant to the Federal Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act ( aka TITLE  10), which was enacted to protect families from exposure to lead from paint, dust, and soil, disclosure l
