A 40-year old female presented to an Emergency Room(ER) on June 11th due to increasing instances of debilitating migraine headaches. The CT scan came back negative and she was released to follow up with a neurologist for possible MRI tests. Appointments were not made.

Three weeks later she returned to the Emergency Room and had after developing aphasia (language impairment) overnight, and she was unable to communicate beyond one or two word sentences. The hospital staff ignored the new symptoms of aphasia,  performed no further studies or observations, and had her involuntarily committed to their mental health unit where she was detained for a week. By the second day in the mental health ward the aphasia was wearing off.

On the last day of the 5-day mental health stay, the Patient finally got her previously-requested neurology consultation. The neurologist suggested that she follow up in his office the next day. He subsequently ordered an MRI while awaiting insurance approval. The Patient was afraid to wait and checked into a 2nd Emergency Department. The staff there immediately took a CT scan and compared it with the one from  Hospital #1 on June 11th.  A lesion was found on her brain and an MRI was taken the next day.

The MRI revealed that she had had an AVM (stroke) on July 17th. She had a craniotomy(skull opening) to remove the legion.

She currently suffers memory loss, balance issues , and requires speech and occupational therapy.

ISSUES : Could the stroke have been prevented?  Did the one month delay change the type of surgery that was necessary?

Generally, some experts believe the stroke likely could have been prevented; although the Patient is generally faulted for not following up with a neurologist as the ER recommended.

An intoxicated 30-year -old male heavy equipment operator was involved in a severe one-vehicle rollover accident with multiple injuries --- including a severe head injury. After arrival by ambulance to the hospital, he was treated in the Emergency Room(ER) where an ER Physician noted on the Patient's chart: " 3-cm stellate laceration to the right scalp  with a Glasgow coma scale (sensory perception measure) of 3 --- indicating a serious head injury. The ER Physician ordered chest x-rays and a CT (Computer Tomography Scan) of the Patient.

The Radiologist read the CT to show " a left hematoma with a right shift" without evidence of skull fracture, and also noted " a small subarachnoid hemorrhage."

The Neurosurgeon was provided both the CT and the related Radiologist report but noted her reason for consult as " right thin subdural hematoma, mass effect and midline shift", but in her patient history noted " CT scan of the brain demonstrated cerebral edema with left-to-right midline shift and a 7 millimeter subdural hematoma, predominantly in the left temporal lobe."

The Neurosurgeon then performed what she described in her notes as an "unintended right craniotomy " (right-side skull opening) before performing the needed left craniotomy  for the left
subdural hematoma.

Eight days later the Neurosurgeon had to do a re-approximation of bone flap and insertion of an
addition plate in the Patient's skull. Fortunately, the second craniotomy was successful and the patient recovered "fairly well" from his injuries.

EXPERT OPINIONS :

The three neurosurgery experts agree that this case of wrong-side surgery was a definite breach in the standard of care for this type of operation, but also for both neurosurgery and surgery protocols  in general.

                                  WOMAN  DIES  FROM  FACELIFT
A 58-year old woman who had a history of heart disease (Ischemic Heart Disease) and COPD
(Cardiopulmonary Disease) sought to have facial plastic surgery (Facelift).She also had a surgical history of  heart stent placement previously in 2003.

In February 2012 she (Patient) was seen by her cardiologist for recurring Ischemic Chest Pain and she was put on nitroglycerin.

In March of 2012 she went for her facelift after clearance was obtained from her general practice physician --- but not from her cardiologist. She experienced chest pain and labored breathing upon administration of anesthesia for the facelift operation --- but the surgeon continued. During the facelift procedure the Patient coded red and died of  Myocardial Infarction.

The opinion of two plastic surgeon experts is that the Patient should not have been allowed to have the facelift without clearance from a cardiologist; and that the surgery certainly should have been aborted when the difficulties arose during the surgery.

According to many commentators, Baltimore is "ground zero" for lead paint poisoning claims and cases in the United States. A primary reason cited for this development is the large number of pre-1978 built houses and apartments, which originally were painted with lead-based paint both inside and outside. Consequently, landlords for these residential rental properties are major targets by rental tenants of these claims. It should be noted that lead-based paint was banned by the federal government for consumer (including residential) uses in 1978.  

The fact of the matter is that lead (Pb) in some form is almost everywhere in the Baltimore metropolitan area ; the air, water, plumbing, many residential and commercial buildings, food, drinks,
government buildings, schools, ground, plants, playgrounds, many foreign-made consumer goods, etc. Landlords are not ALWAYS the culprits for lead poisoning. Lead poisoning in Baltimore can come from many sources.

Lead (Pb) and lead-based paint are among the more prevalent historical community health issues in Maryland; particularly in Baltimore. Sometimes it seems that lead (Pb) is everywhere in Baltimore : the water, the grounds, buildings, playgrounds, food and drinks, and even the air. To be sure, Baltimore has a reputation among many commentators for being "ground zero" for residential rental community lead paint complaints. Consequently, residential rental landlords for pre-1978 built units are among the primary targets of lead paint complaints in Baltimore and throughout the State of Maryland.

Prior to purchasing and/or renting a pre-1978 built residence in Maryland, prospective landlords should learn the lead-based paint Federal and state laws and rules, research the history of the property, provide required notice to tenants, screen (gather lawful information on) tenants, hire lead- certified contractors for maintenance work, maintain the property carefully, and keep good and lawful records on both the tenants as well as the property.

Though among the most common of criminal offenses in Maryland and the United States, driving under the influence of alcohol ("DUI"), or "drunk driving" as it is frequently called, is one of the most intricate and complex to understand and properly defend in court.

DUI's are very frequently committed by non-criminals; that is, otherwise law-abiding and respectable people who have never been in trouble with the law before. Yet, the stakes are high.

There are several factors that can affect or influence decisions in a DUI case. A few are as follows:

(1) The impaired driver had a high blood alcohol concentration (BAC) level;

(2) The impaired driver injured or killed someone else;

(3) The impaired driver caused an accident;

(4) The impaired driver had a child driver;

(5) The impaired driver was under the age of 21 at the time of the DUI offense;

(6) The impaired driver committed DUI while breaking another law, such as speeding;

(7) The impaired driver has a history of DUI convictions (multiple violations).

The more common defenses in DUI cases involve (a) attacking the police officer's observations of what happened prior to the arrest or (b) challenging  the integrity of the evidence, such as accuracy of a breathalyzer test. Remember that every case has unique facts.

 Lead-based paint litigation and the problem of causation is persistent in the continuing battle between lead (Pb) poisoning victims, paint companies, builders, landlords, property owners and property managers. Recent trends in this area are of understandable concern , particularly to landlords. Juries frequently render civil verdicts in favor of young children (up to age 7 at the time of lead poisoning) who are often portrayed as being "intellectually impaired" as the result of their ingestion or inhalation of lead paint chips, flakes and dust. Indeed, numerous officials, judges and commentators have been known to suggest that in certain circumstances lead poisoning cases are "indefensible."

Children up to age 7 are especially susceptible to the effects of ingesting and inhaling lead (Pb). Lead, in sufficient quantities, is toxic and believed to be both carcinogenic and teratogenic. In young children, ingesting lead can affect the kidneys, the central nervous system, blood and reproductive systems. Despite efforts to remove lead from gasoline, paint, plumbing systems, homes and businesses, and  consumer products, the public is still exposed to lead in many places and circumstances such as water, air, dust and foods,  etc.

The vast majority of lead paint liability cases in Maryland are filed against residential rental landlords, especially in Baltimore City. The residences involved are virtually always built before 1978.

It was in 1951 that Baltimore banned the use of lead-based paint in Baltimore housing. This was the first such restriction in the nation. In 1978,  the federal government outlawed residential and consumer uses of lead paint in the United States.

When it comes to defending against lead paint liability claims, landlords should be aware of at least four key points: (1) Preparation; (2) Maintenance; (3) Notice; and (4) Record-keeping.

Some recommendations for residential rental landlords to follow to reduce potential claims and support the defense against claims being brought against them are as follows:

(1) Research the history of the property before purchasing (pre or post 1978-built residence);

(2) Prepare properly the residence ( lead remediation, removal, etc.) before leasing to tenants;

(3) Maintain the property;

(4) Before leasing the residence to a new tenant, require the potential tenant to disclose the names and ages of all persons who will reside in the rental unit;

(5) Inspect the property with the potential tenant and require the tenant to sign an inspection sheet confirming that each room is free of flaking, peeling, dusty or other defective paint conditions;

(6) Conduct periodic inspections of each rental space/room and follow the same procedure with respect to the maintenance of inspection sheets signed by tenants;

(7) Treat all complaints of dust, peeling or flaking paint conditions as emergencies as requiring immediate attention;

(8) Retain or engage certified, licensed and insured contractors or workers with experience in the field to perform any required lead remediation, abatement or removal work.

(9) If denied access to a rental unit to perform an inspection or maintenance work, document the denial within the "tenant/ property folder " and follow up with a letter to the tenant confirming the failure to gain access to the residential unit.

Initial consultation is free. We can help you when you have been charged with DUI or DWI.

Anxiety upon arrest and being charged with drunk driving (DUI or DWI) by a driver is perfectly normal.   Frequently, when a DUI or DWI police stop occurs, this anxiety can manifest itself in a driver with decreased attention span, decreased ability to follow directions of the police officer, increase in the number of questions asked of the officer, and the need to seek reassurance, etc.
These actions can frequently cause an inaccurate and unfair impression to the officer of guilt on the part of the driver. This impression is usually overwhelmingly subjective in nature.

 There are numerous factors that can affect the disposition of a DUI or DWI case. Some
of them are as follows:

(1) The impaired driver had a high blood alcohol concentration (BAC) level;

(2) The impaired driver caused an accident;

(3) The impaired driver injured or killed someone else;

(4) The impaired driver had  a child passenger;

(5) The impaired driver was under the age of 21 at the time of the DUI or DWI offense;

(6) Thee impaired driver committed the DUI or DWI while breaking another law, such as speeding;

(7) The impaired driver had a history of DUI or DWI convictions (multiple violations).


Some common drunk driving (DUI or DWI) defenses include:

(a) Improper or unlawful stop by police;

(b) Inaccuracy of field sobriety test;

(c) Inaccuracy of portable breathalyzer test;

(d) Inaccuracy of standard breathalyzer test;

(e) Chain of custody of blood test; and

(f) Rising blood alcohol concentration (BAC) test.

Lead (Pb) has been used extensively in hundreds of utilitarian applications by mankind since prehistoric times : from sweetening of wine by the Romans to cooking utensils in Greece, etc. 

In its metal form or composition, lead (Pb) has been widely used in plumbing systems, lead-acid batteries, and tetraethyl lead in gasolines. Lead oxides have been used in many high quality paints.
Unfortunately, the ingestion or inhalation of lead in sufficient quantities can have detrimental effects on the human body; particularly in children up to age 7. Ingesting even minute amounts of lead --- particularly in children --- can affect the kidneys, the central nervous system, blood and reproductive systems.

The history of the use of lead-based paint in Baltimore (at least since Colonial times) and around the world is long.

When lead-based paint was marketed before 1978 in the United States, it was a legal product in demand because it was utilitarian --- washable, durable, attractive, etc. It was routinely accepted by municipalities, state and federal government agencies, and even specified for use on government buildings until about the mid-1970's. Use of lead-based paint in the U.S. peaked in about 1922, and by 1940 or so use of the popular "white lead" paint pigments for building interior use was declining.

In 1951, Baltimore banned the use of lead pigments in interior paint in Baltimore housing. This was the very first such restriction in the nation.

In 1971, the federal Lead Poisoning Prevention Act was passed.

In 1978, the Federal  Government banned residential and consumer uses of lead-based paint.

 For the most part, "tort laws" (civil wrongs) come from case law which is known as "common law."
Lawyers try to figure out what the law is from opinions of judges.

 Wrongful death cases are very different. Originally, in "common law" the surviving family members of the deceased victim were not able to sue the one(s) responsible for the wrongful death of the loved one. In essence, in terms of monetary remuneration to the family, it was unfortunately better to kill someone than to injure them.
Fortunately, the State of Maryland finally remedied this problem in 1852 with enactment of its own Wrongful Death Statute  [ Maryland Courts and Judicial Proceedings, Annotated, Code Section 3-904 - Action for wrongful death ].

Under Maryland law, a wrongful death claim is a separate cause of action, and is not derivative of a personal injury claim. This statute allows family members of the deceased victims to bring lawsuits for their losses.

If you have been named or sued in a lead paint case, call the premier lead paint defense attorney Charles Jerome Ware and his staff at (410) 720-6129. They can help you.

Lead-based paint was applied to over two-thirds of the houses built in the United States before 1940, and about a third of those built between 1940 and 1960 --- according to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Lead paint tastes sweet, so children (particularly up to age 7) have been poisoned from chewing and eating on flakes of lead paint. Residential landlords are the prime targets for lawsuits brought by tenants alleging lead paint poisoning.

 Lead paint was banned by the federal government for residential and other consumer uses in 1978.

Residential landlords should be ever mindful of  (1) property research prior to purchasing the residence, (2) proper maintenance of the property after purchase, (3) lawful notice to tenants residing in the property, and (4) good and lawful record-keeping on the property as well as the tenants.
