A construction site accident left one man in Dayton, Ohio with a severed major artery in his arm following a fall from scaffolding on July the 8th. Robert Earley was flown by helicopter to Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton, where a team of surgeons worked to reconnect the artery and tendons for several hours. Earley is now doing well; it is thought it will be one to two years before the arm is fully recovered.
Earley is in his late 20s, and was working at a construction site on Sabina Road when the accident occurred. He is employed by Lynch Construction, and was working on scaffolding when he fell approximately 18 feet and landed on his arm, severing the artery.
Chad Seaman, job supervisor, stated that when Earley fell, he reached out and caught a piece of steel, which cut Earley’s arm as he hit concrete. According to Chris Lynch of Lynch Construction, the injury was called a compression cut. Lynch stated that the bottom of the victim’s arm was busted and cut up pretty good.
Seaman drove Earley to the Clinton Memorial Hospital after phoning to let the emergency room know they were coming. He was then transported by Careflight to Miami Valley Hospital. Lynch said that Seaman was the “hero of the day”, and that it is believed things would have turned out much worse if it hadn’t been for Seaman. Earley’s family members also appreciated Seaman’s quick action.
While it isn’t known why Earley fell from the scaffolding or whether he was wearing a safety harness, falls are one of the most common causes of injuries on construction sites. Many times, scaffolding isn’t set up properly or isn’t secure which raises the risk of accidents.
Construction site accidents are very common; this is an industry that has one of the highest injury rates in the country. If you or a loved one have been injured in a construction site accident, you may be eligible for compensation of costs associated with your injuries.

In a suit brought against Banner Supply by many homeowners throughout the state of Florida, a tentative settlement of $54.5 million has been reached earlier this month. The defective products lawsuit was brought against the company following the discovery that the drywall contained harmful toxins that were contributing to corroding electrical wiring and pipes, as well as emitting foul odors causing breathing problems and headaches in homeowners.
Various builders throughout the Florida area purchased 1.4 million sheets of the defective drywall from the Miami based company. The drywall, Chinese drywall, was imported in to the United States following the devastation that took place during Hurricanes Katrina and Rita due to the increasing need to rebuild homes.
Banner Supply was not the only company to sell the drywall; the company purchased the defective drywall from a German distributor, Knauf Group. Banner maintains that they were lied to about the quality of the product prior to purchasing. While the company was forced to pay out a portion of this large settlement, they do intend to seek damages from the distributors and manufacturers who handled the products prior to Banner receiving them.
While it isn’t clear who is ultimately responsible for the defective drywall, the Chinese manufacturer, American supplier or the German distributor, it is clear that the homeowners are exuberant in their win.
Defective or faulty products are responsible for thousands of serious and fatal injuries every year. In this case, it appears that the physical symptoms (headache, difficulty breathing) could have easily led to more serious injuries.

The FSIS (Food Safety and Inspection Service) announced on May 25, 2011 that 500 pounds of ground beef have been recalled by Food Depot #24 in McDonough, GA after it was found that the products may be contaminated with E. Coli O157:H7.
The ground beef products were produced on May 19th and sold to customers of the store located at 560 Macon Street in McDonough. Sell by dates on the products is 5/20/11. The various products include 1 lb. up to 4 lb. tray packs of ground beef products.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s FSIS routinely conducts monitoring of food products, and checks to verify that retailers, firms and other establishments with foods that have been recalled notify customers. The FSIS also checks to ensure that foods that are recalled are not longer available to customers.
The E. Coli bacteria in the ground beef products was detected through routine monitoring. FSIS confirmed that the products tested positive for E. Coli O157:H7. As of May 25th, no illnesses had been reported in association with the recalled products.
Customers who purchased the ground beef products should contact the company’s corporate office at (770) 474-5904 with questions or concerns.
When handling ground beef and other raw meats or poultry, it is suggested that you wash hands with soap and water for a minimum of 20 seconds both before and after handling the meats.
Any items that come in to contact with raw meats should be washed in hot soapy water. Ground beef products should always be cooked to an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit. It is important to check internal temperatures; checking color to ensure it is well cooked is not a reliable indicator.
E. Coli food poisoning typically produces mild symptoms in healthy adults. These symptoms may include bloody diarrhea, abdominal cramps, nausea and dehydration. In those most at risk kidney failure can occur. Children, seniors and individuals with a weakened immune system are most susceptible to serious complications from E. Coli.

Shoplifting in Indiana is serious business, and a criminal offense that could leave you not only humiliated, but facing steep fines and possible jail time. Current economic times are tough, and many families cannot afford to buy groceries and other household necessities – but is it really worth stealing? Considering that shoplifting in Indiana could impact your life in many ways, it’s hardly worth taking that chance.
You may have been charged with shoplifting in Indiana and you are not guilty. Whether guilty or innocent, you need a capable attorney on your side to represent your rights. A competent lawyer will be able to prove your innocence if indeed you are innocent of the charges against you. If you did steal goods or services that did not belong to you, a skilled Indiana shoplifting attorney can often have the charged against you either dropped or reduced, lessening the impact on your life.
If you took something of minor value not knowing the serious implications of shoplifting in Indiana, it’s likely that you are frightened and really don’t know what to do. A seasoned Indiana criminal lawyer will help you, explaining the charges you are facing, the process, and what may be done to protect your rights and freedom. Even for a first offense, fines and imprisonment penalties can be harsh. You need the support of a knowledgeable, experienced Indian shoplifting attorney.
Shoplifting in Indiana doesn’t always mean that you physically removed an item from a store that you did not pay for. It could be that you received stolen property knowing it was stolen, changed a price tag on an item, or even paid for merchandise using a form of payment that you knew was no good, such as writing a hot check. Many people believe that shoplifting only means taking an item without paying for it, but his is erroneous.
The penalties you may face depend upon the value of the merchandise taken along with other factors. If you stole goods valued at under $250, you will likely be charged with a class A misdemeanor of criminal conversion. Goods valued at more than $250 constitute a class D felony theft offense. Either way, you are looking at much more than you bargained for.
Never take shoplifting in Indiana lightly, but if you do get charged with a criminal offense, depend on a reputable attorney to represent your rights. Without skilled legal counsel, your chances of having charges dropped or reduced are slim to none.

On November 9th of last year, one man was killed and another seriously injured following the explosion of a 10,000 gallon tanker in Tonawanda, NY at the DuPont plant on River Road. At the time of the explosion, it wasn’t clear what had caused it. According to police, the two men were working for an outside contractor when the deadly accident took place.
Now, 6 months later, DuPont and the contractor the two men were working for are being blamed by OSHA. Mollenberg-Betz is the contractor the men were working under; according to OSHA, the explosion could have been prevented if DuPont and the contractor had anticipated hazards. (article by injury attorney in Buffalo NY at Brown Chiari)
The tank the two men were working on was normally filled with a chemical called poly vinyl fluoride, but was said to be empty as they worked on the tanker on that fateful day. The 57-year-old man who lost his life was welding on top of the tank when it exploded. It was reported that sparks from his welding torch ignited vapors, leading to the explosion; he was killed instantly. The victim that sustained serious injuries was 50 years old.
The Buffalo contractor was cited with eight violations, DuPont received nine violations. OSHA found during investigations that while the tank the two men were working on was empty, it was still connected to two other tanks that were in operation.
DuPont is charged with failing to inform the contractor about the explosive hazards around the tank. They are also charged with not informing the contractor about the plant’s control program for hazardous energy, as well as the potential dangers of welding around the tank.
OSHA found both the contractor and DuPont negligent because neither made certain that the tank was indeed empty before the welder began to work. This tragic accident could have been avoided if the proper safety measures had been in place.

A reputable personal injury attorney Kansas City dedicates his/her time and effort to making sure that the rights of accident victims are protected. Those who have been injured in car wrecks, slip and fall accidents and in other ways because someone else was negligent face many challenges. The costs of these injures are not only monetary, but emotional and physical as well.
When someone is injured due to no fault of their own it can be devastating. A Kansas City personal injury lawyer works hard to ensure that a victim is compensated for their injuries so that they can get back on track to a somewhat normal life. Compensation may include not only costs related to the injuries, but also for lost wages, pain and suffering and in some circumstances punitive damages.
If you become injured because someone else was negligent you should not be expected to pay all of the expenses related to your injuries; those responsible must be held accountable. A qualified Kansas City personal injury attorney will work to prove the guilt of the responsible party and help victims get the justice they deserve.
Many people tend to associate personal injury lawsuits with car wrecks but it goes far beyond that. Motorcycle, construction, truck and railroad accidents, dangerous drugs or medical devices and nursing home abuse/neglect also fall under personal injury. Any time an individual suffers injuries that are caused by someone else it is important to consult with a Kansas City personal injury lawyer.
You may be thinking there is no need to talk to an attorney because the insurance company will compensate you for the damages. This is a huge mistake. Insurance companies are in business to make money; they will offer a cheap settlement that is only a fraction of the compensation you should be awarded.
It makes no difference whether an individual suffers only minor injuries or life-altering injuries. If they are severe enough to cause you to be unable to work or seek medical attention, a Kansas City personal injury attorney will help you recoup these costs, and even plan for compensation of medical expenses or related costs they may continue well in to the future. Don’t let the negligent actions of someone else change the course of your life. Consult with a compassionate, experienced attorney right away. You need strong legal counsel by a lawyer with a winning track record for reaching successful verdicts on behalf of his/her clients.

Indiana DUI laws are harsh; you do not want to get arrested for driving under the influence, but when you do it is essential that you contact a top Indiana DUI lawyer at once. We all make mistakes – even teachers, doctors and lawyers can make a bad decision and get behind the wheel of a car after a drink. By understanding Indiana DUI laws and what you may be facing, it might help you think twice before making the mistake of drinking and driving.
Unfortunately, many people think that getting arrested for DUI is no big deal. It absolutely IS! It is a criminal offense, and one that if convicted of will affect your reputation and leave you with a criminal record. Steep fines and jail time are just two of the penalties you may be facing. With each and every subsequent offense, the penalties become even more harsh.

According to Indiana DUI laws you have only a short period of time in which to preserve your legal rights. Never assume that because you are an upstanding citizen without prior arrests or convictions that you will be let off lightly. It is the job of a prosecutor to punish individuals who are charged with driving while under the influence. You have to look out for your own best interests, and part of your responsibilities is contacting a reputable attorney.
That being said, it is often the Indiana DUI laws that can work for you if you choose to work with an experienced lawyer. You must be proven guilty, and are innocent until proven otherwise. A compassionate lawyer will challenge all of the evidence brought against you, such as breath test results and the actions of the arresting police officer. Did he/she have cause to pull you over? Were test results accurate and reliable? A qualified lawyer can often use the Indiana DUI laws to have charges against you dropped completely, or at least reduced so that the impact to your life is lessened.
It’s important that you take Indiana DUI laws seriously; penalties in this state are more severe than in many other states. Whether you have been arrested for driving under the influence or just want to know what to expect should you ever be pulled over, be aware that this isn’t child’s play. Depending on whether you have been convicted on DUI charges before, you could be facing loss of your driving privileges, thousands of dollars in fees and years behind bars. Don’t take that chance.

Just recently, 15 people died and 17 others were injured when the charter bus on which they were riding overturned near the Hutchinson River Parkway, slamming in to a sign post that sliced a good portion of the top of the bus off. The bus, which was transporting the 32 passengers from the Mohegan Sun Casino to Chinatown, was allegedly clipped by a passing tractor-trailer rig, which did not stop.
Some of the survivors of the crash stated that the driver of the bus, 40-year-old Ophadell Williams of Brooklyn, had been dozing off sporadically before the crash occurred. According to these passengers, Williams woke up when the bus hit the rumble strip, careening out of control. He did pass a breathalyzer test.
While the driver of the big rig that clipped the bus did not stop, a trucker did contact police to state that he had witnessed the bus weaving and swerving as he was driving behind the bus. The big rig of the caller was impounded so that officials could inspect it to determine if it might be the truck involved in the bus collision.
13 of the victims were pronounced dead at the scene by emergency crews, and the remaining 17 passengers were transported to Jacobi and St. Barnabas hospitals for treatment. Two of those 17 died from their injuries on Monday.
Investigations were underway after the accident occurred, and police were in search of the driver of the tractor-trailer rig. A black box that was found on board the bus was being reviewed to see if any light could be shed on to how and why the crash took place.
It is a tragedy for one person to die in a crash, let alone 15. In this fatal crash, it is hard to determine whether the driver of the bus was at fault or the driver of the big rig who left the scene. In either event, those who drive these huge vehicles must be alert at all times, which seems not to have been the case in this accident.

On February 8th, a devastating tractor-trailer accident left 3 people dead in Jackson, Mississippi. The tractor-trailer sideswiped a school bus and then collided with a second school bus head-on leaving the driver of the truck, the driver of one of the school buses and one teacher dead. At least 17 high school students were injured in the crash.
The crash occurred on highway 8, about 40 miles south of the University of Mississippi at Oxford. Approximately 60 Ackerman High School seniors had visited the campus and were on their way home when the crash took place.
Killed in the accident were Gary Bailey, 54, driver of the tractor-trailer rig, Phyllis Graham, a 53-year-old school teacher and Steven Moss, 37, driver of the second bus that was hit head-on. Injured students were taken to area hospitals but none suffered life-threatening injuries.
Calhoun City fire chief Mike Dunagin told the Associated Press that one of the buses involved in the accident smashed up against a guard rail on an overpass bridge. The rear half of the bus dangled precariously over the guard rail, and Dunagin said that it was very fortunate that the bus didn’t go over the edge. The accident happened when the tractor-trailer rig swerved in to the wrong lane.

Even if you stole something that you would consider of very little value, it is essential that you consult with a reputable Indiana shoplifting attorney. Shoplifting is a criminal offense, no matter how minor you feel the crime was. You could be facing prison time and steep penalties, not to mention a criminal record and the ruin of your reputation. Whether you are guilty or innocent, if you have been accused you need a compassionate Indiana shoplifting attorney.
Why is this crime taken so seriously? Every year there are billions of dollars worth of merchandise taken from retailers. Yes, those $15 and $20 items do add up. You may have committed petty theft or grand theft depending on the value of the property you stole. A qualified Indiana shoplifting attorney will work with you to help minimize penalties, or have charges dropped completely when possible.
You may not be aware of it, but an individual can be prosecuted even if they stole nothing, but had the intention of stealing goods. You may have attempted to use an illegal form of payment; no matter how you try to justify what you did, it is a crime – and you need an experienced Indiana shoplifting attorney to represent your rights. While it may seem like a minor crime, if convicted you could be facing up to one year in jail and/or a fine of up to $5,000 if the merchandise you took was valued at $250 or less. So yes, you can be looking at a severe impact to your future even if you took merchandise that was worth very little in monetary value.
The results that you can expect when you hire an Indiana shoplifting attorney vary depending upon the evidence, eye witnesses and other factors. If there is no video of the supposed theft, a competent lawyer could get the charges against you dropped in many cases. No matter how hard the fact against you are, a reputable Indiana shoplifting attorney will represent your rights, help you through the legal process and protect your interests.
When you have been charged with shoplifting, it’s likely you don’t know where to turn or what to do. Having your freedom and reputation at stake is frightening.

Los Angeles car accident Lawyers can tell you that as a victim you have two years to settle a claim or file a lawsuit. There should be no regrets when you look back at your personal injury claim. Avoiding fatal mistakes that can wreck your claim will be critical in order to receive a fair settlement.
One of the fatal mistakes a number of accident victims have made is not keeping detailed records. An experienced personal injury lawyer in Los Angeles and previous accident victims can tell you, keeping detailed records is imperative to maximizing your settlement.
Economic Vs. Non-Economic Damages
In a personal injury claim you will have two types of damages. The first is referred to as economic damages and the second are called non-economic damages. Economic damages are monetary losses that have been caused by your personal injury accident. Non-economic damages are damages that are not easily summed up with a dollar value.
Receiving Economic Damages For Your Personal Injury Accident
Your personal injury claim will include a number of different economic damages. Keeping a detailed record of your damages will help you to recover the maximum settlement value. Some of these damages will include medical bills, lost pay, services that you are unable to perform because of your injuries, any loss of property, and loss of future wages.
Recording Non-Economic Damages For Your Personal Injury Claim
As mentioned earlier, it is important to keep detailed records throughout your personal injury claim. Non-economic damages will include intangible harms such as severe pain, humiliation, and loss of companionship, and physical and emotional distress. There may have been opportunities you have lost due to your injuries. There may be trips you can no longer take, or hobbies you can no longer complete.
Be Honest When Recording Your Personal Injury Damages
When recording your damages it is important to be honest. Exaggerating your damages could disqualify you in the eyes of a jury.

Frontier Bulk – Nutmeg Ground, 16 oz. UPC code 0-89836-00165-8 with a lot code of 0306
Whole Foods 365 – Nutmeg Ground, 1.92 oz. UPC code 0-99482-41931-8 with a lot code of 0321
The 1.92 oz. is a bottled glass item on which the lot code is located on the bottom. The lot code can be found on the 16 oz. item on the front label directly above the UPC code.
Earlier in the year, Mincing Overseas Spice Company was involved in another recall involving black pepper in which at least 272 people became ill after eating salami products that were coated with the black pepper. These products were produced by Daniele Inc. In the salami recall, salmonella montevideo and salmonella senftenberg were responsible for the illnesses. In the case of Frontier Natural Products, it is not yet known what strain of salmonella was responsible for the recall.
In any event, it seems as though Mincing Overseas Spice may need to consider selling only spices that have been irradiated. Simply put, irradiation is a process utilizing short wavelengths that have the ability to damage microorganisms and bacteria that contaminate foods and have the potential to cause illness.

If you have been arrested for driving under the influence, you need a capable Kansas City DUI lawyer who knows that most of the time these cases can be beaten. You may be tempted to plead guilty, and there are instances when that is probably best – but not usually. A competent attorney knows that there are many legal issues that can be used to protect your freedom, and prevent the charges from affecting your future.
Even if it is only your first offense, you face many penalties. Some of these include a fine of up to $500, 6 months in jail or both. You will be placed on probation for 1 to 2 years if convicted; you will also be required to attend a substance abuse program, and your drivers license will be suspended for 30 days after which you will be allowed to drive only to and from work for 60 days. These are just a few of the things a qualified Kansas City DUI lawyer will discuss with you so that you understand what you may be facing if found guilty. With penalties like these, you can just imagine the consequences of being convicted of a second or third offense!
A dedicated Kansas City DUI lawyer will place his focus on challenging the district attorney where a number of issues are concerned, including:
The reason you were stopped. Were you pulled over for a legitimate reason?
Did police perform a field sobriety test according to protocol, and can they prove it?
If you took a breath test, was the machine in proper working order, and are the results valid?
When it comes to being arrested for driving under the influence, there are numerous factors that can be challenged. In today’s society, law enforcement tends to go overboard at times when it comes to DUI. You may have had one or two drinks, and police officers will treat you as though you have been indulging to the point of intoxication, when in fact you have not.
An aggressive Kansas City lawyer knows these things, and understands every nuance of the DUI laws in Kansas City. Never choose an attorney who is not experienced, and will likely walk through a plea agreement; you deserve better. Also be advised that you should not answer questions posed by law enforcement, and you should not offer any information. They can and WILL use anything you may say against you.
If you have been arrested for driving under the influence, make the smart decision. Hire a Kansas City DUI lawyer with the knowledge, expertise and skills necessary to take your case to a successful verdict.
