Seattle's King5.com reports that a two-year-old child was injured after falling out of a window in Kent, Washington.

According to the report, the toddler fell out of a second story window after pushing the screen out. The report said the child was conscious.

On June 1st, we reported on another child that fell from a Tacoma second story window.

The employees at the Harborview Trauma Center nickname the children who fall from windows, "window jumpers." Every year at Harborview, between 50 and 60 children from the Seattle-are are treated for falls from windows.

Parents and caregivers need to get the message that screens are not strong enough to contain a child or toddler that leans on it. Window guards need to be installed on 2nd story windows in homes, daycare centers, etc. where small children live and play.

Falls from window can cause traumatic brain injuries, fractures, spinal cord damage and often death.

The Tacoma News Tribune reports that a baby was injured in a fall from a second story window in the 13700 block of 97th Avenue East.

The baby was taken to Mary Bridge Children's Hospital and is expected to survive the accident.

As the weather becomes warmer, open windows become a hazard to small children. Every year, Harborview Medical Center in Seattle treats between 50 and 60 children in and around Seattle for falls from windows. Harborview employees nickname these patients, "Window jumpers."

It is not always neglect when a child falls. Parents off believe that a screen on a window is enough protection for their child. However, a screen is not strong enough to contain a child or toddler that leans on it.

Falls from windows can result in severe injuries including traumatic brain injury, fractures, spinal cord damage and often death.

Parents and caregivers should install window guards, move furniture away from windows and install window stops which prevents windows from opening full.

An Edmonds man, Chris Harris, is in critical condition at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle with a traumatic brain injury after police chased and tackled him, and he fell hitting his head reports The Seattle Times.

The incident occurred around 1am on Sunday when a witness mistakenly identified Harris as a suspect in a Belltown neighborhood stabbing and beating. Police chased Harris and for some reason, he ran. When police caught up with him, they tackled him and his head slammed into a concrete wall causing multiple skull fractures to the front of his head.

Harris is listed in critical condition and is unconscious and may not survive.

Harris' stepfather, Todd Keeling of Mountlake Terrace, said the family has viewed a videotape of Harris' arrest. He said it appears as if Harris had stopped running when he was tackled.

Harris is married and works at Arnies Restaurant in Edmonds. He grew up in Seattle and Olympia and had attended the Seattle Art Institute, according to the report in The Times.

Harris' family have hired an attorney.

Police are reviewing the video of the pursuit and tackle of Harris.

In a case like this, we recommend that a family contact a qualified and experienced personal injury attorney as soon as possible. An experienced attorney can protect the injured person's legal interest and make sure that his/her rights are protected.

The Seattle Times reports that a Dallas Cowboys scouting assistant suffered a serious injury when his spine was severed when a tent-like canopy structure collapsed on him during a severe and sudden storm. Rich Behm, age 33, suffered permanent paralysis from the waist down in the accident. Surgeons operated to stabilize his thoracic spine on Sunday.

Behm was one of 12 people injured in the accident that occurred on Saturday. Three of the 12 injured were Cowboys staff members. Assistant athletic trainer Greg Gaither had surgery to repair fractures to the tibia and fibula in his right leg. Joe DeCamillis, the team's special teams coach, sustained a fracture to a cervical vertebrae but he did not suffer any paralysis.

The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is investigating the cause of the collapse. The $4 million practice facility was built in 2003 and the roof replaced just last year.

The storm that hit the structure which covered a football field had winds which were measured at 64mph which is almost the level of a tornado.

Steven Gall, a Medford, Oregon, man who suffered traumatic brain injuries after being hit in the head by a discus at a Rotary relay has filed a suit against the Medford Rotary Club for failing to safeguard spectator's safety.

Gall was photographing the event in April of 2007, when a 3.3 pound discus hit him in the head above his eye. He suffered brain lacerations and skull fractures and has a cognitive impairment due to his injuries. He has trouble reading and working.

In the lawsuit against the Rotary Club, Gall is asking $2.7 million in compensation including $2.5 noneconomic damages, $65,000 for medical expenses, $3,500 loss of income and $125,000 or more loss in income in the future. Non economic damages damages allow a person to recover monies for mental anguish and physical caused by the injury accident.

The lawsuit claims that the Rotary Club was negligent in the setup of the spectator area and knew that a discus was likely to go into the spectator area as one had earlier in the day.

Gall settled with the Medford School District for a sum of $125,000 about six weeks ago.

King County has awarded a Seattle man and his wife $3.5 million in compensation for a traumatic brain injury the man suffered in a bicycle accident on a county road near Redmond.

Lawyers for the injured cyclist, Jeffrey Totten, and his wife, Danielle Leavell, said the county was negligent because it designated Novelty Hill Road as a bike route but the road was not maintained in a "safe condition" reports The Seattle Times.

Totten was severely injured in September of 2006 when his bicycle hit a depression in the road. He was in a coma for seven months after the accident and will required round-the-clock nursing care for the rest of his life according to his lawyers.

Traumatic brain injuries can vary a great deal from person-to-person. The majority of patients recover within a year, but other patients take years to overcome their impairment and others never recover.

The County worked with Totten's lawyers and a mediator and came to a settlement last week without a jury trial.

The Centers for Disease Control reports that falls are the leading cause of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) in older adults. TBI are caused by a force to head such as a bump or a blow and can injure the brain and effect how it works.

Symptoms of TBI include:

• Headache
  
• Slowness in thinking, speaking, and reaction
  
• Lack of energy
  
• Changes to sleep patterns
  
• Blurred vision
  
• Ringing in the ears
  
• Mood changes
  
• Sensitivity to lights and sounds

Severe symptoms include:

• A worsening headache
  
• Vomiting or nausea
  
• Seizures
  
• Inability to rouse from sleep
  
• Unresponsive or non-reactive pupils
  
• Slurred speech
  
• Numbness or weakness of the extremities
  
• Increased confusion or agitation

Seniors on blood thinners such as Coumadin should be examined by a health professional any and every time they have a head injury.

Fall Prevention

When choosing a nursing home for your loved one, make sure that the home works on preventing falls. Some of the things you should look for include:

• Exercise programs
  
• Floors and rugs that are installed as to not create a tripping hazard
  
• Shelves and storage in rooms are conveniently placed
  
• Grab bars in toilet areas and in tubs and showers
  
• Non-stick mats in bathtubs and shower floors
  
• Proper lighting
  
• Handrails along staircases and halls
  
• Residents are wearing non-slip shoes

Car accidents, sporting accidents, a fall, or a bumping the head at the local hardware store are all accidents which can cause a brain injury and change how the brain works. A minor car accident, a nursing home patient falling out of bed, or a young soccer player heading a ball can may seem not to be serious accidents but they can result in life-altering brain injuries or even death.

What to look for after an accident:

• Monitor the accident victim -- If a person has been in an accident where they have hit their head or their head has been bumped, even if they have never become unconscious, you should monitor them.
• Dizziness, headache, confused thinking and vomiting are warning signs -- if the accident victim displays any of these symptoms, take them to the emergency room immediately.
• Monitor changes in condition -- if the accident victim's symptoms change -- a head ache worsens, they become sleepy or any other change in their behavior within 12 hours of their head injury, they may have a brain bleed and they should be taken to the emergency room immediately.
• Medication -- Be more aware if the person is on blood thinner medication.
• Senior Citizens -- Be more vigilant if the accident victim is elderly or frail.
• Monitor young athletes.
• Take the patient to a trauma center -- In the greater Seattle area and Washington State, Harborview Medical Center in Seattle is the place where victims of serious accidents are taken. Harborview has a neurosurgeon on call which is really important when a person has a head injury and time can be of the essence.

A 15-year-old dirt bike rider was taken to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle with head injuries and two broken arms after a motorcycle accident. According to the Skagit Valley Herald, the teenager, followed by his parents, was riding down a logging-style road about 3-1/2 miles from Lake Cavanaugh Road when he collided head-on with Andrew Nakao, 23, of Everett. The teen apparently hit his head on impact. His condition is unknown at this time.

State patrol Trooper Keith Leary said that the teen was riding down the road around 25 mph as Nakao rode his bike uphill at around 60mph. Nakao apparently cut across a blind corner and the two bikes collided. The speed limit for the state managed off-road area is 25mph.

Nakao was also taken to Harborview and was in satisfactory condition with a broken right femur and wrist. He was cited for negligent driving. Negligent driving can be charged if a person fails to exercise ordinary care and endangers any person or property. First degree negligent driving involves the use of alcohol or drugs while second degree does not.

With gas prices soaring and a weak economy, more people than ever are choosing to ride motorcycles as an economical way to get to work. However, motorcycle riders are the most vulnerable in motor vehicle accidents because there are no seat belts and riders can be thrown in a crash. The death and injury rate for motorcycle riders continues to rise.

In Washington State, motorcycle riders need to obtain a motorcycle endorsement by the Department of Licensing. The endorsement is one way to encourage motorcyclists to have extra knowledge and training before taking their motorcycle on the highway.

Safety Tips:

Wear a helmet

always wear a helmet and make sure it meets the Department of Transportation (DOT) standards. A helmet is of utmost importance and may mean the difference between surviving a crash and dying.

Watch the "No-Zone"

a "No-Zone" is a truck's blind spot. Trucks have blind spots on both side where the driver cannot see you. If you ride in the blind spot, your chances of a crash increase.

Drive as if you were invisible

motorcycles are the smallest vehicle on the road and have no protection. Many times motorists do not see you. Pay attention to brake lights and signals. Be extra careful at intersections.

Drive smart

keep to the speed limit, don't over drive your ability to handle your motorcycle. An increasing number of motorcyclists are getting into accidents because they are driving motorcycles more powerful than they can handle. They also travel at speeds at which they can not handle the motorcycle. An increasing number of motorcyclists are crashing around curves, bends and turns.

Watch speed

motorcycles accelerate faster than other vehicles. Especially watch your speed around trucks at night and in bad weather. Motorcycles sometimes crash into the rear of trucks.

Safety check your motorcycle

safety check your motorcycle every single time you ride it to insure it is in good working condition. Proper maintenance is essential.

Wear proper gear

protective clothing such as leathers, jackets and gloves can really protect you if you are in a crash.

In the past few years, hunters have been increasingly using tree stands for hunting. From a tree-stand perch, a hunter is out of the deer's field-of-vision and also out of their range for scent detection allowing hunters to have an excellent vantage point for hunting. Many tree stands are mounted 10 to 30 feet or more above the ground level. As the use of tree stands have become more commonplace, there have been many serious injuries including internal injuries, spinal cord injury, brain injury, paralysis and death among hunters who have had falling accidents involving tree stands.

North Carolina had four serious hunting accidents in two weeks of September including two fatalities. Investigators found that hunters that fell were not using a fall-restraint system.

Hunters fall for many reasons and lack of proper safety precautions and equipment is one of them. The Consumer Product Safety Commission, in conjunction with the Treestand Manufacturers Association, found that 82% of all hunters suffering from a fall injury were not wearing a safety device.

Recommended safety precautions include

• Test your tree stand regardless of whether it is homemade or manufactured.
  
• Hunt with a partner or group and rendezvous at designated times.
  
• Do not drink while hunting.
  
• Maintain three points of contact when climbing up and down a tree stand ladder as with any ladder.
  
• Use a haul line to carry your equipment up into the tree stand; keep your hands free for climbing. 75% of all tree stand falls are while climbing up or down the tree.
  
• Check to make sure safety equipment is in good repair.
  
• Make sure you install your tree stand in a healthy tree, not one that is decayed, leaning or without rough bark.
  
• Wear a full body harness.

A jury has provided for a $19.6 million medical malpractice settlement to parents of a baby who was brain-damaged at birth and the mother who suffered severe injuries during delivery, reports St. Vincent's Medical Center in Manhattan.

According to the trial transcripts, Daniel Maing suffers from cerebral palsy after Dr. Po Ching Fong, a hospital resident at the time, used forceps improperly onduring the birth process. Daniel Maing was severely oxygen deprived and had to be resuscitated upon birth. The anesthesiologist also erred by inserting a breathing tube into Daniel's esophagus rather than his windpipe.

In addition to the injuries to Daniel, Mrs. Maing suffered extensive tearing to her vaginal area, all the way to the rectum. The mother suffered severe scarring and has a lot of pain to this day.

The jury, which deliberated one day after a three-week trial, found St. Vincent's Medical Center and their doctors responsible, awarding $12 million to Mrs. Maing and $7.6 to Daniel

Medical malpractice during the birth process can have disastrous consequence. Fetal distress involving the lack of oxygen to the child's brain often results in irreversible brain injury. This is known as hypoxia which is diagnosed as cerebral palsy. Babies can also suffer from cortical blindness, mental retardation and learning disabilities. Caring for a severely injured child can be a huge burden on a family and they deserve to be compensated for their enormous medical and educational expenses.

A 5-year-old-boy was seriously hurt and taken to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle after falling from a 2nd story window in Baring, Washington near Index. Falls from open windows becomes increasingly common during the summer months and warm weather. According to King5.com, last summer 25 children were treated for falls from a window. Falls can be very serious resulting in serious head, neck and back injuries, broken bones, permanent brain damage and often death.

As a homeowner, you may be found negligent if a child falls from a window in your own home. Negligence arises when a person fails to exercise proper caution. In the case of a window, it should be properly screened or the lock should be fastened. You would be liable to compensate the injured person for their injuries, medical costs and pain and suffering.

A Consumer Product Safety Alert cites 21 deaths in warning that movable soccer goals can be dangerous to kids. The US. Consumer Product Safety Commission says that movable goals are responsible for at least 21 deaths since 1979 due to the goals falling on children. Click here to view an ABC video regarding a deadly soccer goal accident in Phoenix.

According to the web-site Anchored for Safety, there have been 34 deaths and 51 injuries since 1979 attributed to soccer goals including the death of a 22 year old man in Bellevue, Washington who died when a goal post fell onto his head causing massive head injuries. In Woodinville, Washington, a 5 year old girl was injured when a goal post bar fell on her and a 16 year old girl was seriously injured in Yakima when a goal fell on her, striking her in the head. Other injuries include broken bones and severe head and brain injury.

According to Anchored for Safety, the problem with soccer goals is their design. Goals can weigh up to 400 pounds and they are top heavy. Both the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Anchored for Safety call for anchoring soccer goals to the ground to prevent injury and death. Goals should also be re-anchored after they are moved for mowing the grass or for storage. Long term solutions include designing new goals to be tip-resistant and building them out of lighter materials.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission also provides the following safety suggestions:

• Securely anchor all movable goals at all times.
• Never climb on the net or goal framework.
• All nets should be removed when not in use.
• Anchor goals to sturdy fixtures like fence posts when not in use.
• Check all anchor hardware before use and replace damaged or missing parts.
• Disassemble goals for off-season storage.
• Use caution when moving goals.
• Instruct players on goal hazards.
• Use movable goals only on flat surfaces.

If you or a loved one has been seriously injured in a soccer goal accident, you should contact a personal injury attorney. The Farber Law Group has more than 30 years experience in representing victims of serious personal injury and wrongful death. Contact us today for a free case evaluation.

Every day, an average of 100 people across the United States are treated in emergency rooms for construction accidents involving pneumatic nail guns. In a previous posting, we highlighted some of the serious injuries and even deaths caused by the use of the coil type. In that posting, we discussed a wrongful death claim brought by a widow of a man killed while using a coil type of pneumatic gun. In her wrongful death suit, the widow claims that the contact type of gun should be banned from the market. She is not alone as forensic scientists and emergency room doctors alike believe that the sequential type of nail gun is far safer.

Injuries caused by using automatic nail guns include puncture wounds, brain and head injuries, eye injuries and fractured bones. Musculoskeletal injuries include sprains and tendonitis.

Use the following safety tips when operating a nail gun:

• Use the sequential trigger type, not the coil type of tools

• Obtain proper training in the correct use of the tool

• Carry the tool with your finger away from the trigger

• Always assume the tool is loaded

• Don't point the tool at anyone at any time

• Keep your hands out of the way

• Keep a safety zone around you, making sure co-workers do not enter it

• Disconnect the tool before trying to repair it or clear jams

• Wear safety glasses.

If you have been seriously injured while using a nail gun, contact the construction attorneys at The Farber Law Group. We have more than 30 years experience in representing people who have been seriously injured or killed while working in the construction trade. Contact us today for a free case evaluation.

The Washington State Department of Social and Health Services and the Washington Traumatic Brain Injury Strategic Partnership Advisory Council launched a campaign on March 1st to “raise awareness and provide a way for people to get information about available resources” regarding Traumatic Brain Injuries. The Seattle Post Intelligencer‘s reporter, Cherie Black, wrote an excellent article about the pain and suffering that TBI victims suffer. In her PI article she told the heart-felt stories of several individuals whose lives were dramatically altered after a TBI. She also asks that you share your own stories of TBI on her blog entitled, “Brain Injuries Suck”.

The leading causes of TBI are:
• Falls (28%).
• Motor vehicle-traffic crashes (20%).
• Struck by/against events (19%).
• Assaults (11%).1
• Since the Iraq war, an increasing number of soldiers experience TBIs due to explosions.
