The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has issued an advisory to parents and caregivers of young and fragile infants about the correct use of infant slings for babies under four months of the age. The warning comes after reports indicating that there may have been at least 14 deaths in the past twenty years due to the incorrect positioning of babies in the sling, including three deaths in 2009.

Parents who use the slings should consult the CPSC web-site to view directions about the correct positioning of babies in the sling. If babies are positioned incorrectly, their breathing can be obstructed.

According the CPSC's warning many of the babies who died were low birth weight, born prematurely or had breathing difficulties due to colds.

Matthew B. Sims of Port Angeles, was sentenced to three months in Clallam County jail for the February 3 incident in which his dog attacked his son and left him with serious dog bite injuries.

According a report in the Peninsula Daily News, Sims left his 11-year-old son alone with the dog -- a 50-pound Labrador retriever mix -- and it attacked the boy, biting him on his extremities and face. The boy was treated at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle and is now in foster care.

Sims was sentenced to three months on a dangerous dog charge and also a one month concurrent sentence for possession of a stolen vehicle.

An 8-year-old Lithonia, Georgia girl, Erin Ingraham, is in critical condition after two dogs viciously attacked her while she was playing in her family's yard Tuesday afternoon.

According to a report on CBS Atlanta.com, two dogs that "resembled pit bulls" seriously injured the girl in an attack that lasted four to five minutes. The girl was hospitalized with wounds to both arms.

A neighbor called 911 to report the attack and a police officer pulled the dogs off of the girl. When one of the dogs turned on the officer, he shot it. The other dog fled but was later captured; it will be put down.

The report said that the dogs had a history of attacking people. Charges against the dog owners are pending.

The Brain Injury Association of America (BIAA) recognizes March as Brain Injury Awareness Month and they are educating people that concussions are brain injuries.

The BIAA is working to educate coaches of athletic teams to recognize the signs and symptoms of brain injuries including concussions and second impact syndrome.

In Washington State, the "Zackery Lystedt" law requires coaches to receive concussion education and to remove a student athlete from the field of play if the athlete exhibits signs of a concussion. The player is not allowed to return to the field of play unless he or she has a release from a doctor.

Concussions are the most common type of traumatic brain injury. To diagnose a concussion usually requires a physical and neurological exam. Symptoms can include headaches, seizures, vomiting or unequal or unreactive pupils, and excessive drowsiness.

Of course sports injuries are not the only place that people can sustain a concussion. A fall, a car accident or even minor mishaps like running into a door jam can cause a concussion.

If you or a loved one has received a brain injury due to a sports injury, car accident, fall or due to the negligence of another, you should contact a personal injury attorney with expertise in the area of brain injuries. The Farber Law Group has more than 30 years experience representing brain injury victims and their families.

A lawsuit has been filed against Sky High Sports, a Bellevue company that offers trampoline recreation, alleging that the company is grossly negligent after patrons suffered serious injury.

According to a consumer investigation by KIRO 7 TV, trampoline jumpers have been taken to Overlake Medical Center from Sky High Sports more than a dozen times since Sky High opened last September for injuries including multiple incidences of broken tibia, fibula, ankle, and foot. The report also said there was an incidence of a neck injury, a back injury and a knee injury.

One physician at Overlake Medical Center says that in general, injuries could be reduced if only one person was allowed to jump at a time and if there is netting or protection over springs and grounds.

Since 1996, the US Consumer Product Safety Commission estimates that approximately 83,000 people have been injured on trampolines. Three-quarters of these patients were under the age of 15. In a report published in the Pediatrics journal, a recommendation was made that trampolines be banned for recreational, school and competitive use for children due to the likelihood of serious injury including spinal injuries and fractures.

The family of Hector Alvarez, who died at the age of 52 in Fairfax, Virginia, was awarded $1.25 million in a medical malpractice case against an Alexandria radiologist for misdiagnosing a hiatal hernia.

According to a report in The Washington Post, Alvarez went to the hospital in July 2006 with chest pains and trouble swallowing. A radiologist, William J. Dunwoody III, checked Alvarez's CT scan and diagnosed a hiatial hernia. Hiatial hernias are typically diagnosed using an upper GI or endoscopy.

Alvarez was treated for the hernia until the next day when a surgeon discovered that Alvarez actually had a perforated esophagus. Alvarez suffered cardiac arrest and during preparation for surgery to repair the tear. He subsequently died.

Alvarez's family's wrongful death suit claimed that if Alvarez had not been misdiagnosed he could have received prompt treatment and not become so weakened that he would not have died.

During the pretrial process, the Fairfax Anesthesiology group agreed to a $600,000 settlement. The radiology group, Pro Assurance, elected to go to trial. The Fairfax jury awarded $3 million to Avlarez's family in a judgment against ProAssurance but malpractice caps reduced the judgment to $1.25 million.

The trial of Dennis Geyer, a 38-year-old neurosurgeon who is charged with second-degree assault with an enhancement of using a deadly weapon began on Tuesday reports The Olympian.

Geyer was charged with beating Robert Speed, 61, in a fit of 'road rage' says prosecutors.

The incident between Geyer and Speed apparently began on Highway 16 when Geyer claims Speed cut him off with his car. Geyer allegedly followed Speed and, when the two men were stopped at an intersection near Gig Harbor, a confrontation ensued and Geyer allegedly slugged Speed and hit him with a thermos after dragging him from his car.

Road rage is a form of aggressive driving which can include assaults or even collisions which cause injury or death. According to the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration, aggressive driving can include speeding, lane changes which include "cutting off" and failing to signal when passing or passing on the shoulder.

Road rage can often be a symptom of poor mental health and can be affected by traffic flow, traffic volume and over-exposure to driving. Excessive driving can increase the chance than an other-wise non-violent person can become more violent.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) just released their annual report entitled Toy-Related Deaths and Injuries Calendar Year 2008. The report found that there were fewer toy-related deaths among children under the age of 15 in 2008 compared to 2006 and 2007. In 2008, there were 19 children whose deaths were reported as toy-related. The number of toy-related injuries averages around 229,600 each year.

The CPSC relies on data obtained at Emergency Rooms as to the cause of the injury and the toy involved. This information is not always obtained but it helps the CPSC identify dangerous toys.

Toy-Related Deaths

In 2008, there were 19 toy-related deaths among children under 15 years of age. Most deaths resulted from drowning, being hit by a motor vehicle or choking/airway obstruction caused by a small toy like a ball or a small toy part.

Riding toys continued to be the most dangerous. There were four deaths associated with tricycles: two children were killed while riding a tricycle when they were hit by a motor vehicle and two died when they rode their tricycles into swimming pools and drowned. Four deaths were related to non-motorized riding toys: two children were hit by motor vehicles, one while riding in a wagon and one while riding a toy motorcycle. One child rode his toy into a pond and drowned and the other fell from a toy and suffered fatal internal injuries.

Two toy-related deaths involved balls, one in which a child chased a ball into the street and was hit by a motor vehicle and the other death involved a child drowning when a ball obstructed a bathtub drain.

Toy-Related Injuries

In 2008, approximately 235,300 children under the age of 15 were treated in U.S. hospital emergency rooms. 47% of the injuries treated were classified as lacerations, contusions or abrasions with 45% of these to the head or face.

Non-motorized scooters were the toy most closely related to injury to children under the age of 15. The CPSC has seen an increasing trend of injuries related to non-motorized scooters for all age children.

Medical malpractice victims and their families traveled to Washington DC this week to pressure Congress not to take away their rights as work is being done on a national health-care bill. The victims -- many of them seriously injured by medical negligence -- are asking Congress not to limit their ability to redress wrongs that have been done to them.

An article on the Common Dreams.org web-site told about the families from nine states, including victims of catastrophic injury due to medical malpractice, who met with lawmakers. Congress has been attempting to reduce malpractice awards of patients in an effort to reduce health care costs. Says David Arkush, director of Public Citizen's Congress Watch division, "Congress should work on curing this epidemic [medical malpractice and negligence], not compounding the damage by shielding bad doctors and limiting the rights of victims."

Every year 98,000 people die of medical errors. Obstetrics and birth injury malpractice can be some of the most noteworthy because the damages last a life time. Parents who have severely damaged or injured child due to negligence during child birth may have a life time of educational and medical expenses and putting caps on awards can severely limit the care a family obtains for their child.

Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles admitted Monday that more than 200 brain scans performed at the hospital in the past 18 months resulted in patients receiving more than 8 times the normal dose or radiation.

According to a report in The Los Angeles Times, the hospital made a mistake in setting a CT scan machine for a test called CT brain prefusion scan. The test was done on approximately 206 patients since February 2008. The hospital discovered their error when a stroke patient contacted the hospital and told them about hair loss after the scan. The hospital then contacted 206 patients who had undergone the CT brain perfusion scan and they found that 40% had patch hair loss and some also mentioned reddening of the skin.

The CT scan machine was manufactured by GE. GE said that there were no malfunctions or defects in the machine but the mistake was made when the radiologist did an override on the pre-programmed instructions. Usually, when radiologists override pre-programmed settings, it is to lower the radiation settings for children and small adults. Too much radiation can raise a person's cancer risk.

Since the error was discovered, the Food and Drug Administration has asked that all hospitals check their CT scan protocols.

Cedars-Sinai provided a written statement that said:

"There was a misunderstanding about an embedded default setting applied by the machine. As a result, the use of this protocol resulted in a higher than expected amount of radiation."

A CT scan is a medical imaging method which allows radiologists to generate a three-dimensional image to supplement x-rays. It used to diagnose a large number of diseases and for screening for disease. CT scans of the head are commonly used to scan for brain injury, skull fractures, bleeding in the brain, brain tumors or after a stroke. The patients at Cedars-Sinai that underwent the CT brain perfusion were potential stroke patients.

Washington state has a wrongful death statute which allows the family of a person who died as a result of negligence or the wrongful act of another to recover damages. Wrongful death lawsuits are usually brought on behalf of a loved one by a spouse, parent or child.
