As our parents and grandparents’ age, they tend to develop health problems and sometimes they need to enter a nursing home where 24/7 help is available. The main problem with this solution is that we cannot be with them, and sometimes when an accident happens, we cannot determine the underlying reason for the accident.
Slip and fall accidents are very common in older adults, and can have serious and lasting detrimental consequences. In the case of any fall involving an elderly person, you must determine if the fall was caused by an accident or if it is a signal of an underlying health condition.
If the fall happens only once, as a result of tripping on an obstacle or sliding on ice, the fall was probably due to an accident. If falling becomes frequent, it can indicate an underlying disease, like a urinary tract infection, respiratory infection, or heart disease. Elderly people may fall if they get dizzy from a sudden drop in blood pressure or dizziness caused by medication.
If your aging relative falls while in a nursing home, you should have him examined by a doctor to determine if there are underlying reasons for the fall. The doctor will not only examine your relative, he will also review all medications and supplements being taken.
Elderly people tend to fall when they trip over rugs, slippery floors, uneven surfaces, and beds and chairs that are the wrong height. The nursing home may be negligent in causing any number of factors that contributed to the fall.
If your relative has been seriously injured in a fall, you may want to consider consulting or hiring an experienced Philadelphia injury lawyer to help you handle the claim with the nursing home or their insurance company.
On Monday, February 22, 2010 U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood announced sample legislation to be used as a starting point for states like Pennsylvania that are creating laws prohibiting texting while driving. LaHood suggests even more stringent fines for truck and bus drivers, who text while driving commercial vehicles. They may be subject to civil or criminal penalties of up to $2,750.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has suggested that law enforcement officers be authorized to stop a vehicle and issue a citation if they notice a driver texting. This is in response to the dangers of texting while driving.
Texting while driving is particularly dangerous because drivers take their eyes off the road, their hands off the wheel, and their mind off driving. There were almost 6,000 deaths and more than 500,000 injuries in 2008 that resulted from crashes involving a distracted driver.
President Obama issued an Executive Order banning text messaging while driving government-owned vehicles or with government-owned equipment that went into effect on December 30, 2009.
Pennsylvania is one of the 19 states considering a texting ban. Distracted driving obviously causes accidents, and whether states vote to enforce the sample federal law or not, it may be difficult to stop drivers from using hand held phones while driving. If you or a loved one has been injured in an accident involving a distracted driver, please contact a Philadelphia Accident Lawyer now
On March 2, 2010 the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Lutron Electronics issued a voluntary recall of Lutron Shading Solutions Roman Shades for about 5,000 products that were distributed through the Coopersburg, PA Company, because there is a risk of strangulation. The blinds were manufactured in Virginia by VIMCO – Virginia Iron and Metal Company.
For more information contact Lutron’s Recall Hotline: (866) 793-4270 or check their website www.lutron.com/CERUSromans.
There are several other retailers who have participated in this voluntary recall of Roman shades and roll-up blinds beginning in December 2009. The recall involves all custom ordered motorized and manual Lutron Shading Solutions Roman shades. Almost all these shades were professionally installed. If you suspect that your shades were involved in this recall, check the box for “Lutron Shading Solutions” or “Lutron Shading Solutions by VIMCO”. These shades were sold between January 2000 and August 2009 by Expo Design Centers and dealers.
The risk of strangulation occurs if a child puts his neck between the cord and the fabric on the backside of the blind or pulls the cord out and wraps it around his neck. Strangulation can also occur if the shade’s chain is not attached to the wall or floor, and the child puts his neck into the chain’s loop. There have not been any injuries reported in connection with this recall.
If you own the automatic Roman shades you should immediately stop using them and contact Lutron Electronics to have them removed, repaired and reinstalled. If you own the manual Roman shades check to make sure the tension device is attached to the looped operating cord and attached to the wall or floor. If it is not, contact Lutron Electronics to obtain a free repair kit, and mount the device into the wall or floor. Lutron is available to help you through this process.
Even if you do not have these shades, it is a good idea for home owners to check all their shades and blinds to ensure that there are no easily reached cords. If you child has been involved in a strangulation accident, contact a Philadelphia Injury Lawyer for a free case assessment.
Doctor’s handwriting has always been the source of jokes because in many cases it is so cryptic. But in a recent report presented at the Diabetes UK’s Annual Professional Conference in Liverpool this week, it was suggested that bad handwriting is no laughing matter. Doctor’s bad handwriting is responsible for prescription errors.
The UK Diabetes research indicates that in one out of 20 cases, instructions about medication could easily be misread because of poor handwriting. The study used the hospital charts of 75 diabetes patients. In just these 75 patients alone, the report showed that there was one error in every six prescriptions, and that the timings for insulin injections were wrong in one out of every three charts!
There are serious ramifications of incorrectly following insulin injection guidelines and since one in ten hospital patients has diabetes, these are commonly prescribed. The high percentage of insulin errors resulting from poorly written instructions can have serious consequences, sometimes even fatal consequences.
The report stated that “A misunderstanding from an abbreviation for insulin units could have serious if not fatal consequences. For example, a doctor should prescribe insulin as “10 units” at a specified time, if written as “10 I U” or “10 I units”, this could be easily misread as 101 units.”
By providing training to doctors and nurses, the report also showed a significant decrease in prescription errors.
If you or a loved one has suffered as result of incorrectly prescribed medication, you may need the help of a Lawyer for Medical Malpractice.

Doctors typically prescribe Reglan or its generic equivalent Metoclopramide to treat, among other conditions, acid reflux. At least two studies have linked Reglan to Tardive Dyskinesia, a permanent neurological disorder that is characterized by involuntary movements of the face, tongue and mouth.
The FDA has issued a “Black Box Warning on Metoclopramide”, but as of February 2009 the drug is still on the market, and doctors have been told to recommend it only for short term use.
Other studies have associated Reglan and Metoclopramide with Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome (NMS), a dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system, affecting heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, and body temperature. NMS Symptoms can include:
Fevers of (101º-108º F)
Bouts of sweating and increased blood pressure
Irregular heart rate
Rigid muscles
Coma or unconsciousness
If you think you or a loved one has been adversely affected by Relgan or Metoclopramide, call (610) 370-6697 for a free consultation.
On January 21, 2010, the Conair Corp. of Stamford, CT voluntarily recalled the Lysol Steam Cleaning Mop which is manufactured in China. The product recall was in cooperation with the Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC), and the hazard is the potential for the hot water and Lysol solution to burst from the unit and harm users. The water rupture causes the water housing unit to break, making the consumer vulnerable to lacerations in addition to the burn risk.
There have been 14 reports of hot water bursting from the reservoir, and two minor burns were reported with these consumers who needed medical attention. Unit model numbers SM10L or SM10LR are printed on the bottom of the mop, and about 162,000 units were sold at national retailers and on the internet from September 2006 through September 2009. Consumers who purchased these items should stop use of the unit, and can contact Conair at 800-687-6916 or www.conair.com/recallmop for a replacement mop which does not pose the hazard.
Tap water at high temperatures is the leading cause of scalds and hospital admissions for burns, and the active ingredients in Lysol are irritants to the skin and eyes. Lawsuits for injuries can result from faulty cleaning equipment that uses water at high temperatures and can be reviewed with Philadelphia Accident Lawyers.
Pier 1 Imports of Ft. Worth, Texas in cooperation with the Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC) recalled their Silver Glitter Tea Lights and Gold Glitter Tea Lights on January 14, 2010. The decorative glitter in the candles can ignite, making the items a fire hazard. No injuries have been reported, but the company has had three consumer complaints with concerns about the glitter burning. About 40,000 units of the product have been sold in the United States and Canada.
Look for the SKU number on the bottom of the package reading SKU 2410335 and
SKU 2410322 to determine if the box is a recalled product. Pier 1 Imports retailers will give a full refund or merchandise credit when returned to the store.
Combustibles placed too close to the flame cause most candle fires in homes, and this risk is increased by the ignitable glitter in this product. Residential fires caused by candles are a frequent problem. According to the National Fire Protection Association, the number of fires caused by decorative candles has doubled in the last ten years.
A Philadelphia Accident Lawyer can manage accidents and injuries from faulty products including fires caused by defective decorative candles, and can fairly determine settlements and liabilities.
