Waiving liability: Is it ironclad?

2014-03-22

It was a most amazing story in the news recently: as reported by kbtx.com, a young girl was taken skydiving by her father for her sixteenth birthday, something she had always wanted to do. She was taking a static-line jump, where the parachute is supposed to open when the jumper exists the plane. Jumping out of the plane at 3,000 feet, the girl's parachute failed to open properly and she spiraled to the earth. Amazingly, she not only survived, but was expected to leave the intensive care after only a few days and still faced a long recovery for her serious injuries. Although ...

Warrantless search of mailed package was not justified

2014-03-22

Under the Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution, a warrantless search is considered unreasonable unless the situation is covered by one of a number of exceptions to the law. One of those exceptions is related to "exigent circumstances"--a situation which, by its nature, requires immediate action. In the case of Robey v. Superior Court, the California Supreme Court discussed an incident in which the police claimed they had exigent circumstances to search a package containing marijuana . . . but the court disagreed. A shipping package . . . and ...

Pradaxa poses serious health risk to several users

2014-03-22

When patients consume medicine, the intention is to relieve medical issues or symptoms --not create them. However, some drugs are found to be defective, causing further issues for those who consume the product. For example, Pradaxa is a commonly used blood thinner; however, it is one of the most complained about medications in the country, according to ABC News. In fact, several complaints were filed with the Food and Drug Administration regarding the drug in the past few years. Since the medication was approved in 2010, Pradaxa has been linked to approximately 1,158 ...

Thousands injured from transvaginal mesh device, litigation continues

2014-03-22

Surgical mesh was first approved by the FDA in the 1950s to repair hernias. In the 1990s, the product was expanded to treat pelvic organ prolapsed and stress urinary incontinence conditions, particularly for women post childbirth. However, thousands of women have suffered injuries from transvaginal mesh. Many had to undergo additional surgical procedures, such as blood transfusions and draining, to correct the problems from the defective medical device. As of today, roughly 40,000 lawsuits have been filed against various manufacturers of the defective transvaginal mesh ...

"Bike cams" capturing danger posed to bicyclists in Chicago

2014-03-22

After an unusually cold winter in Chicago, spring is just around the corner. With the rise in temperature and the melting snow in sight, cyclists are itching to get back out on the road (at least those who did not brave the cold and snow and bike anyway). Bicyclists have reason to be excited. Last summer Chicago increased its number of bike lanes and added the bike sharing program "Divvy" to its city streets, which now has 400 bike stations across the city. Chicago is part of a growing movement that encourages bicycling even in urban environments for health and ...

Infant blindness case could proceed based on medical expert's report

2014-03-22

To prove medical malpractice, a patient often will need the opinions and reports of medical experts. These experts generally will provide a report which discusses the applicable standards of care in an area and how the health-care providers failed to meet those standards. In addition, the report must establish "causation"--that is, the relationship between the health-care provider's failure and the injury to the patient. Enough key facts, including information related to causation, must be included in the report for it to be valid, or else the health-care provider ...

Even theoretical physics has trouble determining a child custody schedule

2014-03-22

It comes as little surprise to most people that establishing a workable child custody schedule is difficult. The relationship between the parents, the age of the child, work schedules, and a host of other issues can influence a parent's desires and compromises when establishing a child custody plan that works in the best interests of the child. You wouldn't necessarily think it would take a theoretical physicist to figure it out, though. Yet that is exactly what one scientist did when figuring out a schedule to see all his children at the same time. The physicist, ...
