Another theory which we had was against the bus driver for failing to be alert. How could there have been numerous incidents without the bus driver knowing about them unless he was not paying attention? We settled the case for hundreds of thousands of dollars. This is just one example of the lack of supervision that may result in a good case against the school for lack of supervision.

The hotel or motel owner has a duty to make the room safe for its guest and if there is an infestation of bed bugs then obviously this has not been done. If you are in the position where you have been the victim of bed bug bites, call me for some expert advice about what to do and I will tell you if you have a law suit that is worth pursuing.

It seems that one year before she was in my office she had undergone a total hip replacement because she had arthritis of the hip. The physician told her that if he replaced her hip with an artificial hip she would be fine. So the woman underwent the operation. Unfortunately the pain kept getting worse after the surgery. Finally, she went to another doctor who told her that the ball of the new hip was too small and that is why she was having so much pain. We are now commencing a law suit against the surgeon for failing to implant the right size artificial hip. It is an open and shut case.

The sad part is that many people do not want to sue doctors even if they are responsible for their pain and suffering. Rest assured, we only take cases if we are sure they are really good cases and there really is malpractice. Call if you have any questions.

Regardless of how your son or daughter reacts to this you have the right to have this bullying stopped while your child is in school. We have handled cases like this and have received awards for our clients because the school personnel was aware that this was taking place yet nothing was done to stop it. If your child is the one who is being bullied report it immediately to the school and demand that something be done. And if this has been taking place and your child has been suffering, then call an experienced attorney to find out if you have a good case against the school

The pole which was holding up the volleyball net had a screw sticking out of the pole. The youngster jumped up to spike the ball onto the other side of the net and when he came down, his arm came into contact with the screw. The screw ripped off his skin, leaving him with a gaping hole in his arm. We sued the school for improper supervision and for having a dangerous instrumentality (a pole with the screw sticking out of it). We have already received offers to settle the case but are waiting for the school’s attorneys to offer more money.

Just remember. When you send your child to school, they should be supervised in the same manner that a parent would and if they are not and they are hurt then you may have a good case against the school.

We sued the manufacturer of the motorcycle jacket, Harley Davidson because the jacket did not reflect the headlights as it was supposed to. Harley Davidson denied they did anything wrong. Well, our expert disagreed. After performing numerous tests on the jacket, the expert found out that the materials that were supposed to reflect light did virtually nothing. The case against Harley was settled for hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Well, guess what. On that very day, one of the children attending the school was hit by a car and very seriously injured. The question which the court had to answer was whether the City of New York was responsible for not assigning another crossing guard or not. The City argued that it had no duty to supply any kind of guard at all. However, the highest court of the state said otherwise.

In other words if the City had never assigned a crossing guard, then they would not have had to assign one, but once they assigned one it was the obligation of the City to have a guard present at all times.

Rather than keep the gun under lock and key, the father had carelessly left the gun on the table which made it accessible to his son. Even though it was the son who did the shooting, the father was held responsible because he had left the gun in a place which made it easy to find the gun.

There have been several deaths which have been proven to have been caused by the crib’s falling side. Since the infant is too young to extricate himself, the youngster winds up choking to death.

If you have any cribs with sides that go up and down, you may return the crib to the manufacturer for a full refund. Just make sure that you do not allow your baby to use these cribs so that you can rest assured that nothing happens to him.

What happens if there is a bicycle rider who is riding and there is a pedestrian crossing the street? The same rules apply, the bicyclist must stop his bike and yield to the pedestrian. If the bicycle rider comes in contact with the pedestrian, the bike rider will be held responsible for any injuries which are sustained by the pedestrian.

The bottom line is that when you are riding a bike in the street you must obey the same traffic rules as cars with respect to pedestrians.
