If you make it into adulthood without breaking a bone, you are lucky. Most people will break at least one bone at some point in their lives. If you are involved in a car accident, your chances of breaking a bone are even greater.

Various bones can get broken during car accidents, and all are painful and inconvenient while healing. You will have to wear a cast for weeks, take time off work for doctors’ appointments, and possibly even undergo painful physical therapy.

A breast cancer diagnosis is devastating on the patient and his or her family members. When you are diagnosed with this disease, you may think it could never happen to you. Now, imagine how you would feel if you later found out that you were misdiagnosed with a cancer that you did not have.

A commonly misdiagnosed form of breast cancer is Ductal Carcinoma in Situ (DCIS). More than 50,000 women are diagnosed with this disease each year. Not all of the women diagnosed need to be treated, but suffer through treatment anyway on the advice of their inexperienced pathologist.

The Consumer Attorneys of California believe that you should, and they have been working to protect your interest by sponsoring AB 2039 which is authored by Charles Calderon.

The attorneys at Bisnar Chase Personal Injury Attorneys strongly endorse this bill to revise the California law regarding service of process on people who have accidents in California and then go home, often to areas where service is almost impossible to achieve and is certainly expensive. Basically, this means that if you are in an accident with a non-resident who is driving a rental car, you might have great difficulty exercising your right to sue this person in addition to the rental agency and the insurance company. You may have been seriously injured, yet you cannot start a lawsuit against them. One of the requirements to start a lawsuit is to give notice to the defendant of the suit. If this service cannot be achieved, then the suit is delayed.

Medical exams such as CT scans are as common as blood tests these days and not very many people worry about the test itself giving them a medical problem. Unfortunately, this has been the case, when patients have actually lost their hair after this routine test. Apparently, the CT scanner was putting out much more radiation than was the correct amount for a simple test. At the Cedars-Sinai Hospital, patients received EIGHT times the usual radiation of a brain scan because the brain scanner had been reconfigured. The question that springs to mind here is why is there not some type of method for checking how much radiation the scanner is putting out?

Michael Williams, chief electrician aboard the Deepwater Horizon, testified Friday at a federal hearing that one of the vessel’s critical alarm systems had been purposefully disabled before the oil rig explosion. The general alarm system about the Deepwater Horizon should have sounded an alarm warning offshore workers to move away from danger. However, the automatic system had been intentionally switched off because Transocean felt it was inconvenient. Turning off the automatic alarm required that the alarm had to be triggered manually if needed. Mr. Williams claims he told her Transocean superiors of his concerns about disabling the alarm.
