Settlement for a Client Whose Infant Suffered Irreversible Brain Damage Due to Medical Negligence
The mother brought the boy to his physician on several occasions regarding the problem, but it took almost a full year before the physician recommended that the boy have an MRI.
Our client in this case was a woman whose obstetrician/gynecologist had failed to diagnose her terminal ovarian cancer, despite having given her numerous pap smears.
A woman who had undergone a partial hysterectomy for fibroid tumors came to Malman Law for help after she had experienced a series of unfortunate medical events and a costly misdiagnosis.
Settlement awarded for a 43-year-old who was the victim of medical malpractice..
Commercial vehicles are typically large and difficult to maneuver, especially semi-rigs and 18-wheelers. The lack of maneuverability tends to increase the frequency of accidents, and the sheer mass of these vehicles tends to increase the severity of these accidents. No wonder special training is required before a driver is allowed to operate such vehicles.
Commercial drivers must be issued special commercial driver’s licenses, and they must comply with a host of state and federal regulations. Additionally, the trucking industry has its own safety rules that often go beyond the minimum requirements of state and federal law. Liability can arise when noncompliance with these standards cause an accident, even if no law was broken.
Strictly speaking, mere lack of driver training does not serve as the basis for a personal injury claim all by itself. An accident must have resulted, and the accident must have been caused by the driver’s lack of training. This usually involves the violation of a regulation, either by the driver or by some other party (a trucking company that overloaded the truck, for example).
Under Illinois law, the violation of a safety statute usually triggers a presumption of negligence if an accident occurs. This presumption will put the defendant in the nearly impossible position of having to prove that he was not negligent despite his violation of a regulation. Fortunately, our attorneys are quite familiar with trucking industry regulations from numerous prior cases.
