Child Chokes to Death on Pushpin at School—Parents File Wrongful Death Lawsuit
January 6, 2012 - According to reports a wrongful death lawsuit has been filed by the parents of a child that choked to death on a pushpin at school.
According to Danny Howell a wrongful death lawsuit was filed on Thursday naming the North County Oceanside Montessori School in San Diego, in the choking death of 3 year old Tyler Howell.
The three year old was attending the school in October when he choked to death after swallowing a pushpin.
Danny Howell stated that the state discovered a variety of violations at the school, including allowing their son to use the bathroom alone. This is where three year old Tyler found the pushpin, according to family members. Another of the violations was allowing hazardous objects to be where a child could reach them, which is where the pushpin was located.
According to family attorney David Casey items like pushpins are required to be stored properly. Casey went on to state that objects that could cause death to a small child should not be around them.
Danny Howell stated that the violations are what led to the death of his son. The father stated that he, his wife and two and a half year old daughter are taking things one day at a time and that their daughter cries calling out Tyler’s name.
Howell said that he doesn’t know how something good can come from this tragedy, but if they can help other parents, sisters and brothers from going through this, their son’s death won’t be in vain.
Both attorney Casey and the Howell family are working on state legislation that would ban pushpins from both preschool and kindergarten classrooms. The Howell family said they would like to see warning labels on boxes of pushpins, to keep them out of the hands of small children.
Attorney Casey stated that the amount of damages in the pushpin wrongful death lawsuit would be left up to a jury to decide.

Breakthrough Treatment of Traumatic Brain Injuries Is Good
For many years there have been a countless number of medical specialists and scientists working on a continuous basis on a wide variety of research and study projects in hopes of discovering effective breakthrough treatment of traumatic brain injuries. This is because every single day there are more and more men, women, and children that unexpectedly fall victim to the wide range of symptoms that are associated with this tragic type of injury. Unfortunately at this time there is no type of pharmaceutical therapy available to these victims.
While automobile accidents are the most common types of accidents that often result in a traumatic brain injury, there are several other accidents that can result in a TBI as well. To list a few of these would include pedestrian accidents, motorcycle accidents, work-related accidents, and even slips and falls. The development of a drug therapy by a researcher of Emory University may very well be the first of its kind and an effective breakthrough treatment of traumatic brain injuries.
A national clinical trial is being led by Grady Memorial Hospital, which will test the beneficial advantages of a drug therapy using progesterone and its effectiveness. It is expected that this hormone will stop or at least lower many of the issues that often occur within the brain after a person has suffered from a traumatic brain injury.
Progesterone has already shown in laboratory studies to be crucial for the protection it provides to brain tissue that has been damaged, and it is also needed for neuron development.
In the beginning stages of trials, the use of progesterone drug therapy proved to decrease deaths that were related to traumatic brain injuries by as much as 50%. After only using the drug therapy for one full month, an improvement in sensory, cognitive, and motor skills was present. Another benefit of this breakthrough treatment of traumatic brain injuries is the disability factor also decreased in victims that suffered from moderate levels of TBI.
This is just one of many different studies and research projects that are currently underway. It is strongly hoped that in the near future they will be available to provide benefits to the many victims that suffer the life altering effects of this tragic type of injury.

Criminally Abused Elderly Benefit from Assistance from Injury Lawyers
With its ever-growing population of elderly residents, California also will experience a high number of criminal elderly abuse cases. The elderly, who are placed in homes or under the care of an individual caretaker, are vulnerable to many forms of abuse, neglect, and manipulation. Under the law, it is possible to charge the responsible person in a court of criminal law. However, each victim should also be given individual justice; this can take place with the assistance of a personal injury lawyer.
When an elderly person is abused, they may not be able to speak up for themselves. While the criminal court will take care of the person responsible for the harm, who will take care of the victim? Abuse and neglect take terrible tolls on the elderly person upon whom they were forced. Not only does the health of the elderly person suffer greatly immediately, but also their long term health will suffer. Illnesses increase, their overall resistance to illness decreases, and their life can be shortened dramatically all because of one person’s criminal actions. An injury lawyer will understand these tolls and can help the victim and their loved ones to help the elderly victim.
Additional medical care may be required after criminal neglect; an injury lawyer can help facilitate this care immediately as is necessary for the vulnerable elderly person. Testing may be necessary to prove, diagnose, and treat these criminal abuses and their effects. Again, the personal injury attorney will not only be able to facilitate that care, but advise the family with help of their medical experts to make sure that the elderly victim gets all the care they need to return to better health.
Sadly, the emotional tolls the elderly victims pay when they are harmed with criminal neglect cause an emotional and psychological strain that is tragic.
An injury attorney will understand that not all harms are physical, and can help the family to arrange and receive proper psychological therapy for their loved one.
If your loved one has possible been harmed by criminal negligence or abuse at the hands of another, a personal injury attorney in a California city near you, or near Los Angeles, San Francisco, or San Diego can help your elderly person not only get the justice but also the care that they deserve after their mistreatment.
