California Parents Sue Hospital & Win $750,000
Another medical malpractice victory for patients. Dennis and Kimberly Quaid sued and won a three-quarters of a million settlement against Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angelos. According to Austin's Injury Board, LA's Cedars-Sinai hospital allegedly administered too much heparin, a blood thinner, to the Quaid's twin babies in 2007. The parents sued the hospital for medical malpractice and won their case in Los Angelos' Superior Court. This proves a critical point for patients. Although doctors and medical professionals often do their best, professionals sometimes make dangerous, even fatal mistakes, resulting in personal injuries, medical malpractice suits, and wrongful death.

Thirteen Year-Old Boy Trips, Falls & Sues
As long as there are children, expect to see physical activity, sports injuries, and yes, injury lawsuits. We recently wrote about the Wisconsin high-school cheerleader who fell and injured her head during a practice drill. Now, we report to you the case of a thirteen year-old Californian who tripped over a volleyball net cord at a friend's house. After fracturing his elbow bone, Fabian Luna sued the homeowner for personal injuries and damages. The appellate court upheld Luna's claims and demanded that the homeowner pay for damages. Think sports injuries only happen to professionals? Think again. Personal sports injuries happen all the time, to young and older people alike, pros and amateurs. If you or a loved one get hurt playing sports or in any kind of slip and fall, get a top personal injury lawyer involved right away. They can help. Read full California story here.

Even if one survives a drowning incident, long-term damage to the brain and/or motor functioning may occur. One should get help and explore legal recourse.
