According to a report by the Institute of Medicine, medical errors and negligence are responsible for at least 44,000 deaths each year in the United States and possibly as many as 98,000 each year. Sadly, cervical cancer makes up a large number of these deaths. If a woman develops cervical cancer–even though Pap Smears were being performed on a regular basis at the suggestion of a physician, negligence may be the cause. Doctors and hospitals must properly perform and interpret Pap Smears and appropriately treat patients once the conclusion of cancer or cancer-like conditions has been made.

If you have suffered serious personal injury due to cervical cancer, it is crucial to obtain capable and knowledgeable legal representation as quickly as possible.

More and more people each day are experiencing the pain of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. This is a common form of repetitive stress injury which commonly occurs when a person’s wrists are exposed to repetitive strain on a regular basis. Carpal tunnel syndrome can lead to impaired or lost nerve function, reduced muscle control and reduced grip strength.

Millions of car wrecks damage vehicles, property, and lives each year.

If the accident is minor, the parties can exchange insurance information, file a police report, and get on with their lives. But in a serious accident where personal injury occurs, loss of mobility, loss of income, medical expenses, rehabilitation, and mental suffering can follow.

Victims are entitled to money to cover their losses. But they’re also possibly entitled to compensatory damages and, in extreme cases, punitive damages if the accident was caused by someone else’s recklessness.

Insurance companies want you to settle your case as soon as possible, but you may not be finished with medical care and rehabilitation. If you retain a lawyer after the car accident, you’ll receive all the medical attention you need and won’t have to pay your medical bills until the case is settled.

You may also be entitled to lost wages from the defendant’s insurance company due to your car wreck injuries. Your employer or human resources department must document your lost wages, and a doctor must be able to state that you couldn’t work as a result of the accident.

If you, a family member, or friend are involved in a car wreck, be sure to contact a qualified personal injury lawyer at Ted Machi & Associates, P.C.

American workers are electrocuted on the job and experiencing work-related fatalities by increasing numbers, according to the Burn Survivor Resource Center. Contact with overhead power lines accounts for about two-fifths of fatal electrocutions.

Chemical burns occur when the skin is in contact with strong acids or alkalids. The chemical will continue to “eat” away the skin and its deeper layers until it’s washed away. Common chemicals found both in the home and at the workplace include bleach, boric acid, paint thinner, and plumbing decloggers.

Building fires kill more Americans than all natural disasters combined, with smoke as the most significant cause of death, injury, and property loss in these fires. America has a spotted past regarding workplace fires, the most notorious being the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire in New York City. Almost 150 women and young girls died in 1911 because of locked fire exits and poor fire extinguishing systems.

Thermal burns are the most common type of burn. They result from contact with steam, flames, flash, and hot surfaces or hot liquids with a temperature above 115 degrees F. If you’ve been burned by boiling water, you’ve been burned with a substance that’s 212 degrees F. or more.

In fact, scald injury accounts for two-thirds of all visits to hospital emergency rooms and more than one-third of all admissions to burn centers, according to the New York State Department of Heath. Overly hot water is especially harmful for young children because their skin is thinner than adults’.

While many burns occur in the home, victims are commonly burned in the workplace as well. Asphalt tar burns, for example, can be sustained by roofers, road repair workers, and construction workers. The hands are the most common workplace burn injury.

Many workers are at constant risk for burns and electrocutions, such as welders and flame-cutters, electricians, chemical technicians, oil refinery workers, aircraft mechanics, telephone installers, industrial plant workers, painters, railroad workers, boilermakers, and many others in at-risk industries.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires companies to comply with fire safety standards and make avoiding burns and electrocutions as easy as possible for their workers.

If you’ve suffered burns in the workplace or elsewhere, you could be entitled to compensation. Set an appointment today and let Ted Machi & Associates evaluate your claim.
