The parents of 5 year-old Christian Daley recently were awarded $30 million in a negligence suit against Perfect Place Christian Center in Birmingham, Alabama. According to the lawsuit, Daley was lying down when another child tripped over an uncovered chord, causing a shelf to fall on Daley’s head. The children were at that point entirely unsupervised, and after successfully defending against a motion for summary judgment, a jury trial was required to determine compensatory damages. Daley suffered severe head injuries and his treatment is ongoing. Daley is represented by attorneys David and Dylan Marsh of Marsh, Rickard and Bryan located in Birmingham, Alabama.

Electrocution Accident Results In Death Of Minnesota Resident.

Posted on July 19, 2018 by gil hoy

Nearly everything we use in our daily lives runs on power produced from electricity. Consequently, we are constantly exposed to machinery and technology that is capable of harnessing immense voltages of electricity. While these technologies certainly contribute to our quality of life, the exposure to electrical currents can be extremely dangerous, particularly when they have not been properly insulated. Accidents involving electrocution range from a small tingle in your hand, to severe injuries and even death. Because of the potential severity of such injuries, both we, as part of our everyday routine, and manufacturers of particular products that pose these risks, must stay aware and not put ourselves or others in situations of unnecessary risk. If an injury due to electrocution does occur, it may be wise to contact an expert electrocution attorney at 617-787-3700.

On Saturday, July 1, 2018, a Minnesota resident was pronounced dead after local authorities found him lying stiff next to a power line. Official reports have called it an “industrial accident,” but the police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the man’s death. What officials currently believe happened is that the man was trying to fix a power outage in his neighborhood when he came into contact with an exposed wire.

Tragic situations like these raise interesting questions of liability. To what extent should the city be liable for leaving an exposed wire, if indeed that is what happened? To what extent was the man careless in his efforts, insofar as he could have called an electric professional, or could have seen that the wire was exposed? These are generally questions for a judge or a jury, but they remind us all of the need to be careful, even when performing seemingly trivial tasks.

If you or a loved one has been injured as the result of an electrical accident, you may be entitled to monetary relief. Act now and contact one of our electrocution accident attorneys here at the Law Offices of Gilbert R. Hoy, Jr. and Affiliates to discuss your potential claim.

Influx Of Bed Bugs Signals Need For New Kind Of Legal Specialists.

Posted on July 19, 2018 by gil hoy

As we all know, there is a myriad of different contexts in which we can experience pain and suffering, which can be physical as well as emotional. From the new problems with technology brought on by an increasingly modern and complex society, to medical and environmental dangers that have been around for ages, there is no shortage of potential sources of injury. In such a situation, it would be wise to contact an expert personal injury attorney at 617-787-3700.

Because of all these potential sources of liability, lawyers must be equipped to handle a range of difference cases. According to Los Angeles-based attorney Brian Virag, the most recent string of cases that has forced him to adapt to a new kind of legal situation has involved bed bugs. At first, Mr. Virag was skeptical. But after seeing the number of cases he was receiving, as well as the legitimacy of the pain and suffering to his clients resulting from bed bugs, he decided to pursue these cases aggressively.

Mr. Virag has attracted potential clients for bed bug related claims by posting videos on Youtube. Over time, Mr. Virag has seen a great shift in a court’s willingness to accept these cases as legitimate, as well as a steady rise in verdicts and settlements he has been receiving on such cases. For example, in 2017, he received settlements ranging from $100,000 to $550,000.

According to experts, the pattern that we are seeing with bed bug cases is very much akin to mold-related cases in the past and the recent cases involving ride-share accidents. Eventually, this field will become overrun, but for now bed bug cases seem to resonate with judges and juries, as lawyers have been able to effectively communicate the extent of the pain and suffering experienced by the plaintiffs.

If you or a loved one has been injured as a result of a negligently maintained household or other facility, you may be entitled to monetary relief. Act now and contact one of our expert personal injury attorneys here at the Law Offices of Gilbert R. Hoy, Jr. and Affiliates to discuss your potential claim.
