Dr. Michael Hess of Louisville Kentucky had his license to practice medicine suspended by the Kntucky Board of Medical Licensure. This news comes just days after similar allegations against Louisville doctor Jack Allen surfaced. (As mentioned in an earlier post on this blog, my office has been retained to represent a few of Dr. Allen's victims in their potential claims.)

Dr. Hess's lawyers at Whonsetler & Johnson, who incidentally also represent Dr. Allen, told the Courier-Journal that they were going to "pursue all legal avenues at our disposal to restore Dr. Hess' good name."

A final ruling from the Kentucky Board of Medical Licensure on Dr. Hess' license to practice may not come for months.

Dr. Jack Allen, a Louisville family care doctor, was recently placed on probation by the Kentucky Board of Medical Licensure after multiple women came forward accusing him of sexually assaulting or sexual abusing them during office visits. Dr. Allen made inappropriate comments to female patients during office visits and pap smears and inappropriately touched women's breasts and bodies, according to a report on WHAS-11 TV.

Dr. Allen was also accused by patients of prescribing painkillers to women, getting them addicted to narcotics and painkillers and then forcing women to allow Dr. Allen to touch them in exchange for more prescriptions.

If you want to contact a Louisville Kentucky Medical Malpractice Attorney, feel free to contact me. I have been retained by one of Dr. Allen's victims and am interested in talking to other victims or lawyers familiar with this horrific situation. Please feel free to contact me directly at 587-8423 or email me steve@kytriallaw.com

A Louisville woman who says she was the victim of police brutality has been awarded more than $1 million by a Kentucky jury. Maria DeCamillis Raque filed a Kentucky personal injury lawsuit against Strathmoor Village and former police officer James Wilder because she says that Wilder attacked her and filed charges against her for crimes she did not commit.

The incident occurred in October 2003 when a neighbor contacted police complaining about DeCamillis Raque’s son and friends, who she says were playing hide and seek. DeCamillis Raque says that when she told her son’s friends to go home, Wilder grabbed her neck and dragged her into his squad car before smashing her head against the vehicle’s divider and spraying her on the face with pepper spray.

DeCamillis Raque says the beating took place in front of her children. Wilder then charged her with committing felony crimes, including assaulting a police officer, that could have led to her spending 15 years in prison if she had been convicted. DeCamillis Raque says that Strathmoor Village said it would drop the charges against her if she agreed not to file a police brutality lawsuit. During her criminal trial in 2004, it took a Jefferson County jury four minutes to acquit her of all charges.

Apparently, Wilder had been cited in the past for insubordination, using excessive violence against citizens, and getting into altercations with coworkers. He has also been sued in the past for using excessive force. DeCamillis Raque’s attorney says that Strathmoor Village failed to do a proper background check before hiring Wilder and gave him a gun and badge following a 15-minute interview in a parking lot.

Police Brutality
Police officers, FBI agents, and other law enforcement officers are not allowed to use excessive physical or verbal force when dealing with citizens, including suspects, defendants, and persons convicted of crimes. If you are a victim of police brutality, you may be entitled to receive personal injury compensation for the harm that you have suffered.

Examples of Police Brutality:

• Verbal abuse
• Physical assault
• False arrest
• Sexual assault
• Intimidation and threats

In Fayette Circuit Court, the mother of Kiah Milsom, the 14-year-old girl who died of a severe anoxic brain injury after drowning in the pool of a condominium complex in Lexington, Kentucky, is suing Aintree Condominiums Inc. for wrongful death.

Kiah and her friends had trespassed onto the condo complex property on July 20, and they were swimming in the pool at around 4am when her arm got sucked into the pool’s drain. Kiah reportedly was underwater for about 20 minutes until emergency workers, who were summoned, were able to free her. She sustained a traumatic brain injury from the accident and died several days later at the University of Kentucky Hospital.

In her lawsuit, Kiah’s mother Lisa Ann Scott accuses the condo complex owners of negligence and states that they either knew or should have known that the pool drain pump was dangerous. By law, a pool drain is supposed to have a properly secured cover, and the lawsuit contends that the pool’s drain cover was missing.

Premises Liability
Property owners are supposed to make sure that there are no unsafe conditions on a premise that could lead to serious injuries or death. Failure to fulfill this duty of care can be grounds for a Kentucky premises liability lawsuit if someone is injured or dies.

Dangerous Pool Drains
Pool drains have been known to cause serious injury or death if they are not properly covered and secured. Over the past three decades, there have been reports of a number of incidents where children, in particular, have gotten stuck in a pool drain and have been unable to release themselves. Serious injuries have included intestines being pulled from the trapped person’s body, near drownings, traumatic brain injuries, and deaths. It is important that you speak with Kentucky personal injury lawyer to determine whether you have grounds to file a claim against any negligent parties.

On US 27 close to the Jessamine-Garrard County Line, motorcyclist David Ballard died on Monday morning after being struck by a car. Kentucky State Police say that Danville resident Rita Pradhan, 24, lost control of her vehicle before striking the oncoming motorcyclist. Her car then spun around before striking the vehicle following her.

Ballard, a 52-year-old Danville resident, was declared dead at the accident scene. Prior to his death, there were 57 reported motorcycle fatalities in Kentucky so far this year.

Motorcyclists are prone to serious injuries whenever they are involved in traffic collisions. Even when a motorcyclist does wear a helmet and protective clothing, he or she does not have a great deal of protection to act as a buffer from the impact of colliding with a car, bus, or 18-wheeler truck.

Many motorcycle accidents can result in catastrophic if not fatal injuries that may include road burn injuries, broken bones, severed limbs, spinal cord injuries, and traumatic brain injuries. The medical and recovery costs can be very expensive.

Unfortunately, many people attribute motorcycle accidents to the “recklessness” of the motorcyclist. It is important, if you are a motorcyclist who was injured in a traffic accident caused by another driver’s negligence in Kentucky, that you speak with an experienced Louisville motorcycle crash law firm that can inform you of your legal rights and advocate for your right to financial recovery.

According to the “Hurt” Report:

• About 75% of motorcycle collisions involve another motor vehicle.
• 2/3rds of all motorcycle accidents involving multiple vehicles resulted in a driver violating the motorcyclist’s right of way.
• Defective roadways is the cause of about 2% of all motorcycle crashes.

An appeals court has upheld the $16 million bad faith judgment against Allstate Insurance Co. for the insurer’s failure to settle a claim for the $50,000 limit on an auto insurance policy. Virginia and Edward Johnson filed an auto accident claim against Allstate after they were seriously injured in a motor vehicle crash caused by Wayne Davis Jr., an Allstate policyholder, in March 2000. Edward spent 35 days in the hospital for his injuries, while Virginia stayed for 40 days. Their medical expenses for their hospital stay cost $320,000.

Although they initially agreed to settle for Davis's $50,000 policy limit with Allstate, the insurance company took 6-months to respond to their claim and by then the 60-day statutes of limitations for accepting the insurance claim had passed. When they were unable to reach a car crash settlement with Allstate, they sued Davis for personal injury.

Davis and the Johnsons reached a settlement agreement. As part of settlement, the couple agreed not to collect the $5 million judgment against Davis in return for giving the Johnson’s 90% of his bad faith insurance claim against Allstate for their refusal to settle his case with them.

Together, the Johnsons and Davis sued Allstate not only for its bad faith refusal to settle but also for equitable garnishment. Allstate had disputed whether the Johnson’s injuries were a result of the accident with Davis.

The Missouri Court of Appeals's decision upholds the verdict that a jury had awarded to them in 2006: $5.8 million in compensatory damages and $10.5 million in punitive damages.

Bad Faith Claims
Unfortunately, insurance companies have been known to wrongfully refuse to pay claims that they should cover. This goes against Kentucky law, which mandates that insurers exercise good faith when dealing with policyholders or others filing claims.

If you were injured in an auto accident an your insurance company or the insurer of the liable party’s insurance company wrongfully denied your claim, you may be entitled to damages from the insurance company for their bad faith practices. A Louisville personal injury lawyer with experience in dealing with both injury cases and bad faith claims can help you.

According to preliminary statistics, 16 people died in 12 motor vehicle accidents in the Kentucky Counties of Breckinridge, Henry, Calloway, Hopkins, Leslie, Jefferson, Marshall, and Logan from July 21 to 27, 2008. 11 of the deaths involved motor vehicles, 2 of the fatalities were child pedestrians, and 3 of the deaths involved motorcycles. The death toll for that week increased the number of total motor vehicle deaths on Kentucky roads this year to 422 fatalities (327 car crash victims, 47 motorcyclists, 35 pedestrians, and 11 ATV victims), with more traffic-related deaths and injuries happening since then.

If you or someone you love was seriously injured in a car crash, a motorcycle accident, a truck accident, a bus collision, a pedestrian accident, or a bicycle crash, it is important that you speak with an experienced Kentucky motor vehicle crash lawyer before trying to negotiate a settlement agreement with the liable party’s insurance company. An experienced Louisville car crash law firm will know how to investigate your case to determine causation and liability. Your motor vehicle crash lawyer can work with experienced accident reconstructionists who can examine the crash scene and investigate all evidence.

Another reason it is important that you do not try to settle an injury case on your own is that you or your loved one may not be able to determine the extent (and costs) of the medical and recovery care you may require. A good Kentucky motor vehicle crash lawyer can work with medical experts who can help you get a better sense of all medical and recovery expenses, and assess other damages, such as pain and suffering, reduced income potential, lost wages, and disability, that you may be entitled to receive.

Depending on the specifics surrounding your Kentucky auto crash, the statute of limitations for filing your personal injury lawsuit may be one or two years, which is another reason that it is important to speak with an experienced Louisville car crash lawyer.

Our Kentucky personal injury law firm helps clients with injury claims involving truck crashes, car collisions, motorcycle accidents, hit and run accidents, drunk driving collisions, automobile rollovers, motor vehicle crashes caused by defective autos or auto parts, and crashes involving insured and uninsured drivers.

In Jefferson Circuit Court, Judge Barry Willet has ruled that the two girls that were sitting with Kaitlyn Lassiter, the then 13-year-old girl whose feet were severed while riding the Superman Tower of Power ride at Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom last year, can join in the Lassiter family’s personal injury lawsuit against the amusement park.

Arin Valsted and Blair Johnson are friends of Kaitlyn, and they were sitting next to her when the accident happened on June 21, 2007. They sustained bruises and cuts during the incident and continue to seek counseling. The two girls are seeking damages for medical costs, pain, and emotional trauma.

While the judge is allowing Arin and Blair to join the lawsuit, their parents, who had wanted to sue the Six Flags park for emotional trauma and travel costs incurred while helping their children recover from their injuries, cannot join the suit.

The Lassiter family filed an amusement park accident lawsuit against the Louisville park after a cable that snapped on the ride severed Kaitlyn’s feet. Their lawsuit contends that Six Flags could have prevented the serious injury accident if they had properly maintained the ride. The ride is no longer in operation and state officials are citing a faulty cable and the amusement park operators slow response during the incident as causes of Kaitlyn's serious injuries. A personal injury trial is scheduled to begin in January.

While thrill rides at amusement parks can be a great source of enjoyment for children, they can also lead to serious, even fatal injuries, if a ride malfunctions or a ride operator makes a mistake.

Injuries to Minors
In Kentucky, an injured minor cannot file a personal injury lawsuit without the assistance of a parent, a guardian, or another adult.

A good personal injury lawyer can determine whether your child was injured because a driver, a doctor, a product manufacturer, an amusement park, the owner or a business or residence, or another party was negligent.

In Kentucky, Keneille Finch, the Louisville driver apprehended in connection with last week’s hit-and-run deaths of 4-year-old Riley Jane Lawrence and 5-year-old Claudia Faye Wadlington has been charged with their murders, in addition to fleeing and evading police and aggravated assault.

The pedestrian accident occurred in Louisville when the two girls were crossing a street and Finch allegedly ran a red light. Angie Wadlington, the mother of Claudia, was with the girls when the accident happened. She was also struck by the vehicle during the hit and run accident and sustained injuries to her left leg and broke one of her arms. This is not Finch’s first brush with the law. He has been arrested several times and served time in prison before.

Pedestrian Deaths
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, there were 4,874 pedestrian deaths in 2006. That same year, there were 67,537 motor vehicle accidents involving pedestrians.

Pedestrians are prone to serious injuries, including broken bones, spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, and severed limbs, or death when they are involved in a traffic crash with a car, truck, motorcycle, or bus. If you were seriously injured or someone you loved died while crossing the street, riding a bicycle, or waiting at a bus stop in Kentucky because of the negligence or reckless actions of a driver or another party, an experienced Louisville pedestrian injury lawyer can help you.

Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents

• Driver inattention
• Drunk driving
• Speeding
• Failure to stop at a red light or stop sign
• Motor vehicle defects
• Hit and run accidents

Our Kentucky motor vehicle crash law firm has helped many pedestrians and their families obtain the financial recovery they are owed for the harm they have suffered.

Congressional leaders in Washington DC berated federal regulators today for not implementing recommendations that the National Transportation Safety Board made in 2001 to keep medically unfit truckers off the roads. According to a recent safety study, reported on by the Associated Press, there are hundreds of thousands of commercial truck and bus drivers working even though they qualify for full federal disability payments.

Commercial drivers that have seizures, blackouts, heart attacks, and other health emergencies while driving are a leading cause of catastrophic truck accidents in the United States. Thousands of motorists and pedestrians have been injured or killed because a bus driver or the driver of an 18-wheeler truck, a tractor-trailer, a semi-truck, or a big rig truck became ill or unconscious while driving.

Among its recommendations, the NTSB suggested that a system be set up to trace medical certificate applications and stop drivers from doctor shopping. The NTSB also suggested that examiners who certify commercial drivers be properly trained to determine whether a trucker or bus driver was medically fit.

The House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee has found that it is not difficult to fabricate medical certificates stating that a driver is medically fit to drive professionally. Of the 614 medical certificates it examined, the committee found that they could verify only 407 of them.

Truck accidents can lead to catastrophic injury accidents for victims. The force of impact of a large truck or bus striking a pedestrian or the passengers of a compact car can lead to serious injuries, such as severed limbs, spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, and massive internal injuries, or death for the victims.

Trucking companies are experienced in dealing with injury claims against them, which is why it is important that you speak with an experienced Louisville, Kentucky truck crash law firm to explore your legal options.

In Kentucky, Moses Young, the Ex-Assistant Director of Nursing Home Regulation at the State Inspector General’s Office, was reportedly fired following allegations that he had an improper relationship with the owner of the Garrard Convalescent Home in Northern Kentucky.

Among the allegations, Young is accused of living—possibly rent-free—in a house owned by Ralph Stacey, Jr., the operator/owner of the nursing home. The State Attorney General and the FBI are currently conducting a criminal investigation to determine whether criminal charges need to be filed against Young.

The Garrard Convalescent Home has come under fire following 23 complaints in the last 4 years accusing the care residence of nursing home neglect, abuse, and problems with bedbugs. Records show that state investigators looked into the complaints and the home was cleared of any wrongdoing.

Now, however, there is concern that Young’s relationship with Stacey may have compromised the investigations, as well as the safety and care of the residents residing at the home.

Kentucky’s Inspector General fired Young in May for possible conflicts of interest and using his position with the state for financial profit. While an investigation confirmed that Young had been residing in a home that belonged to Stacey in Griffin Gate, a gated subdivision in Lexington, the former regulator reportedly could not provide evidence documenting that he has paid Stacey rent.

Documentation also showed that Young called Stacey 427 times over an 18-month period using a state government cellular phone—usually on days when investigators were about to conduct surprise inspections following the complaints.

Since the probe into Young’s relationship with Stacey, the nursing home has been given a Type A citation for jeopardizing the safety of residents. Kentucky is recommending that the Garrard Nursing Home be slapped with a $500,000 fine.

Last week, Young appealed the decision terminating him from the post. He has denied all allegations.

The Kentucky Board of Medical Licensure has suspended the medical license of Dr. Hamid Sheikh, a Lexington gynecologist, amid allegations that he engaged in improper medical practices.

One investigator for the Attorney General’s office said that when she went to Sheikh's Lexington office, she discovered unsanitary conditions, expired medications, and inoperable or missing equipment.

Last year, in Franklin Circuit Court, Sheikh was indicted on four counts of defrauding Medicaid, including allegedly presenting abortions as ultrasounds, submitting bogus billing statements, and illegally charging Medicaid patients. An investigator reported a nurse’s findings that the standard of care that Sheikh provided was “dramatically out of compliance.” Another Medicaid agent said that seven patients had complained of their care, including “a lack of medication.” One patient reported that Sheikh did not ask about her medical history and that the pain during her procedure was extremely severe.

Sheikh, who has performed abortions at his office in Lexington since 1975, says that his arrest was politically motivated.

Medical Malpractice
Doctors in Kentucky are obligated to provide patients with a certain standard of care. When failure to provide that standard or errors in care result in injury or death, the patient or his or her family may be entitled to file a Kentucky medical malpractice claim or wrongful death lawsuit.

Examples of Obstetrics and Gynecology Malpractice:

• Botched hysterectomies
• Birthing errors
• Failure to detect cancer or another disease/medical condition
• Surgical errors
• Abortion malpractice
• Testing errors involving pap smears, ultrasounds, etc.
• Birth control-related errors
• Inappropriate medical exams

Following an 18-month investigation into the way the nation’s largest auto insurance companies handle claims involving minor motor vehicle accidents, CNN last year reported that there is a good possibility that the two largest insurers—State Farm and Allstate—will challenge any minor medical claim and offer to pay only a small fraction of all accident costs.

The news network says that the confidential documents it examined revealed that these actions are motivated by profits—papers that the companies are determined to keep private. The insurers reportedly execute this strategy by dragging victims of minor car collisions into court for cases lasting years in the name of supposedly fighting fraud.

When given the opportunity to respond to the allegations, both companies refused to engage in a discussion. State Farm said it addressed each claim on its own merits and that generalizations that it had adopted consultant recommendations like other insurance companies was inaccurate. The consultant the insurer was referring to, McKinsey & Co., works for both State Farm and Allstate.

One former Allstate claims agent, Shannon Kmatz, says that the company trained her to treat minor accident cases as fraudulent and to offer victims as little as possible. She says she has offered injury victims of minor accidents payments as low as $50.

Former insurance company insider Jim Mathis says the insurers’ strategy involves three D’s: delaying, denying, and defending the claim. The end profits for insurers that limit accident payments have reportedly been huge.

One victim involved in a rear-end accident, Ann Taylor, says that State Farm only offered her $2,000, even though her medical and recovery costs and lost wages related to her herniated disc muscle tears ended up costing $15,000.

Another injury victim initially offered $15,000 by Allstate spent years fighting her case in court until a jury awarded her $167,000 plus interest. According to industry insiders, however, 80-90% of accident victims do not contest what insurance companies offer them.

In Kentucky, our Louisville personal injury law firm helps clients file bad faith claims against insurers that refuse to pay accident claims or make unreasonably low offers to injury victims.

AAJ Report: Ten Worst Insurance Companies in America, July 9, 2008 (PDF)

In Kentucky, Alison Cox Pregliaso, a Louisville mother, is suing Crocs Inc, for her 3-year-old daughter’s personal injuries. Pregliaso’s daughter sustained permanent injuries last month when her foot got caught in an escalator at Hartsfield-International Airport in Atlanta, Georgia. Her daughter was wearing Crocs footwear.

Not only did the shoe get shredded, but Pregliaso says that her daughter’s big toe broke and its skin was ripped off. Pregliaso is suing the company for $4 million in punitive damages.

According to the personal injury lawsuit, filed in Kentucky in federal court, Pregliaso is accusing the manufacturer of trying to blame the children or parents for her Crocs-related injuries. This is not the first time a child has been injured while wearing Crocs. In February, the parents of a 3-year-old injured at John F. Kennedy Airport in New York sued Crocs for $7 million. In another Crocs-related injury accident last September, a 4-year-old Croc wearer got hurt when his foot got caught in a mall escalator.

Earlier this year, the Consumer Product Safety Commission found that there have been at least 77 escalator entrapment incidents since January 2006 involving soft-sided flexible slides and clogs. Although the report did not name Crocs directly, the CPSC said that the shoe line is part of this category of shoes.

In Japan, the Trade Ministry asked the Crocs manufacturer to change its design following 65 complaints of escalator accidents over a six-month period involving mostly children using Crocs and fake Crocs.

If you or your child were seriously injured because of a defective product, it is important that you speak with an experienced Louisville, Kentucky products liability law firm that can help you evaluate your case during your free consultation. A good defective products lawyer can assess whether a defect occurred during the design, manufacture, or marketing process. The responsible party can also be held strictly liable for the injury accident even if they didn’t do anything negligent but the product still proved dangerous for use.

My partner Vanessa Cantley filed three separate bullying lawsuits on behalf of children today. In what has become a troubling pattern here in Kentucky, despite being made aware of repeated episodes of abuse, teachers and school administrators did nothing to stop the abuse.

The lawsuits were filed in three separate counties: Meade, Floyd and Oldham. These cases involve more than pushing or name calling. One Freshman at South Oldham was repeatedly assaulted by teammates on his wrestling team. The kids broke his nose, and several times choked him until he passed out. Once he regained consciousness, they would choke him again.

The families were interviewed today by WAVE3's Connie Leonard and featured on the local news cast. Read about it here.
