Premises Liability Jury Finds for Defendant in Escalator Mishap Case Plaintiff, a 50 year-old woman and Nevada resident, attended a Tim Conway show on the second floor of Defendant hotel. After the show, 500 people exited by way of a narrow hallway. To assist patrons in their exit, Defendant reversed an up escalator to run as a down escalator. An elderly patron, who was not a party to the litigation, entered the crowded escalator and fell near the bottom. Plaintiff descended the escalator immediately behind the elderly patron and was pushed down in a domino effect when the elderly patron fell. Plaintiff allegedly sustained cervical and shoulder strains and sprains with residual pain. Plaintiff alleged Defendant failed to provide crowd control and failed to provide security personnel around the escalator. Plaintiff also alleged that Defendant failed to provide proper signs and warnings to prevent overcrowding and the use of walkers on the escalators.

Plaintiff Found Ninety Percent at Fault in Treadmill Injury Case and Recovers $368 A 57 year-old unemployed Nevada resident was using a treadmill in the fitness room of Defendant apartment complex, when she fell and was allegedly thrown to the wall. Plaintiff claimed that she sustained cervical, thoracic, and lumbar soft tissue injures requiring ongoing medical care. Plaintiff claimed that the treadmill had been negligently programmed to speed up unexpectedly. Additionally, Plaintiff claimed that no instructions were available for the treadmill, and that the treadmill was intended for home use, not for use in a fitness center. She further argued that Defendant placed the treadmill dangerously close to the wall. In support of her claim, Plaintiff called a biomechanical engineer, an orthopedic physician, and a psychologist to testify at trial. Defendant denied liability and called a psychologist to rebut the testimony of Plaintiff s witnesses. Plaintiff requested compensatory damages in excess of $10,000, medical expenses of $84,316, and future medical expenses of $188,500.

Restaurant Slip and Fall Case Ends With $5.5 Million Award Plaintiff, a 49 year old female Nevada resident, was walking to the restroom in Defendant s restaurant when she allegedly slipped and fell on olive oil in front of the kitchen entry. Plaintiff s fall resulted in a three-level internal lumbar disk disruption and a cervical disk herniation, both of which required surgical fusion. Plaintiff claimed that Defendant s restaurant was poorly designed and encouraged patrons to walk through the area directly in front of the kitchen entry. The area was congested with food-runners, waiters, and other staff crossing paths with patrons headed to the restroom. Additionally, Plaintiff argued that the olive oil was spilled by one of Defendant s employees, and that such a food spill was foreseeable. Plaintiff called a human factors expert who opined that the Defendant could have done many things to improve safety in the area, such as providing slip mats or warning signs. Defendant denied liability and argued there was no olive oil or other food substance on the floor, but that Plaintiff tripped over her own feet. Defendant called a biomechanical expert and a safety expert, who both opined that the area was safe and that Plaintiff s fall was most likely caused by her own tripping. To support her claim for damages, Plaintiff called a physiatrist, a pain management specialist, a vascular surgeon, and an orthopedic specialist to testify regarding the causes and extent of her injuries. Plaintiff also called a vocational rehabilitation specialist and an economist to testify regarding her economic losses.

Background: Glycopeptide antibiotics are considered by many investigators to be the last resort in the treatment of gram-positive bacterial infections. Objective: The aim of this review was to assess the place of glycopeptides in the treatment of common gram-positive bacteria in accordance with the current epidemiologic data in Turkey. Methods: A search of both the English- and Turkish-language literature indexed on MEDLINE, Ulakbim (Turkey), and Pleksus (Turkey) was performed using the terms: vancomycin, teicoplanin, and glycopeptides, or their Turkish-language counterparts. The complete texts of the articles found in these databases were obtained from the electronic library of Gulhane Medical Academy, Ankara, Turkey. Articles from regional journals, without the support of an electronic format, were obtained by direct communication. Articles of interest were those based on studies occurring in Turkish populations, with special consideration given to publications in press after 2002. Results: Staphylococci were the most frequent gram-positive pathogens encountered in Turkish hospitals. Studies have found that ?74% of strains were Staphylococcus aureus and the remaining strains were coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS). Overall methicillin resistance in staphylococci was reported as ?60%. In Turkey, S aureus was one of the most common infectious agents found inside hospitals and is deemed a growing threat in the community. While the rate of methicillin resistance in community-acquired isolates is ?4%, the data from hospitals suggest that reduced resistance comprises most of the isolates. In the studies reviewed, older quinolones like ciprofloxacin and ofloxacin seem to be ineffective in nearly half of the S aureus isolates. Alternatives like rifampicin, gentamicin, tetracycline, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (TMP/SMX), clindamycin, and erythromycin have had substantial resistance profiles in >50% of the strains. In recent Turkish studies, in vitro profiles of linezolid, quinupristin/dalfopristin (QD), and daptomycin have had positive results. As in the S aureus isolates, resistance trends have been observed in the CoNS group of pathogens. The possible use of ?-lactams seems restricted, and alternative approaches have become necessary. Quinolones, gentamicin, tetracycline, TMP/SMX, clindamycin, and erythromycin have resistance profiles of >50%. Although glycopeptide resistance was not detected, the frequency of heterogenous vancomycin-intermediate S aureus, a precursor to future resistance, was 13% in 1 study. Current studies in Turkey have found that Enterococcus faecalis comprises three quarters of enterococci while the rest are comprised of Enterococcus faecium. Initial studies performed with linezolid, QD, and daptomycin suggest that these drugs might be effective alternatives for future enterococcal infections that may have high glycopeptide resistance. Approximately 8% of the Streptococcus pneumoniae strains had high-level resistance in Turkey. However, 10 million units of crystallized penicillin or 3 g of oral amoxicillin maintains the optimum treatment of pneumococcal infections outside the central nervous system (CNS). Resistance profiles in third-generation cephalosporins in Turkey range between 2% and 2.5%. Conclusions: In Turkey, a review of the existing literature found that the current use of glycopeptides in pneumococcal infections is restricted to CNS infections facing therapeutic failure in due course. However, the belief that these drugs are the last resort, either in staphylococcal or enterococcal infections, is no longer valid. If a patient has a critical status due to probable gram-positive microorganisms, clinicians should consider the empiric use of glycopeptides. However, new molecules such as linezolid, QD, and daptomycin, offered for use in the treatment of gram-positive bacterial diseases, should be reserved for the future, when glycopeptides eventually become obsolete.

In virtually every medical malpractice case, the settlement in the case or jury award if the case goes to trial is�not�taxable as far as paying federal or state income tax is concerned. The federal tax code states that any compensation recovered for physical injuries is not considered income. This tax code includes compensation for lost wages, past and future medical bills, emotional distress, pain and suffering, attorney fees, and other related injuries and financial losses. The court's use of the word animus should be interpreted in context of the opinion as a whole. Earlier in the opinion, the court (1) referred to the January 2006 version of CACI No. 2540; (2) stated that the form instruction typically requires the plaintiff to prove the plaintiff's physical condition was a motivating reason for the refusal to hire; and (3) stated that the form jury instruction was modified to require the plaintiff to establish that the defendant's belief that plaintiff had a limiting condition was a motivating reason for the refusal to hire. (Gelfo, supra, 1404th at pp. 50-51.) These references to a motivating reason and the court's clear rejection of the idea that a plaintiff claiming disability discrimination must prove the employer harbored ill will against the plaintiff or a class of individuals with the same disability suggest the court used animus as the equivalent of motive and not animosity or ill will. Such a usage of animus is consistent with the second definition stated in Black's Law Dictionary�namely, intention. (Black's Law Dict., supra, at p. 103.) Therefore, under our interpretation of the Gelfo decision, its meaning would not change if either motive or intention were substituted for the court's two uses of animus. In the event of a fatality, the surviving family members of an accident victim may be able to bring wrongful death claims against the defendant. (see wrong death below).

Why do lawyers write "Privileged & Confidential" at the top of a legal hold notice? Most courts have decided that legal hold notices are immune from discovery, but not because of the header or title. Most family courts allow a preference for the parent who can demonstrated that he or she was the child's primary caretaker during the course of marriage, or assumed that role if the parents are unmarried. The primary caretaker factor became important as psychologists began to place importance of the bond between a child and his or her primary caretaker. This emotional bond can be important to the child as they pass through various stages of development.
