A lawsuit has been filed after a pedestrian bridge collapsed in the Atlanta Botanicals Gardens killing one of the workers helping to build the bridge. The lawsuit is filed against the attraction and several contruction companies and states that the companies failed to protect the workers.

Angel Chupin worked for a subcontractor that poured concrete foundations. The incident happened when they were working on a pedestrain bridge about 40 feet above ground when the path crumbled. Workers fell to the ground from a few dozen feet up. In total 18 workers were injured because of this and 1 was killed. The probable cause of the incident was that two support towers were placed too far away from each other. Osha fined the compaines for other safety violations as well.

These companies have a responsibility to keep the job site and their workers safe. When this does not happen people get hurt and even killed. If this happens a lawsuit should be filed.

Doctors are making a more careful attempt at keeping track of patient diagnosis by using things like electronic alerts and reminders to order tests, and to follow up with lab reports. This is because of the large amount of malpractice cases involving doctors’ mistakes. Things have fallen through the cracks, doctors have failed to communicate with one another and diagnosis have been missed.

About 40% of malpractice suits include diagnostic error and it is estimated that about 40,000 to 80,000 hospitalized patients are killed each year because of these errors.

Studies show that these cases do not usually have just one cause, but that it is a breakdown that builds up and leads to either a late diagnosis or a missed diagnosis. The most commonly missed or delayed diagnosis is breast cancer. There was a case that occured last year where a woman came to the doctor claiming that she had a lump in her breast. The doctor examined her and told her that it was just a cyst. The lump got worse and began to bleed. Finally, a biopsy was done and found that it was in fact cancer. The woman ended up dying from this and her family is suing for total costs of $2.9 million.

Doctors need to take better care. Patients should not have to suffer from the doctors mistakes.
