Khalil Saddler went to the Cleveland Clinic in 2003 as a newborn to have an abnormal vein at the base of his brain repaired. The vein was causing an excessive flow of blood to his heart. During the surgery the doctors used an instrument on Khalil which specified that it should only be used on adults. The surgeons did not have special permission from the parents to do this, even though according to Ohio law it was necessary.

The wrongful death complaint filed by Khalil’s mother states that the doctors were involved in a series of negligent acts including using a surgical device manufactured for adult-use. The use of this led to brain damage, multiple surgeries and his premature death in 2008. Also named in the complaint is that the surgeons not only used the wrong instrument, but they also used the wrong surgical technique and allowed glue from the device to drip into Khalil’s brain causing him to have a massive stroke and bleeding. This left him severely brain damaged.

If the surgeons had used the right instrument and the right technique, Khalil would still be alive and healthy today. Their negligence lead to the death of a little boy. If you have lost a loved one because of the negligence of doctors you need help.

A 2008 house fire took the life of the two residents of the home as well as the life of firefighter Scott Desmond who died of smoke inhalation. The fire could have been controlled had the firefighters gotten there much earlier. The problem with this is that when the security company went to notify the fire department they did so on a non-emergency line, which caused a considerable delay to the response of the fire.

As a result of the security company Contra Costa’s mistake and failure to follow the proper protocol, three people lost their lives. If you have lost a loved one on a similar manner you need help.

Two years ago the president and CEO of Tulare Chamber of Commerce was killed in a skydiving accident.

Jennifer McCoun was 40 years old and had recently taken up skydiving the previous summer. The lawsuit alleges that the Velcro on the parachute she used on her January 31, 2009 accident was too worn. Her parachute did open, but when it did it immediately began spinning and never opened up and she fell to the ground without a parachute.

Jennifer actually survived for three hours after the accident, but the skydiving company did not get her to the hospital until after she died. The company also never dialed any of her emergency contacts. It was not until her mother contacted the skydiving facility that they found out she had been in an accident.

Upon further investigation it was found that some of the parachute packers drink alcohol and smoke marijuana while on the job. Experts also say that the maintenance of the parachutes was very poor. The company had advertised that they had no previous accidents, but in fact two deaths had occurred at their facility and even after Ms. McCoun’s death they still claimed that there were no accidents.

The family of Jennifer McCoun has filed a lawsuit against the skydiving company and they are seeking damages for an unspecified amount.
