In a new study done by the Department of Health and Human Services showed that one out of every seven hospitalized Medicare patients were harmed because of mistakes made in treatment. Some of the treatment errors were things like excessive bleeding after surgery and UTI’s, but in some cases death occured.

The estimation is that about 15,000 deaths a month are in direct relation to the mistakes made by doctors and nurses and the number of deaths per year is estimated at about 180,000. The American Hospital Association says that this number must be reduced and that they are committed to lowering it.

Although hospitals have moved in improving their health care these mistakes still occur.

The widower of an 81 year old woman is suing Comcast, the telephone company.

Last Thanksgiving Sidell Reiner was making dinner while her husband went to the airport to pick their grandchildren. Mrs Reiner dropped a wine glass on her foot causing a severe cut. She called the operator, but the dispatchers could not find her address. She called back several times for help before crews arrived seventeen minutes later.

When the fire and rescue crews showed up to her house she had lost so much blood she was unable to answer the door. Since she did not answer the door the rescue crews left. They did not even look through the windows because if they had they would have seen Mrs. Reiner on the floor right in front of a large window pane.

When her husband, Seymour Reiner, got home he found his wife dead on the floor. She died from a severed artery in her foot. Along with Comcast MR. Reiner plans to sue the city of Boynton Beach, which is the district that Comcast transferred the call.

Our Toledo area wrongful death lawyers were saddened to hear of an accident that killed a worker at the site of the Edgerton High School expansion project on Wednesday.

The worker lost his life when a recently constructed wall blew over in high winds. The identity of the worker has not yet been released.

A burst of high wind blew a 10-foot-tall wall over in the morning hours. It was part of an addition to the high school that will create kindergarten through eighth grade classrooms.

The National Weather Service said the gust of wind was a “microburst,” not a tornado.

OSHA is currently investigating the accident.

Sharon Beebe, a 66-year-old patient at Mercy St. Vincent Medical Center, lost her life Sunday after she fell though a fourth-floor window in her room. Her fall appears to have been an accident.
