Injuries While Traveling Can Turn Into Legal Hassles

Monday, February 6th, 2012

Our skies are as safe as they have ever been. This is a fact. But, it doesn’t mean that injuries or even deaths don’t occur while Americans are traveling for pleasure and for work. Tragically, they do. Every single day. Its important that the people and corporations that are responsible for these injuries pay for what they have done.

Even minor scrapes, bruises – or worse! - can linger and after the trip turn into a more chronic and costly injury. It’s important for every traveler to know that they have rights and if/when they are negligently injured by an airline or airport that they may be entitled to financial compensation for their injuries. Tragically, American travelers die and in some cases the deaths could have been avoided and are what the legal profession calls “wrongful deaths”.

If you, a loved one or a co-worker has suffered an injury of any kind while traveling it is a good idea to know your legal rights. Why? Because is the injury was caused by the negligence of an airline, an airport owner or any individual employed by a company that facilitated the travel, the injured party may be entitled to financial relief/compensation for the injuries suffered.

Aviation accidents include most any injury, illness or death that is the result of a negligent, careless or willful act of an employee, representative, machine or corporation. Even if you “think” and do not “know” if you have bee injured or not, even if you just suspect negligence and are not sure, it may be a smart idea to take a few moments and find out what your legal rights are. Personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits are complicated legal undertaking and require experienced personal injury law firms to handle your case. Make sure that you seek out skilled personal injury lawyers that have a proven track record representing injured parties.

Injuries can literally happen anywhere at anytime:

Have you been injured in an airport terminal?

Injured while getting on or off of a plane?

Did an airline employee injure you?

Did a broken piece of equipment injure you?

Did you slip and fall anywhere in an airport or aboard a plane?

Did dangerous plane movement injure you?

If you answered yes to any of the questions above, there is one more simple, straight forward question for you to answer: do you suspect that the negligence, careless or willful act of another caused you or your loved one’s injury? If that answer is yes you should be fully aware of your legal rights and the absolute best way to do that is to speak to a personal injury attorney that has experience in aviation liability lawsuits.

A Pedophile could get 45 Years

Monday, June 1st, 2009

On Friday, a self-confessed pedophile, Jeffrey Brisson, could be sentenced to a 45-year jail time. A prosecutor told the court officials that this sentence would protect three generations of children.

Paul Rotiroti, Senior Assistant State’s Attorney told the public, “This is the most horrifying, disgusting, and alarming case I’ve ever seen or handled in court. We need to keep this man separated from society.”

The 30-year-old Brisson was arrested on January 30, 2008 together with 40-year-old Harold Spurling, his roommate. The officers served warrants for a teenage boy’s longtime molestation but when they found the pair in their apartment, Brisson was sexually assaulting a 3-month-old girl.

Succeeding searches of their computer revealed state history’s largest child pornography investigations. They recovered numerous videos of children being molested for several years. Sex acts on children with ages varying from 3-month old babies to 2 years were seen. In fact, police said there was a 14-year-old who has been victimized for eight years.

The mother of the baby (3-month old) was also arrested because she risked injury on the child for leaving her in a filthy apartment. The woman said that she allowed it because the men offered “free babysitting.”

Brisson’s attorney public defender, Kenneth Simon, argued that, “There was actually no physical force. It’s not a physical injury, more of a mental one. Sure, the videos may be disturbing but I saw that the baby was just smiling.” Although Simon did not agree to the facts on the charges, he conceded that Brisson would likely be convicted during trial.

28-year old Woman Convicted of Child Injury

Friday, May 8th, 2009

Gloria Ramirez, a mother of nine and eight months pregnant, was charged with child injury and endangerment after police officers found a dead fetus in her filthy home’s refrigerator. As a result, she was sentenced to prison for 10 years.

In 2007, when Anthony Moya, Ramirez’s common-in-law husband called a funeral home and inquired about a casket made for a stillborn infant, the police came to the couple’s home. They found the fetus in a refrigerator placed inside a baby wipe box.

Afterwards, investigators also found dirty diapers in their closets stacked 4 feet high, overflowing trash bins, and decaying food around the house. Most of the children also slept in soiled mattresses.

According to testimony, Ramirez blamed the children for her miscarriage, telling them that they disturb her in her sleep. Also, one of the children testified that she threatened their lives if they will tell anyone regarding the conditions in their home.

Prosecutor Jennifer Bassett said that the couple was abusing their children by letting them sleep and live in a filthy, rat- and roach-infested home. Because of the children, Ramirez and Moya were collecting $1,000 monthly in food stamps but they’re feeding them only one meal a day. As a result, Moya was also arrested on endangerment charges.

On the other side, defense attorney Ted Hogan expressed disappointment in the sentence. He said “This is tragic. Sending Ramirez to jail will not benefit her or her children.”

Jurors convicted Ramirez following only 32 minutes of deliberation.
