According to Hopkins Medicine, medical errors kill approximately 250,000 people in a given year. In fact, medical malpractice is the third leading cause of death in the United States, directly following cancer and heart disease. Medical malpractice is defined as any act or omission by a medical professional during the treatment of a patient that differs from accepted norms of practice in the medical community and causes an injury to the patient.

Studies show that there are approximately 14 Americans killed each day in work-related accidents. They also show that there are 300,000 non-fatal injuries each year in the industrial sector. The non-fatal injuries can include: spinal cord injuries, broken or crushed bones, crush injuries, burns, amputations, traumatic eye injuries, and degloving - sections of the skins are torn from the tissue beneath severing the blood supply.
If you work in an industrial occupation, such as utilities, construction, forestry, agriculture, oil and gas, mining, transport, asphalt manufacturing, etc. then the nature of your job inherently puts you at higher risk of injury while on the job. In these industries, they view certain accidents as inevitable based on the job duties, the number of employees, etc. However, these industrial injury accidents can be and should be prevented at all costs if possible.
Industrial injury cases are extremely complex and require the involvement of an attorney as soon as you are able to obtain one. You can learn more about industrial injury claims at https://bit.ly/2Z09i7R. If you or a loved one was involved in an industrial injury, contact The Cochran Firm today at 1-800-The-Firm or https://bit.ly/3g24Smk.

Three months after Ron Settles’ body was found, the coroner’s jury found that Mr. Settles had died at the hands of another. However, because of the police department’s conspiracy of silence, there was no one to hold accountable and any claim against the city of Signal Hill seemed hopeless. With the permission of Helen and Donnell Settles, Johnnie Cochran exhumed Ron’s body to have an independent autopsy performed. Mr. Cochran contacted Michael Baden, the country’s finest forensic pathologist, and Sidney Weinberg. The independent autopsy found that Ron’s windpipe had been crushed against his spine. Additionally, no traces of any drugs were found.
Mr. Cochran informed Ron’s parents saying, “I’m sorry it took so long, but we now know what happened to your son. They beat him, then they put him in a chokehold, and he died. We may not find a living witness, but because of your courage in letting us go ahead with this, Ron came back from the grave to tell us what happened to him. He could never have done that without you.” This is the final part of a five-part retelling of the Ron Settles case that Johnnie Cochran handled in the 1980s.

When it comes to employment disputes, it is important to know the difference between documented promises and implied promises. When you start a job, you may sign a contract that includes the name of your employer, a description of duties, pay information, benefits, and more. If you have this written contract or another document that promises you job security, you have a firm argument that you are not an at-will employee. If this is the case, you may be able to implement these promises in a court of law.

While many individuals who are fired from their job feel as though their termination was “wrongful,” especially if they were fired without cause, the legal definition of wrongful termination is very specific. To be “wrongfully terminated,” one must be fired for an illegal reason, which can include a violation of federal anti-discrimination laws or a breach of contract. Although most employment is “at will,” there are some exceptions to the at-will rule that could help keep you from getting fired or suing your former employer for wrongful termination. To learn more about wrongful termination, keep an eye out for our upcoming article “Examples of Wrongful Termination: Was Your Firing Against the Law?”. You can also read more about employment law claims at https://bit.ly/2ZUetGz.
