Cellino Law: Proven Results In Injury Cases For 20+ Years

According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), defects can occur in the design, manufacture, or marketing of medical devices. For example, a device may be poorly designed from the outset, contain flaws introduced during manufacturing, or come with misleading instructions or warnings. These failures can result in serious harm, creating grounds for legal action.

Patients harmed by defective devices often seek recourse through mass tort lawsuits. These cases allow multiple individuals injured by the same device to pursue compensation collectively. If you’re facing such a situation in New York, it’s important to consult with a mass tort attorney familiar with state laws to guide you through the process.

Even trained and playful dogs can bite. Dogs, descended from wolves, retain natural instincts that may emerge unexpectedly. Children, especially young ones, often don’t understand how to interact safely with animals and may unintentionally provoke dogs by playing too roughly or crossing boundaries that the dog perceives as threatening. In some situations, dogs may feel territorial or protective, reacting aggressively to protect their food, toys, or owners.

Because children are small, dogs may view them as part of the pack hierarchy and respond according to their instincts. Even friendly dogs can act unpredictably when startled, overstimulated, or frightened. Recognizing these risks is essential for dog owners and parents alike.

Medical malpractice occurs when a patient is harmed or injured by a medical professional or facility that fails to provide proper treatment, fails to take appropriate action, or gives substandard treatment. Unfortunately, often the patient is not advised of the cause of the injury and the medical community is generally reluctant to support a patient who was injured by another doctor or hospital.
It is important to understand that not every complication or bad result is due to medical malpractice. Some injuries can and do occur even when all standard procedures are followed and good care is given. Injuries not due to malpractice are known as accepted or recognized risks of treatment, procedures and surgeries. The important thing is to have your case evaluated early on by an experienced attorney who knows the difference.

The definition of a hit-and-run accident is straightforward: a road incident in which the driver responsible for the collision leaves the scene without providing necessary contact information or alerting the police of the accident. Victims of hit-and-run accidents often find themselves dealing with vehicle damage, physical injuries, and an assortment of insurance issues without the necessary at-fault party’s information.

After a hit and run, you may feel inclined to follow the driver. However, this is not advisable as the driver may be dangerous, and chasing the driver may ultimately compromise your case. Instead, call the police to file a report. It’s important to do your best to take note of the fleeing car’s direction, color, make, and license plate information as these can be helpful pieces of information for police in attempting to locate the fleeing driver.
