Simi Valley Car Accident
http://www.venturacountystar.com/news/2009/jul/27/morning-report-major-injuries-in-simi-valley/
Two people were hospitalized with severe injuries after a suspected drunken driver and four other vehicles were involved in a crash on Highway 118 eastbound in Simi Valley on Sunday evening.
According to a report in the Ventura County Star, the suspected drunk driver had two previous hit and run crashes and the police plan to arrest him on suspicion of felony hit and run as well as DUI once he is released from the hospital.
I wish all those involved in the accident well as they recover from injuries and the emotional trauma of a serious collision.
The driver of the vehicle who caused this crash ought to be punished criminally and civilly for his actions. The victims of this incident can pursue legal action with a personal injury attorney to receive just and fair compensation for their injuries and damages.
Suspected Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Kills Family in Detroit

Three children and their father died on July 16, 2009 from suspected carbon monoxide poisoning in Detroit, Michigan. According to an article in the Detroit News, the family was using a generator in their basement to power two air conditioners in their home. The family was using the generator because the power had been shut off in their home after they fell behind on utility payments.
According to a spokesman for DTE Electric who was quoted in the Detroit News article, “A generator should never be operated in a home. They produce carbon monoxide and other fumes that accumulate”.
Carbon Monoxide is a dangerous, poisonous and odorless gas which is produced by the incomplete burning of various fuels. An article on carbonmonoxidekills.com reports that poor installation or poor maintenance of an appliance and poor room ventilation may lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.
If you or someone you know has been exposed to carbon monoxide poisoning, you may be entitled to compensation. If a landlord, building owner, or employer has not properly inspected the appliances where you live or work and you get carbon monoxide poisoning because of it, it would be in your best interest to contact an attorney experienced in carbon monoxide poisoning cases. At Law Office of Renee J. Nordstrand, we have taken and won carbon monoxide poisoning cases and will help you recover what you deserve.

According to the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control, falls (20%) and motor-vehicle accidents (28%) make up nearly half of all traumatic brain injuries in the United States. 1.4 million people sustain traumatic brain injuries annually.
Traumatic brain injuries can disrupt and dramatically impact your life, causing changes in your thought processes, sensations, and emotional and language capacities. These injuries can also cause significant financial hardship for the costs of adequate medical care. If you’ve sustained a traumatic brain injury in a fall or car accident and you believe another party is responsible, please contact an attorney with experience in handling brain injuries.
