Child accident takes the life of a Texas toddler | Ohio child accident lawyers

Our Toledo, Ohio child accident lawyers handle child injuries on a regular basis. We are very sad to report on a tragic child accident case that Attorney Jeff Rasansky is handling.

A little over a year ago, Dallas, Texas was the setting for the extremely unfortunate death of a 2-year old toddler, Isabella Estep. On Halloween day, 2008 Isabella was dropped off at Woodbridge Day School while her mother, Marcelina Osorio, went off to work.

While on the playground, Isabella had found a small rock and placed it in her mouth. By the time she had gotten back to the classroom the stone had become lodged in her throat and was beginning to constrict her breathing. This all went unnoticed by Isabella's teacher, Mia Jennings, until Isabella was lying on the ground, lips blue and other classmates poking at her to try and get a response out of their lifeless friend's body.

Mrs. Jennings was not trained in simple first aid response techniques, which in turn wasted valuable time running throughout the building to try and find help. By the time a medical response team had arrived on scene it was already too late, Isabella had choked to death.

The Texas Department of Family and Protective Services determined Isabella's unfortunate death was due to poor supervision. Since the incident, Jennings has been found to have no high school education or first aid training; both are mandatory for most positions where child interaction is a key role.

Marcelina Osorio, with the help of Jeff Rasansky, a Dallas attorney with special expertise in day care injury cases, has issued a lawsuit against the Woodbridge Day School for "failing to provide even the most minimum degree of competency and good judgment." 

Accidents involving children are extremely devastating. If you or someone you know has had a child who has been injured or even worse, please feel free to contact our offices for a FREE copy of our Ohio child accident book, "Little Kids, Big Accidents: The Ultimate Guide to Child Accidents in Ohio," by calling 800.637.8170.

Tips for parents to avoid rollover child accidents | Findlay, Ohio child accident injury lawyers

Accidents can happen anywhere - even in your own driveway.

Busy parents and baby-sitters are often in such a rush to get to the next destination that they might not always pay attention to who is not in the car. Backover accident fatalities can happen to even the safest drivers and smartest kids.

Our Swanton, Ohio child accident lawyers urge parents to remember these tips to prevent fatal child backover accidents, from Injury Board magazine:

1. Always walk around a car prior to moving it so you know that no one is behind it.

2. Know where your kids are at all times.

3. Before leaving, have children stand in a visible place and wave "good-bye" to you, so you know that they are not behind your vehicle.

For more tips on how to avoid rollover child accidents, check out our next blog. If you or someone you know has a child who was injured in an Ohio child accident, contact our office immediately for your free copy of Little Kids, Big Accidents: The Ultimate Guide to Child Accident Cases in Ohio.

Seattle - Autistic boy loses life after being prescribed painkiller patch | Ohio child accident lawyers

A 15-year-old autistic boy lost his life after being prescribed a painkiller patch and suffering a drug overdose, according a recent civil suit filed in the King County Superior Court in Washington.

Michael Blankenship, who could not speak due to his autism, was given the pain killer patch fentanyl after a routine tooth extraction at the Seattle Children's Hospital. He was sent home with the patch at the highest recommended dosage, and was found the next morning unresponsive. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Seattle attorney Chris Davis represents the Blankenship family, and the suit that was filed on their behalf is trying to hold the Seattle Children's Hospital accountable for the boy's death.

"I believe the facts are enough here to constitute recklessness," Seattle attorney Chris Davis said. "There are no criminal charges. There's no action being taken against the doctor by the hospital. The only thing left is this civil lawsuit filed by his mom. Is that enough? I would say no, especially in this type of case when the facts are so egregious."

Ohio injury lawyers know how to protect your child’s rights.

Lawyers help level the playing field between parents and adjusters. As we wrote earlier, insurance adjusters handle claims for a living. Naturally they have a tremendous advantage over most parents in negotiating a settlement. This is true even if the parents are very sophisticated and have successful careers.

Injury cases, particularly those involving children, are far more complicated than they often appear. The number of legal issues that arise even in seemingly straightforward cases can be tricky for even for lawyers who specialize in representing injured people.

For example, we've handled tragic cases involving children who were injured or killed when struck by a car in a driveway. Because our office is experienced in handling such cases, we know the importance of doing things like hiring a private investigator to interview witnesses, gathering the child's school records, and making sure the family members of the child were receiving the proper psychological treatment to cope with their loss.

Apart from legal issues, an attorney experienced with child injury cases may be able to help guide you to the best medical care in the area. We've had a number of situations in our office where an accident has left a child with a broken arm or leg. That's a problem for anyone, but  growing children can experience issues with growth plates that can cause situations such as one leg being shorter than the other. Because we deal with physicians on a daily basis, we're able to connect our clients with the top medical providers in the region.

So, if your child has been injured, contact a lawyer as soon as possible to protect your son or daughter's rights. Consulting a lawyer early in the case could make the difference between whether your child is taken advantage of or receives fair compensation.
