Experts Suggest Safety Measures to Avoid Unnecessary Holiday Injuries.

In spite of the whirlwind of events and responsibilities that people have during the holidays, people should still remember to take certain steps so as to avoid the unnecessary personal injuries people can fall victim to at this time.

The excitement of the holidays can cause people to become distracted from the everyday steps they should take to remain safe from unnecessary injuries.  As a result, many hospitals see a dramatic increase in patients due to the unnecessary injuries people will suffer.  Such causes of these injuries range from dehydration, to food poisoning, to injuries sustained while cooking.

Experts opine that it is important to remember what tools you are using while you bake your holiday treats, and set up your holiday decorations.  Further, one should remember to thoroughly look at the gifts you are giving children, so that you don’t mistakenly give a child a dangerous toy.

Finally, while everyone loves the holidays, experts warn that it is important to remember that, as you age, you cannot take part in all of the holiday activities that you used to.  So remember not to strain your back carrying a Christmas tree, and remember to take more breaks when you are tired so you do not wear yourself out.  Otherwise, you could ruin your time this season having to remain in a hospital until your personal injuries are healed.

Personal injuries can happen unexpectedly and are generally very undesirable experiences.  If you have sustained personal injuries and need assistance, please contact our Massachusetts personal injury attorneys and Boston, MA wrongful death lawyers at 617-787-3700.  At 617-787-3700 and info@gilhoylaw.com, our experts are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.  Also, when you contact our Boston, MA personal injury lawyers or Boston, Massachusetts wrongful death accident attorneys at 617-787-3700 and info@gilhoylaw.com, you will receive a free, confidential consultation.

Juvenile Offender and Boys and Girls Clubs Organization Ordered to Pay $1.4 Million in Sexual Assault Case.

An unnamed 19 year-old victim of sexual assault has prevailed in a civil lawsuit brought against a juvenile sex offender and the organizations that allegedly permitted the sexual assault of the victim 10 years ago. 

The nineteen year-old is a former member of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Huntington Valley, California. His civil damages lawsuit was brought against a juvenile sex offender and the Boys and Girls Clubs.  According to the victim, the offender sexually assaulted him in a bathroom at one of the clubs ten years ago.

The victim was only eight years old in the summer of 2003, when the sexual assault incident occurred.  The victim’s lawyer states that the then ten year-old offender assaulted two other victims as well, and committed a total of approximately 60 acts of sexual assault against the three victims.  Officials at the Boys and Girls Clubs stated that better precautions have been implemented in recent years to prevent such incidents from recurring.

The jury made its decision after a 12-day trial, and the Clubs will pay the victim $1 million of the award, while the sexual offender will be responsible for paying the rest.

Hit-And-Run Suspect Caught In Motorcycle Accident.

21 year-old Danielle Fawcett, of Royal Palm Beach, Florida, who is suspected of hitting a motorcyclist and leaving the scene of the biker crash, already had a record of similar behavior.

The 21 year-old Royal Palm Beach native has been tied to a hit-and-run motorcycle accident that occurred near the Interstate 95 exchange in Royal Palm Beach, FL. The young woman allegedly sideswiped the motorcyclist as he was riding on Forest Hill Boulevard. Fawcett left the injured biker in a ditch. He was treated at the Delray Medical Center emergency room, where he remains in critical condition.

Luckily, the woman’s driver-side mirror was torn off in the motorcycle accident, so the police knew that the car belonging to the hit-and-run driver is a silver Honda Civic. The motorcyclist’s friend recognized a car matching this description at a local body shop and reported it to the Palm Beach Police.

A record check on the suspect has revealed that there is an open case pending against her for improper backing and taking off after causing property damage. Both of those charges were misdemeanors, while this felony charge could land her up to five years in prison.

Car and motorcycle accidents can result in serious personal injuries and even death that can greatly disrupt the life of the victim and his family.
