“Transformers 3” Worker Obtains $18.5M Settlement for Serious Injury.

Posted on May 25, 2012 by gil hoy

Gabriela Cedillo, then 26 years old, was working as an extra in 2010 on the set of the “Transformers 3” movie in Hammond, Indiana.  Cedillo suffered catastrophic personal injuries when a piece of flying metal hit her on the head during the filming of a stunt sequence.  Cedillo was driving a 2006 Toyota during the stunt scene.  At that time, a cable snapped and crashed through the window of her car, striking her in the head and causing the car to spin out of control and hit the highway median.  An investigation found that a weld connecting the car to a tow cable had failed and thereby caused the accident.

Cedillo was left with brain damage after the car accident and now needs constant care.  She suffers from hallucinations, memory loss and substantial cognitive difficulty.  Her family says her long-term prognosis is uncertain.  The $18.5 million settlement, paid by Paramount Pictures, will set aside partial monthly payments to pay for Cedillo’s medical expense damages for the rest of her life.

Flu Shot Rate for Hospital Workers Still Too Low, Say Regulators.

Posted on May 16, 2012 by gil hoy

Boston, MA LawyerMassachusetts hospital workers’ flu shot rates are still too low, exposing hospital patients to a higher risk of infection, according to the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. The average flu shot rate this year was about 81 percent, which is higher than last year’s 70 percent rate, but still lower than the regulators’ goal of 90 percent.

The state’s hospitals vary widely with respect to their vaccination rates – Newton-Wellesley’s rate is 101.8 percent (according to the hospital, seasonal fluctuations in employment numbers are the reason that their percentage is over 100); Dana-Farber Cancer Institute’s rate is 98.3 percent; but Anna Jaques Hospital’s rate is only 61.2 percent.

State regulators have mulled over since last year the possibility of passing new regulations mandating that state hospital employees with direct contact with patients get flu vaccines each year. To date however, regulators have stopped short of that effort, in favor of “persuading” the hospitals to comply. While hospitals apparently have tried to comply, many of them do not mandate that their employees receive flu shots. The decision then is put in the hands of the individual employee. Regulators, this year, again decided not to mandate compliance, but are increasing their minimum required average to 83 percent, from last year’s 73 percent.
