Recently, a PA woman sued Kohl's department store after she was knocked over by a restocking cart. According to records, the woman went to a Kohl's store in November 2015 to do some Christmas shopping. She was approaching a price scanning kiosk to check an item's price when she was knocked over by a Kohl's employee who was pushing a restocking cart full of upright vacuum cleaners. The woman sustained significant damage to her body, especially her right side. Over the past two years since the incident, the woman reports that she has nerve damage in her right leg, which significantly weakens her right leg and ankle. She also stated that her injuries negatively impact her ability to care for her 96-year-old mother, for whom she is the primary caretaker.

Premises liability cases are more common than what many people may think. This one particular case, however, resulted in a very large claim for a York, PA man. According to news reports, an 80-year-old man was at a shopping center in York Township when he tripped over an unmarked step, and his head and face went into the edge of a chair of a neighboring tattoo parlor. The corresponding fall did extensive damage, including the loss of vision in one eye. This injury left him functionally blind. After the man took legal action, he was recently awarded four million dollars for injuries. For more on the news report, please click here.

Accidents and injuries tend to increase during the summer, especially for children. Do you know that many common injuries occur where you may least expect them? According to one hospital's website, ER visits increase significantly during the summer. Many of these injuries occur as a result of children getting into accidents, such as falling out of windows (whether they have screens or they don't). Fire pits are also a common place for injuries, as are lawn mower accidents, swimming accidents, and pedestrian accidents. The time around dusk can be particularly dangerous for children out playing, since it may be more difficult for others to see them walking, biking, and rollerskating on the streets.

Injuries can happen at any time, even when you're out having a fun and family-friendly day with your family. One such case recently happened in West Chester, PA. A family was out enjoying family time at a mall, where their young child went through an obstacle course set up there. The child was injured when an exposed piece of metal in the obstacle course hit his head, causing substantial injury to his scalp. The family is suing based on claims that the defendants failed to properly supervise the installation of the course, as well as inspect the course and surrounding area, in addition to other charges.

Summertime is here, and opening your pool can add to the excitement! However, it is important to understand your liability as a homeowner when you have others over to enjoy your pool. According to ConsumerAffairs.com, about 350 children under the age of five drown every year while in pools. It falls behind car crashes as the second leading cause of death among young children. Almost another 3,000 additional children are taken to hospital ERs as a result of pool accidents.

When throwing a party or inviting friends over, most people are concerned with cleaning their homes, preparing the food, and making sure that there's enough to drink. Although these things are important, it is also important to remember that, as hosts, you are responsible for what your guests ingest at your party. Many hosts believe that, if their guests are 21 or older, they should be able to consume as much alcohol as they want without hosts having to monitor them. This is a common misconception. If a party attendee leaves the party drunk and causes injury or accident to themselves or another person, the hosts are partially responsible for the injuries. This is true not only at a home-based party, but also at such public gatherings as graduation parties, wedding receptions, and other celebrations.
