A List of Infamous Prom Incidents

For seniors, the prom is an epilogue to their high school years. The pictures, the socializing, the parties, and the dancing often add up to a night that is extraordinarily memorable. Yet, sometimes, prom can be memorable for all the wrong reasons.

Anyone who ever watched the 1990’s series Beverly Hill 90210 likely remembers when Donna Martin got drunk at prom and, as a result, was prohibited from graduation festivities. Thankfully, the administration relented when the whole school got together in protest, yelling “Donna Martin Graduates” on the steps of City Hall.

While actual events that have taken place at prom aren’t always that dramatic (or corny), they are controversial. The following discusses some of the more recent controversies prom has produced:

Prom Cancelled Due to Same Sex Couple

Per CNN, a 2010 prom was cancelled at a Mississippi high school in order to avoid a lesbian bringing her girlfriend as her date. A lawsuit was filed by the American Civil Liberties Union alleging that refusal to allow a girl to bring her girlfriend to prom violated the student’s First Amendment right to freedom of expression.

The lawsuit was eventually settled, and the school agreed to pay monetary damages as well as establish GLBT education classes for future students.

Busty Girl Busted

According to Seattle’s Fox affiliate, a Washington high school found themselves at the center of controversy when a busty 17 year old girl was told to cover up her cleavage or leave the prom and go home. While the school stated that they were within their rights to enforce a dress code, others believed that this code wasn’t enforced uniformly: rather, this was a case of breast-ism. Attesting to the latter was the fact that several students posted pictures on Facebook dressed in outfits that were in direct violation to the school dress code. Yet, these students were allowed to remain at prom.

Segregated Prom Finally Unsegregated

Though the Civil Rights Act outlawing racial discrimination in schools and public areas took place almost 50 years ago, according to US News, racially segregated proms were still being held in Georgia’s rural Wilcox County. Because these proms (one called the “white prom” and one called the “black prom”) were organized and funded privately, the school was not in direct violation of federal law: rather than illegal, it was just archaic and offensive.

In 2013, students decided that they had had enough of the separate prom idea. They united to throw one prom that accepted students of all ethnicities. This move received laudation from the school district.

Dirty Dancing Disallowed

Most people can’t dance as well as Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey did in that classic movie, but this fact doesn’t stop them from trying. While dirty dancing seems to be a part of the youthful dance culture, per Denver’s ABC news affiliate, two parents chaperoning a prom in Manitou Springs weren’t fans. These parents are accused of spraying Lysol disinfectant on teens who were dancing in what the parents thought was a risqué manner and calling the girls “whores” and “sluts.” Police were notified when a student filed a report and subsequently began an investigation.

While the above instances aren’t as drastic as what happened in Steven King’s Carrie, for instance, they are reflective of many of the issues facing Americans today. They are also examples of how proms can be made political when they are really just supposed to be fun.

Dangerous Dining: Restaurant Injuries On The Rise

People are quickly learning that some of the most healthy food can be made in the comfort of their own home, but there’s no denying that it’s enjoyable to head out on the town and have a nice dinner at a restaurant every now and again. These meals usually end well, although the service may sometimes be questionable, and a family can head back home with maybe just a bit too much sodium in their body. Unfortunately, every so often a patron may be unlucky enough to experience an accident due to the restaurant’s negligence. Common Types of Restaurant Injuries
Most people are surprised when they learn of the potential dangers they face when they go out to eat. Sadly, these accidents can sometimes lead to serious injuries, and in extremely unlucky circumstances, they can even lead to death. Researching your particular situation on the Internet on websites such as Williams Law Association, P.A. can be a good way to get started in understanding what steps you may need to take after one of these situations.

A) Choking: Most people would think that there would be no way that a restaurant could be liable for a choking patron, but this belief is entirely inaccurate. If food isn’t properly cooked, for instance, it can increase the chances of an individual choking. In addition, if certain items, such as strings or plastic, that are used in packaging aren’t removed prior to serving, a patron can choke on the item.

B) Slips and Falls: Slip and fall accidents account for a large percentage of injuries experienced in America each year. If something spills in the dining area or bathroom floor, for instance, and isn’t quickly cleaned, it can easily lead to a fall. Falls can also occur if restaurant owners have placed furniture or other items where they may constitute a tripping hazard.

C) Auto Accidents: Restaurants can even be held liable for car accidents experienced by individuals who have never been in the establishment. Restaurants have a duty to stop serving alcohol to people who are obviously drunk. If they don’t, and that individual ends up causing an accident, the restaurant can be held liable for the incident.

Dealing with Injuries at Restaurants
It’s important to deal with injuries sustained due to a restaurant’s negligence in a very specific way. If an injury was suffered in or around the restaurant, for example, it’s important to have someone immediately notify the manager. This will allow them to fill out an incident report. Once management has been notified, it’s also important to visit a doctor. Injuries can turn especially detrimental if they’re not properly treated.

It’s also essential to seek out the help of an attorney in these instances. Restaurants are all about making money, and having to reimburse a patron for their medical bills is not conducive to this outcome. This is why they’ll likely fight any claim for damages in court. Luckily, legal professionals are experienced in proving fault; and in fact, a restaurant’s insurance provider is much more likely to offer a fair initial settlement if they know that a person has legal representation.

It’s a sad fact that a nice night out will not always end the way an individual envisions it. Due to the negligence of some restaurant owners or their employees, innocent patrons may end up injured due to an accident that should’ve been could have been avoided. When faced with a possible negligent situation, it’s always a good idea to discuss your case with an attorney to clarify possible legal responsibilities for both yourself and the establishment.

 

Kari Lloyd is a freelance writer and blogger who contributes to a wide range of publications, particularly those involving legal and business matters. If you have been affected by an injury at a restaurant, visiting a specialist attorney group like Williams Law Association, P.A. can be a good starting point to ensure you understand the steps and procedures of the legal process.

Portal extension could mean more expense for clients

The extension of the personal injury portal has implied that clients may have to pay more for good service following the latest update. Public liability and personal injury cases worth up to £25,000 will now fall into the portal for the first time. Claimant Solicitors with cases worth up to £10,000 will be able to claim up to £900 and cases worth up to but not above £25,000 could recover £1,600.

Solicitors may have to tell claimants now that it is necessary to pay more if their case is more serious in order to get a more thorough service provided by a top personal injury solicitor rather than a trainee or paralegal.

It was believed that law firms would adopt a new approach to the conditional fee where deductions from damages are capped at 25% but this wasn’t the case.

The extension of the personal injury portal to employers and public liability cases could encourage insurers to benefit from reduced claimant fees and therefore top fighting a case as they cannot afford to pay personal injury fees for the sake of it.

Personal injury and legal experts will have to be wary in future. It is essential that a defendant know who the claimants insurers are prior to opening a case, without knowing the crucial details the portal will be irrelevant.

An example of a case that would automatically fall into the portal would be; a personal injury case where a serious injury has been received but liability has been admitted meaning that the claimant would be the loser.

The latest Personal injury news implies that personal injury lawyers will have to be more careful in future to lower budget cases and make it clear to the client that in order to get a better outcome they may have to pay more then expected.

Personal injury solicitors could see an increase of cases going through the portal at around six percent.

A Case of First Impression in Law Enforcement

injured veteranA recent federal employment law case has set a significant precedent that will likely impact the way law enforcement agencies view disabled job applicants and treat disabled employees. It will also likely provide encouragement to injured veterans seeking to be productive citizens as they re-enter civilian life.

In Justin Slaby v. Eric Holder, Jr., the U.S. District Court considered whether the FBI discriminated against a disabled veteran when it dismissed him.  In 2004, Justin Slaby , an Army Ranger who served two tours in Iraq and one in Afghanistan, while preparing for a fourth tour lost his left hand when a defective grenade exploded prematurely.  Slaby’s right hand is his dominant hand.  After learning to use a prosthetic left hand, Slaby applied to and was accepted by the FBI academy to train to become a special agent. In 2009 after a few weeks at the academy, FBI academy instructors removed him from training because of his disability.  The FBI did not dismiss him completely.  He was first offered a job as a janitor, then as a member of the support staff.  Slaby filed a lawsuit in federal court, asserting that the FBI discriminated against him because of his disability in violation of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.  This case has been closely watched by law enforcement as well as other employers as its outcome will likely significantly impact their hiring practices.  It has also been closely watched by veterans groups as injured veterans often face considerable obstacles when they return from combat and try to assimilate back into civilian life.

The FBI defended its decision to not permit Slaby to continue training based on its belief that even with accommodations, due to his disability Slaby was unable to handle a gun and would put himself and other agents a risk. The Americans with Disabilities Act, while requiring employers to make certain accommodations for disabled employees, also provides that such accommodations do not have to be made if the employee poses a direct threat to safety.  The government’s case, however, was damaged by the fact that Teresa Carlson, the head of the FBI’s Wisconsin’s office, stated her belief that disabled people should not be FBI agents and warned an FBI firearms instructor slated to be a witness at the trial to “come down on the side of the government.”

Eight days of testimony produced evidence  that it is not necessary to be proficient with a firearm using a non-dominant hand to pass the FBI’s firearm test. Furthermore, evidence was presented that Slaby was not only proficient with his dominant hand he also was quite capable of using a firearm with his prosthetic.  The jury found in favor of Slaby.  It awarded Slaby $75,000 and back pay.  Slaby will also be permitted to complete his training to become an FBI special agent.  He will be the first FBI agent with a prosthetic limb.  It is unclear as to whether the government will appeal the verdict. Teresa Carlson, who invoked her 5th Amendment right against self-incrimination, has since been reassigned from the Wisconsin FBI office.  A criminal investigation of her conduct is pending.

Do you think that discrimination is a significant factor in the inability of many disabled, returning veterans to find employment?

Strong and Weak Personal Injury Cases

(US law) Personal injury cases come in all shapes and sizes; and, some of them are strong, but some of them are weak. Why does this difference matter?

Well, apart from the often obvious and very general advantages to what is strong over what is weak, if you have a strong personal injury case then filing a personal injury lawsuit is likely to be of great benefit and even monetary reward to you.

However, if you have a weak personal injury case, then you might not even be able to find a personal injury lawyer willing to take it and file a lawsuit on your behalf. And, in the end, you might lose your lawsuit and be stuck with expensive attorney’s fees if a personal lawyer does decide to take your personal injury case.

So, let’s take a closer look at strong and weak personal injury cases to help you decide how your personal injury case can be categorized: Strong, or weak?

Strong Personal Injury Cases

Strong personal injury cases are usually those that have a clear idea of the who, what, where, when, and why. They establish the following:

  • Who — Who was negligent and caused the accident that brought about the plaintiff’s injuries? This is important, because a plaintiff doesn’t have a case without a defendant.

  • What — What happened? Circumstantial and direct evidence need to be found in order to prove that the defendant was negligent and caused the accident, injuring the plaintiff.

  • Where and When — Where and when the accident happened are also important. This is for legal reasons, such as proper jurisdiction of a case and timely filing. The Statute of Limitations bars filing a lawsuit for a personal injury case that is anywhere from two to four years old in most states.

  • Why — Who was really at fault? If a plaintiff is also at fault, then comparative negligence, contributory negligence, and assumption of risk also come into play.

Weak Personal Injury Cases

Well, weak personal injury cases are the exact opposite. It’s hard to pin down a defendant, and it’s also hard to establish and prove whether or not his or her negligence caused your accident. In addition, if the defendant is the state or the case is just too old, then a lawsuit might have little chance of being allowed to be filed by local, state, and federal law.

Motorcycle Accidents: What Causes Them and Who is Responsible

Motorcycle Accidents: What Causes Them and Who is Responsible

There aren’t many bikers out there who wouldn’t say that riding motorcycles isn’t just a mode of transportation; it’s a way of life. Unfortunately, this love for the free feeling that’s felt when traveling down the open roads on a motorcycle puts bikers at increased risk for being seriously injured in accidents. This is why it’s essential for motorcycle riders to recognize what increased risks they face; and if they are involved in an accident, they should understand who is responsible.

Causes of Motorcycle Accidents

While there are numerous reasons that any automobile may be involved in an accident, there are a few causes that happen more often than not when motorcycles are involved. It’s important for all drivers to understand these causes if they hope to avoid being involved in a motorcycle accident.

Lane Splitting: Lane splitting is the act of a rider traveling between two lanes of stopped or slowed traffic. The motorcycle’s smaller size allows them to travel faster in a smaller space than the vehicles around them, but this can lead to serious accidents. Other drivers don’t expect vehicles to pass them while stopped in traffic, but the person at fault will often vary depending on state law. If you are involved in an accident due to lane splitting, a personal injury lawyer can help to determine who is responsible.

Left-Hand Turns: Many accidents involving two cars happen when one car is turning left, but this is exponentially more disastrous for motorcycle riders. In fact, at least 42 percent of all motorcycle accidents that involve a traditional automobile are caused when a vehicle turns left and hits the biker. As mentioned, this type of accident can occur among two cars as well, but due to motorcycles being less visible, these accidents are quite common.

Road Hazards: All vehicles face road hazards, but a pothole that might not even faze an SUV could easily result in a horrific crash when a motorcycle is involved. Motorcycles are inherently less stable than other vehicles, so slick pavements, uneven highways, dead animals or just about any other irregularity in the road can lead to an accident for bikers.

Legal Liability in Motorcycle Accidents

Before understanding liability in a motorcycles accident, it’s first important to understand that bikers are often under a different set of laws than other drivers. Lane splitting, for instance, is actually permissible in some states. Deciding liability in these situations will depend largely on whether or not the act is permitted where the accident occurred.

Additionally, many states allow bikers to ride abreast of each other in the same lane. As anyone can imagine, this or lane splitting wouldn’t be allowed for traditional vehicles in any locale. The most important thing that a biker can do to figure out liability is to understand their local laws and hire an attorney if they’re involved in an accident.

Legal professionals who deal with motorcycle accidents will be knowledgeable in a state’s motorcycle laws, and this makes them better equipped to prove liability in a case. Since liability can vary between different states, having a motorcycle accident attorney is always advisable after a car collides with a motorcycle.

Motorcycle accidents can be especially detrimental due to the lack of protection that the vehicle provides. In addition, other drivers may not be able to see motorcycles as well as they would traditional automobiles. Luckily, simply recognizing the increased dangers and most common causes of accidents may help bikers and other drivers remain more vigilant while out on the road. When an accident does occur, however, motorcycle riders should speak with an attorney if they hope to recover both physically and financially.


The freedom that is felt when riding on a motorcycle is one that writer Melanie Fleury enjoys. She has learned, however, that although motorcycle rides are fun, the stakes are much higher when in an accident. The Law Offices of Joseph Pius, a personal injury lawyer, want motorcyclists to know that injuries are more likely because of the lack of protection, and that an experienced lawyer can help to get fair compensation for those involved in an accident.

Employee Injury: Here’s How to Protect Your Assets

As a small business owner, you probably have invested most or all of your assets into your business. These financial resources also may be your cushion that could prevent you from losing everything if your business were to collapse. When you hire employees, you not only must look to your own well-being; you must also ensure that your workers remain safe and protected. When one of your workers gets hurt while carrying out duties for your company, it is entirely possible that that individual could sue you for damages.

A lawsuit has the potential to drain your assets and cause your company to fail. Even if you believe that this event could never happen to you or your business, you would do well to prepare for it. Rather than lose your assets, you should understand how to protect your financial resources and how you could be affected if you were to lose them.

Lawsuits Hold You Liable

Even if you were not at work that day when the worker’s accident happened, you could still be held liable for his or her injury. On the webpage www.personalinjurylawyersny.net it is stated that “People suffer accidental injuries every day, ranging from minor to very serious. When these injuries occur because of the actions of another person or entity, the injured victims are entitled to seek damages from the party that was at fault in the incident.”

The court would consider whether or not you provided adequate training on how to prevent accidents at work to your employees. It may also consider whether or not you provided sufficient protection for your workers and whether or not your worker acted with negligence. If the court finds you liable for the person’s injury, you may have to pay out large sums of money and sell your liquid assets to satisfy the judgment. With your assets gone, your company may not be able to survive.

Retain an Attorney

You can also ensure your success by retaining a business attorney. Attorneys can head off injury lawsuits and protect you from incriminating yourself in any legal action. A business attorney can be a valuable asset that can make sure that you survive a lawsuit and that your assets are protected.

Many business owners make the mistake of not protecting their assets from injury lawsuit judgments. You could lose your assets and your company if a court decides against you. Taking precautions like buying insurance may be your best course of action as you plan for such circumstances.

And if you are an employee or individual and you’ve been injured, consider contacting an injury attorney like those at Philadelphia Injury Lawyers, P.C. for a free consultation!

Motorcycle Accidents & Personal Injury: Know Your Rights

Riding on a motorcycle carries a host of inherent dangers. As it’s the one vehicle where you’re exposed to a host of elements such as inclement weather conditions, uncontrollable obstacles in the roadway and inconsiderate drivers; your risks for an accident can be heightened. Knowing your rights and taking the proper precautions is a necessity when navigating the roads on a motorcycle.

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
A recent survey dispelled what was behind the actual causes of motorcycle accidents today. While most consider high rates of speed to be the primary culprit in these cases, many of the accidents were not caused at the hands of the driver’s negligence. Motorcycle accident attorneys specifically handle cases pertaining to motorized bikes and have the expertise and knowledge to ascertain your rights based on the laws and regulations of the state where you would reside.

Motorcycle Accident Liability
If you or someone you love has been involved in a motorcycle accident, you may be able to recover monetary compensation for your pain and suffering with the help of a motorcycle attorney. In order to do this, you need to determine who was at fault for the collision. Even if you were partly to blame, you may live in a state where modified comparative fault exists. This allows an injured party to recover damages for an accident that was 50 percent or less their fault. Checking with an insurance company like Monkey Insurance and a good personal injury attorney is a great idea to ensure you get your maximum entitlement.

Most Common Causes of Accidents
Intersections are the areas where a motorcycle accident is most likely to take place. This is due in part to a truck or other vehicle blocking the view of the motorcycle from the other motorists. Another area of blame that contributes to motorcycle accidents includes obstructed views. The reflection of the sun bouncing off another vehicle or poor visibility from other cars and trucks can all contribute to the problem, and the motorcycle is less likely to see the hindrances on the roadways. Over 60 percent of all motorcycle accidents occur due to fuel spillage. With the dangerous road conditions sealing the fate for the motorcyclist, the driver is sure to experience of host of problems due to the gas spill and remaining debris.

Basic Laws and Safety
A wise motorcycle driver will abide by the laws and regulations in the state where they reside. Some forms of compliance can include the requirement of helmets to both the driver and passenger and vehicles manufactured after a specific date must have working headlights during the day and night. Safety precautions should also include keeping a safe amount of distance between the motorcycle and other vehicles, using extreme caution navigating through intersections and proper lane usage. Unfortunately, no matter how safe you drive and follow the laws and regulations, the driver of another car or truck may be negligent and can be the cause of a serious or fatal crash. If that happens, the injured party should know their rights and contact a personal injury attorney who specializes in motorcycle accidents.

It’s up to each individual party to take responsibility for staying safe on the open roadways. However, if you use extreme caution and follow the mandated laws, the other driver can be at fault for your accident. That’s why it’s extremely important to know your rights when operating a motorcycle.

Personal Injury Isn’t Perfect

Personal injury is an area of the law that serves the victims of accidents that occurred as a result of someone else’s negligence. There are many procedures involved in reaching a settlement, which is the end of every personal injury lawsuit and the reason why it is filed in the first place.

Why?

Well, a settlement can help a plaintiff recover medical bills, lost wages, and other costs associated with their accident.

Nevertheless, the procedures involved in reaching a settlement are all a great chance to get the plaintiff the amount in damages they need, but generally getting the needed amount will only happen if a plaintiff gets the lawyer they need, one who is competent, capable, and compassionate.

However, just like personal injury law isn’t perfect, personal injury lawyers aren’t perfect, either. Let’s take a look at what plaintiffs need to know about personal injury law and personal injury lawyers before, during, and after their personal injury lawsuit in order to be aware of the imperfections and problems that might and can arise.

Personal Injury Law Isn’t Perfect

There is no absolute way to win a case. In fact, there are many defenses available to defendants. These defenses are generally related to the plaintiff’s part in being a reason why the accident happened.

However, things like age, youth, are illness are generally not factors considered in this analysis. Defendants have to take their plaintiffs as they find them, which is known as the eggshell doctrine.

But, let’s take a look at the defenses closer:

  • Comparative Negligence — You only get damages based on the percentage of the defendant’s fault in causing the accident.

  • Contributory Negligence — If you are found to have caused the accident at all, then you are barred from recovering damages.

  • Assumption of Risk — Doing something you knew was dangerous, such as contact and extreme sports.

As seen, some of these defenses can poke big holes into your personal injury lawsuit, even taking the air out of it altogether.

Personal Injury Lawyers Aren’t Perfect, Either

Well, these are the defenses to your personal injury lawsuit, and they are defenses your personal injury lawyer should consider when determining the strengths and weaknesses of your case, but they might not always think about them.

Why?

Well, your personal injury lawyers wants to get you the settlement you need, which can lead to overconfidence and oversight, especially if they are inexperienced. So, be sure to research your personal injury lawyers before you pick the one who will be right for you.

Chemical Injury Compensation Claims

You might think that chemical injury claims for compensation are generally made by workers in heavy industry and manufacturing who have been injured by dramatic accidents involving the spilling of corrosive or otherwise hazardous substances or the release of harmful fumes or by working with materials such as mercury, zinc or lead which are known to damage the internal organs. In fact claims extend to injuries which are sometime not immediately apparent to the sufferer, caused by constant exposure to chemicals in our everyday environment, such as the products we use and the buildings we work in, all of which we might presume to be non hazardous to our health. In 2007-08 the Health and Safety Executive produced statistics revealing that there were nearly three thousands chemical injuries in the service sector alone.

A chemical injury claim can generally be made if symptoms become apparent within three years of the claimant having worked with hazardous chemicals. It should be noted that although physiologically some people are more susceptible to the harmful effects of chemicals than others, everybody whose employment requires them to handle or process chemicals is entitled to be protected in their workplace from such harmful effects.

The effects of some chemical injuries will be immediately physically apparent as with the burns to body tissue associated with corrosive chemicals. Some injuries however will involve exposure to chemicals that are gradually absorbed by the body, and which over time might eventually spread to one or several internal organs. In such cases even the immediate removal of the injured worker from the presence of the chemical will not prevent the later development of serious injury. Symptoms of such chemical injuries by absorption can include stomach complaints, respiratory, cardiac problems and damage to the immune, endocrine and reproductive systems. If the chemical is fat soluble it will be capable of entering the brain and impairing neurological functions.

Employers have a duty of care to risk assess procedures, be aware of and act on the safety information and guidance supplied by the suppliers of chemicals (in line with the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSSH) regulations), follow industry best practice and remove or alleviate as far as possible the risks presented by a particular process or chemical. This they can do by ensuring that their employees who work with chemicals are correctly trained, have all the safety equipment they require and that they work in a suitable environment for the work being undertaken.

If an employee has suffered a chemical injury through no fault of their own and due to the employer being negligent in any aspect of his duty of care, which if he had correctly discharged it would have prevented the accident that caused the injury from occurring, it might be possible to make a chemical injury compensation claim. Make sure that you appoint experienced and accredited personal injury solicitors to help you with your compensation claim. They will be able to advise you on the whether you have grounds for a claim as although some injuries, such as burns and serious internal damage can be immediately apparent and their severity reasonably clearly ascribable to the toxicity of the chemical or length of time the worker was exposed to it, some chemical injuries are the result of long periods of low level exposure. The results of such exposures are injuries whose symptoms might have a very gradual onset and be diagnostically problematic. Such a situation can add a considerable extra degree of complexity to a claim, making the involvement of an experienced compensation claim solicitor all but essential.
