Posted on November 28, 2017 by gil hoy

Getting your driver’s license as a teenager is one of the great joys of being that age. However, with getting your driver’s license, comes great responsibilities. You are now responsible for not only the safety of the other passengers in your car but also the other drivers on the road. As a young inexperienced driver, this may mean paying even more attention than some who have been driving for decades. If you aren’t paying full attention as an inexperienced driver, the panic may be too much to overcome if something begins to go wrong causing an accident.  If you become a victim of a Massachusetts car accident, the attorneys here at our Boston, Massachusetts law firm will help guide you through the process.

Three high school students recently died in a car accident in the Worcester County Town of West Brookfield, Massachusetts. The tight-knit community of West Brookfield is mourning the loss of the three teens who died. The Worcester District Attorney’s office said their car rolled over when it hit a tree on Douglas Road. All three victims, two boys and one girl, were students at Quaboag Regional Middle High School in Warren, Massachusetts, not far from the accident site. According to local officials, the car left the road, hit a tree, and then rolled over. The vehicle could be seen on its side, off the road, after rolling over.

Family Of Third Grader Who Hung Himself Files Wrongful Death Lawsuit Against School.

Posted on September 28, 2017 by gil hoy

Nobody wants to believe that bullying in school is as large of a problem as it sometimes truly is. Bullying can lead kids to do things that they likely would not otherwise do. One family found out just how much bullying can take away from them when their son took his own life, allegedly as a result of being bullied. Although a wrongful death lawsuit may be the last thing on a family’s mind after their loved one was unexpectedly taken from them, it may be the only way to begin to recover from the financial burden associated with your loved one’s death, including taking care of unpaid medical bills and funeral expenses. Please contact one of our expert wrongful death attorneys, who have decades of experience fighting for our Massachusetts clients, at the Law Offices of Gilbert R. Hoy, Jr. and Affiliates for a free consultation so that you can learn what legal remedies you may be entitled to.

The family of a Cincinnati, Ohio Carson Elementary School third-grader, who hung himself in January, have filed a federal lawsuit against school officials. The wrongful death suit claims 8 year-old Gabriel Taye’s suicide resulted from a January attack in the boys’ restroom that was caught by a school surveillance camera and that school officials allegedly covered up. The suit says that school officials “deliberately withheld vital information from his mother, including that he had been assaulted, lost consciousness for a considerable period of time, and was at risk of a serious head injury.

Defendants reportedly informed the victim’s mother only that her son had fainted in the boy’s restroom and had recovered completely. In addition, the suit claims defendant school officials not only knew that student-on-student aggression was rampant, especially in the unsupervised bathrooms, but chose to cover it up rather than alert parents and the school community so that the violence could be investigated and resolved. The wrongful death lawsuit names as defendants the Cincinnati Board of Education, since-retired Superintendent Mary Ronan, Carson School Principal Ruthenia Jackson, and Assistant Principal Jeffrey McKenzie.

Georgia Jury Awards $4.475 Million To Widow Whose Husband Died After Surgery.

Posted on September 19, 2017 by gil hoy

When a medical professional makes a mistake, and you or a loved one is seriously injured, you may be able to file a personal injury lawsuit against the doctor and the medical center responsible for your pain and suffering and other damages. The experienced medical malpractice attorneys here at our Boston, Massachusetts law firm have decades of experience fighting for our Commonwealth clients and can help guide you through the complicated litigation process.

A jury in Savannah, Georgia has awarded $4.475 million to a widow whose husband died in a Reidsville, Georgia hospital the night after spinal fusion surgery. The case went to the jury at 2 p.m. Monday following a six-day trial before Chatham County State Court Judge Gregory Sapp. The jury awarded $4.1 million for the full value of the life of Tommy Rogers, who was 54 years-old when he died in December 2014. The verdict included $360,000 for conscious pain and suffering and $15,000 for funeral expenses.

On the apportionment section of the verdict, the jury placed 0 percent fault on the surgeon, Dr. Bradley Heiges of Orthopedics Center, 90 percent of the fault on the nursing staff of Tattnall Hospital, and 10 percent on Dr. Joseph Hand of Tattnall Hospital, who was the attending hospitalist the night after the surgery. Mr. Rogers died of bleeding from the surgery, which could have been stopped if the surgeon had been called back soon enough. The hospital’s lawyers said it was an unrelated heart attack.
