The following is a description of a personal injury case we have filed. This is a case involving medical malpractice by Ralph Levy M.D. & South Broward Cardiology.

On the date of the accident, Dr. Levy and South Broward Cardiology Consultants examined and rendered medical care and treatment to our client, Mr. Katz, the now deceased husband of Mrs. Katz.

Mr. Katz previously had been treated by Dr. Levy at South Broward Cardiology Consultants, P.A.

At the time of the appointment, Dr. Levy and South Broward Cardiology Consultants knew or should have known that Mr. Katz EKG clearly showed a significant change from his prior EKG and was consistent with hyper acute T-waves and, with the symptoms presented by the patient at that time, would be consistent with the steps of myocardial infarction.

The standard of care would have been to immediately render care and treatment which should have included but was limited to: admitting Mr. Katz to the hospital immediately after that examination. Dr. Levy and South Broward Cardiology Consultants failed to properly care for and treat Mr. Katz.

As a result of Dr. Levy and South Broward Cardiology Consultants’ negligence, on the day after his examination, Mr. Katz suffered a massive heart attack and died.

RAMP WITH CODE VIOLATIONS AT NOVA SOUTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY CAUSES PERSONAL INJURY TO CAMPUS GUEST

Posted under: Injuries — Laurel Chernoby @ 4:05 am

ROBERTSON v. NOVA SOUTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY, INC.

The following is a description of a personal injury case we have filed. This is a case involving a personal injury caused by Nova Southeastern University, Inc.

Our client, Mrs. Robertson, was on the premises to assist a Portuguese speaking patient at Nova Southeastern University Health Center and to provide translation services for her Portuguese speaking friend. After providing those services, Mrs. Robertson went to the cafeteria in the health center to eat lunch. She, and others, ate outside on tables and chairs on a terrace, which is contiguous to the cafeteria. Nova had provided those tables and chairs on the terrace for the public. After she ate, Mrs. Robertson exited the terrace by walking down a sidewalk, which led to the parking lot. She walked down the sidewalk and tripped and lost her balance and fell on a makeshift, dilapidated wooden ramp, which apparently had been placed some time ago at the edge of the sidewalk. Mrs. Robertson did not see the ramp because the ramp was not painted any color to offset it from the sidewalk or roadway, and because the ramp was not striped to make the ramp and its slope visible and apparent to pedestrians.

Further, Mrs. Robertson tripped on the ramp because its edges were straight and not sloped and, accordingly, the ramp was in violation of the South Florida Building Code; and because the ramp was wooden and deteriorating. That ramp caused Mrs. Robertson to trip and fall, causing a significant fracture of the radius and a tear of the cartilage above the ulna. As a result of these injuries, Mrs. Robertson has undergone three surgical procedures, has incurred medical expenses and is left with permanent disabilities and pain.

On the date and time of the accident, Carnival Corporation knew that substances such as suntan lotion, oil, and water were on the stairway from the hot tub to the Lido, and that the steps were soapy. Carnival knew that this area would be wet and slippery and/or soapy and yet chose tiles for this area which are not appropriate and are especially slippery and had improper material used for the edges of the steps. Carnival allowed the foreign substances such as suntan lotion, oil, soap, and water to exist on the steps without cleaning it up thereby posing a slipping hazard to passengers, such as our client, Ms. Sedaghati, who would be walking down the step. In addition, Carnival failed to have proper matting at the top and bottom of the steps and failed to have proper skid resistant materials on the steps.

In fact, on the day and time of the accident our client, Ms. Sedaghati, did walk down the steps and slipped and fell suffering severe, debilitating, and permanent injuries including torn ligaments in both the left and right wrist, bulging discs in her back, and a fractured coccyx.

NEGLIGENT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AT MIAMI RESTAURANT RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY TO PATRON AND UNBORN CHILD

Posted under: Injuries — Laurel Chernoby @ 4:09 am

HUGUES v. BAYSHORE RESTAURANT

The following is a description of a personal injury case we have filed. This is a case involving a personal injury resulting from the negligence of Bayshore Restaurant Management Corp.

The accident occurred on the entrance wooden ramp of Monty’s Raw Bar located at 2550 South Bayshore Drive, Miami, Florida 33133. Bayshore Restaurant Management failed to maintain and repair the ramp over which customers are required to walk to access the restaurant’s seating area. The ramp was dilapidated and in disrepair. The planks were uneven, thereby exposing tripping and slipping safety hazards and unsafe ingress and egress to its customers, including our client, Ms. Hugues.

Bayshore Restaurant Management Corp also failed to cordon off the area or provide any signage or other means of warning to patrons, including Ms. Hugues, that the area was dangerous and not safe to walk. Bayshore Restaurant Management Corp created this or allowed this dangerous condition to exist for an extended period of time and allowed the area to remain un-lit and without warning or blockade, thus causing Ms. Hugues to trip then slip and fall and suffer serious and debilitating injuries to herself and to her unborn child.
