On August 14, 2005, Emily Ordonez of Bayonne, New Jersey went to Bayonne Medical Center after experiencing the first pangs of labor. She arrived at 1:30 a.m. and all prenatal tests suggested that she would be delivering a healthy baby. Ten hours later, her son Jose was born but something was wrong. The child suffered what would become permanent brain damage after being injured at birth.
Ordonez and her family sued the former owners of the hospital for the birth injury and have agreed to an $8.5 million birth injury settlement. Insurance will pay the family $6 million to cover medical expenses and another $2.5 million for emotional and other damages. [ READ MORE ]

WASHINGTON—The Supreme Court ruled Monday that three foreign subsidiaries of Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. can’t be sued in a North Carolina court over a French bus accident that killed two of the state’s residents.
The case was one of two decided Monday that barred lawsuits against foreign companies in U.S. courts.
While the Goodyear decision was unanimous, the court split three ways in a second ruling that barred a New Jersey worker’s lawsuit against Nottingham, England-based J. McIntyre Machinery. That case presented different issues because the worker’s alleged injuries happened in New Jersey instead of overseas. [ READ MORE ]

At least 25 Alloderm lawsuits are currently filed throughout the state, and more complaints are expected, according to an Application for Mass Tort Designation [PDF] filed by plaintiffs with the New Jersey Supreme Court.
The product liability lawsuits allege that LifeCell, the manufacturer of Alloderm, designed a defective product and failed to warn the plaintiffs about the risk of problems from Alloderm or the true nature of the skin grafts. [ READ MORE ]

OCEANSIDE, N.Y. – Bodies began tumbling when a two-story red, white and blue inflatable slide went soaring into the air at a youth soccer tournament over the weekend. Two other inflatables also flew off the ground that breezy afternoon, causing youngsters to suffer bumps and bruises but critically injuring a mother who had an inflatable crash-land on her.
Fathers, coaches and bystanders sprinted toward the airborne amusement rides, some using knives to furiously stab the air-filled edifices before anyone else was injured on Saturday. “I never thought there would be any serious issues, any concerns with safety,” one father, Mike Perniches, later told The Associated Press. “But now, I’m like, forget it.” [ READ MORE ]
