The Yost Legal Group launches new TV commercial To Help Parents of Infants With Cerebral Palsy

Posted on by YostLaw

The CDC estimates that about 10,000 babies born every year in the United States suffer from cerebral palsy. What’s even more heartbreaking is that many of these cases are the result of a medical mistake by a doctor, nurse or other medical professional.

The Yost Legal Group works closely with parents of infants and young children diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy to help them to understand and pursue their legal rights if negligence was involved.
This commercial highlights how The Yost Legal Group investigates cases involving traumatic birth injuries and works to secure answers regarding every detail of your child’s birth injury or cerebral palsy diagnosis.

Cerebral palsy can be caused by obstetrical errors, such as:

• Failure to recognize signs of fetal distress
• Improper use of forceps
• Failure to perform a timely C-section
• Improper administration of medications
• Negligence in monitoring and treating newborns
• And more.

Bringing a child into this world should be one of the most gratifying, exciting times of your life but unfortunately this is not always the case. The Yost Legal Group has been helping parents handle serious traumatic birth injury claims for the past 30 years.

Construction Accidents Are Common

Posted on by YostLaw

One of the largest industries in the country is the construction industry.  There are thousands of workers who risk their lives daily to build our nations roadways, office buildings and housing developments. Construction is a dangerous profession and hundreds of accidents occur each year.

The most common causes of injury and death on construction sites are:

–           Falls
–          Struck by object
–          Electrocutions
–          Being caught and pinned between objects
–          Scaffolding accidents
–          Explosions
–          Machinery malfunction
–          Vehicle accidents

There are deafening loud noise, large machinery and heavy equipment on most construction sites. One cannot guarantee a safe work environment, even if every precaution is taken. In order to be as safe as possible on a construction site, follow these simple safety guidelines:

–          Stay aware of your environment
–          Wear protective clothing and eyewear
–          Make sure the site you are working on has all up-to-date licenses and permits
–          Make sure appropriate Workers’ Compensation insurance is available

Employees injured in a construction site accident are entitled to receive workers’ compensation benefits that cover lost wages, medical expenses and any type of disability that arises for the work injury.

However, these benefits do not cover all the expenses faced by an injured worker.  If the accident is traced to another cause, such as the manufacturer of equipment or a contractor responsible for the jobsite, the employee can file a personal injury lawsuit.

Distracted Driving Accidents Are Avoidable

Posted on by YostLaw

Crash! A motor vehicle accident can occur in an instant. One minute you are driving down the road, minutes from your final destination, and then out of nowhere, you are sideswiped by another car. As it turns out, the other driver was checking her hair in the mirror and took her eyes off the road in order to do so.

Distracted driving accidents are all too common in Maryland, and the personal injury lawyers at The Yost Legal Group have represented many victims of these types of accidents.

Most distracted driving accidents are avoidable if drivers would obey the rules of the road and follow the necessary safety precautions while driving.

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention reports that in the United States, 9 people are killed and 1,060 people are injured every day in crashes that involve a distracted driver.

There are three main types of distractions while driving.  These include:

–          Visual: taking your eyes off the road
–          Manual: taking your hands off the wheel
–          Cognitive: taking your mind off the task of driving

While talking and texting on cell phones are common sources of distracted driving, there are many other instances, such as; changing the radio station, eating, conversing with passengers, grooming oneself, and small children or pets who disrupt your attention while driving.

Distracted driving statistics in Maryland are astounding. The Maryland Department of Transportation and Motor Vehicle Administration reports the following:

–          In 2011 a total of 231 people were killed and 29,050 others were injured in distracted driving                accidents.
–          In 2011, 30% of the total distracted driver-involved crashes were rear-end collisions.
–          11% of all drivers under the age of 20 involved in fatal crashes were reported as distracted at                 the time of the crash. This age group has the largest proportion of drivers who were distracted.
