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.

Be Careful Swimming This Summer – Pool Safety Is Important

Posted on by YostLaw

Last week, a man tragically lost his life when he drowned at the Maryland Beaver Dam Swimming Club. Unfortunately, this is a common event during the heat of the summer months, when men, women and children flock to pools and water parks to cool off.  It is important to follow all safety regulations when swimming in order to prevent these horrific accidents.

Beaver Dam Swimming Club has been the site of a number of drownings. In 2001, a 20-year-old man died in the water. And in 2002, the club was ordered to pay more than $700,000 to the family of a 24-year-old victim. It was in a Baltimore County circuit court in 2002 where the family was awarded $760,000 in a $2 million lawsuit against the club after they claimed the staff was negligent in their response to find the victim.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) reports that nearly 400 children drown in a pool each year, with 75 percent of those incidents involving children younger than 5. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, children between the ages of 1 and 3 and African-American children between the ages 5 and 19 are most likely to drown. The CPSC has initiated a Pool Safelycampaign. Pool Safely is a national public education effort to reduce drowning.

The CPSC’s Top 10 Tips to Stay Safe Around the Pool and Spa:

1.   Never leave a child unattended in or around a pool
2.   Teach children basic water safety tips
3.   If a child is missing, first look in the pool
4.   Keep children away from pool drains
5.   Ensure all pool drain covers comply with federal standards
6.   Learn how to swim and teach your children to swim
7.   Learn how to perform CPR on children and adults
8.   Install a 4-foot or taller fence around the perimeter of the pool
9.   Install lockable safety cover on your spa
10. Have lifesaving equipment easily accessible

Swimming pools can pose serious dangers and accidents are far too common.
