Insufficient surgical clip warnings lead to fatalities
Plant worker for Illinois-based steel company wins PTSD case

That delay can conflict with Illinois workers' compensation and insurance rules that impose deadlines on applications for workers' compensation benefits' claims.
Head trauma gives lucky man musical talent
Few are so lucky following an incident resulting in a concussion. One man who suffered a traumatic brain injury six years ago found afterwards that he suffered from headaches and had impaired hearing. But the strange thing was that he also suddenly became a full-fledged musical genius, which he had not been before. Many people in Illinois and nationwide who have heard his story marvel at it.
Fumes from deployed airbag killed motorist
Defects or malfunctions in vehicles can cause serious injuries or even death for motorists and their passengers. In Illinois and elsewhere, this has frequently resulted in a product liability lawsuit. In one case, a 59-year-old driver seemed to have escaped from a six-car pileup relatively uninjured, only to tragically die much later from deadly fumes he breathed in from his air bag when it properly deployed to protect him during the collision.

When a person's loved one is in an Illinois nursing home, the family should pay close attention to the conditions of the nursing home and how their loved one is being treated. If you lodge a complaint with the administration and do not see an improvement, notify the authorities or take legal action, as the nursing home abuse is likely to be affecting all residents.
