If the fracture is not dislocated, it can be missed on a plain film x-ray so that CT scan of the head and face needs to be done if there is a high index of suspicion of condylar fractures.

fugitive was wanted on an outstanding felony warrant for a probation violation related to (e.g., tooth brushing, flossing and nutritional counseling) In opposition, the plaintiffs failed to raise a triable issue of fact (see Alvarez v. Prospect Hosp., 68 N.Y.2d 320, 324, 508 N.Y.S.2d 923, 501 N.E.2d 572; Zuckerman v. City of New York, 49 N.Y.2d 557, 562, 427 N.Y.S.2d 595, 404 N.E.2d 718). The proof tendered by the plaintiffs which consisted of excerpts from the deposition testimony of, among others, the plaintiffs' decedent, and an eyewitness's affidavit, constituted mere speculation and inadmissible hearsay as to the condition of the floor. Therefore, it was insufficient to raise a triable issue of fact as to the cause of the accident (see Bielak v. Plainville Farms, 299 A.D.2d 900, 750 N.Y.S.2d 729; Grant v. Radamar Meat, 294 A.D.2d 398, 399, 742 N.Y.S.2d 349; Wilbur v. Wilbur, 266 A.D.2d 535, 536, 699 N.Y.S.2d 103; Agoglia v. Sterling Foster & Co., 237 A.D.2d 549, 550, 655 N.Y.S.2d 636).

�19 The Attorney General states that "while the most common off-label protocols involve some combination of mifepristone and misoprostol, other off-label protocols involve the use of methotrexate followed by misoprostol, and others yet involve the use of just misoprostol or just methotrexate." Petitioners' Brief in Chief at 9, n.18 (emphasis added). The Legislature specifically referenced both misoprostol and methotrexate in the definition of an abortion-inducing drug: "This includes off-label use of drugs known to have abortion-inducing properties, which are prescribed specifically with the intent of causing an abortion, such as misoprostol (Cytotec), and methotrexate." We find that both misoprostol and methotrexate are abortion-inducing drugs as the term is used in Subsection A; therefore, under the plain language of Subsection C of the statute, the off-label use of both misoprostol and methotrexate is prohibited.14 Forgive me for the shameless plug, but this case is EXACTLY why we need the Parental Rights Amendment ( )!!

November 11, 2005 � Longtime Brownsville dentist Dr. Harold Hugh Emerson never gave up and never quit. He died Monday at 85 years of age after a lengthy illness. (Nov 11, 2005) In the present case it was error to hear the motion for summary judgment on the morning of trial. Even though the plaintiffs' counsel had not employed an expert witness to testify that defendant's conduct fell below the standard of care, it was premature to decide there would be no genuine issue of fact in this respect. The trial court erred in refusing to await the development of the evidence. The proper point to have addressed this issue would have been on motion for a directed verdict. Illinois has a modified comparative fault system. This means that plaintiffs can only recover if there negligence regarding the incident was less than 50% responsible for their injuries, and their recovery will be reduced by the amount of their culpability.

Chicago, IL (Law Firm Newswire) October 30, 2014 - Here is a real shock: America's own health care system is the third leading cause of death in the nation. The reality of medical errors in the United States is truly frightening. As estimates continue to rise predicting how often errors by health care providers result in death, it is increasingly clear that the extent of medical malpractice is severely underreported, said Paul Greenberg, a Chicago medical malpractice attorney with the firm Briskman Briskman & Greenberg.

I agree with you, Navigio: students can't learn very effectively when their basic physical needs are not being met. On the other hand, Involved Parent has a point: parents (should) bear ultimate responsibility for the physical wellbeing of their own children. Considering the unique set of facts before us, we look to the Certain Remedy Clause of the West Virginia Constitution to determine the effect of public policy upon the application of the borrowing statute to the circumstances presented in the instant case. Pursuant to the Certain Remedy Clause, ?the courts of this State shall be open, and every person, for an injury done to him, in his person, property or reputation, shall have remedy by due course of law; and justice shall be administered without sale, denial or delay.? W.�Va. Const. Art. III, � 17. In other words, ?when a legislative enactment either substantially impairs vested rights or severely limits existing procedural remedies permitting court adjudication of cases, then the certain remedy provision of Article III, Section 17 of the West Virginia Constitution is implicated.? Syl. pt. 6, in part, Gibson v. West Virginia Dep't of Highways, 185 W.�Va. 214, 406 S.E.2d 440 (1991). See also Syl. pt. 5, Lewis v. Canaan Valley Resorts, Inc., 185 W.�Va. 684, 408 S.E.2d 634 (1991) (setting out two-part analysis for determining if legislation implicates Certain Remedy Clause). Thus, the Certain Remedy Clause prevents application of a statute that improperly denies a citizen his or her right to seek redress in the courts of this State for injuries received in West Virginia. See, e.g., Kyriazis v. University of West Virginia, 192 W.�Va. 60, 450 S.E.2d 649 (1994) (finding anticipatory release that served as absolute bar to injury claims by rugby player violated Certain Remedy Clause). (See footnote 10) Discipline is enforced by confinement in one of two cells in the basement of the jail. These cells are of masonry construction, totally unfurnished, without drains or sanitary facilities of any kind. One of them is lighted by a single bare bulb. The other is unlighted. Until the preliminary hearing in this case, it was customary to strip any prisoner who was placed in either of these disciplinary cells, although they are below ground level and unheated. Even women prisoners were sometimes stripped before being placed in one of these cells. Since that time, stripping has been discontinued. On occasions, more than one prioner at a time would be placed in these cells. The high number was sixteen or seventeen men. The length of confinement varies, and the evidence upon it was conflicting. Defendants testified the large group of men was confined less than ten hours. Plaintiffs testified this group was confined there for forty-two hours. The discipline of this confinement is imposed indiscriminately upon convicted prisoners and persons being detained pending trial. It is imposed arbitrarily and without any sort of notice, hearing, or findings, with no right to counsel or assistance in refuting the charges. There was some slight evidence indicating that the decision was supposed to be made after investigation by a different branch of the Sheriff's department, and by a different official than the officer complaining of the offense. It is doubtful at best whether these matters rise to a minimum standard of due process and fair treatment.
