A South Carolina man suffered serious head injuries on Saturday at Wildwood Park in Columbia County, Georgia after falling off a jet ski while a passenger. The victim, 21 year old Joel David McClennen, was airlifted to Medical College of Georgia for treatment following the jet ski accident.

While it is unknown what caused the jet ski accident, jet ski's have been the subject of wide-scale litigation involving allegations of defective design, some of which have been resolved in favor of the jet ski victim.

The Arkansas Supreme Court has given the green light to plaintiffs to move forward as a class in a pending product liability lawsuit against General Motors over allegedly defectively designed brakes.

The class representative is Boyd Bryant, a previous buyer of the defective brakes that he purchased from GM in September 2006.

In the product liability lawsuit, Bryant alleges that between 1999 and 2002, General Motors sold pickups and SUV's with parking brakes that were defectively designed. What is of an aggravating nature and what has given rise to a claim of punitive damages is that GM is believed to have known about the defective brakes as far back as 2000, but failed to notify dealerships until 2003, so that corrective action could be taken.

If you or a loved one has been affected, including injured or killed by defective brakes made by General Motors, I would invite you to visit my website, www.samlevine.com or contact my office, Sam Levine, Attorney at Law.

The family of a man killed by a Kugel Mesh Hernia Patch, made by Davol, has undertaken to warn others about the dangers of the defective medical device.

Aaron Menendez experienced a serious infection that led to his death this past September two years after the Kugel Mesh Hernia Patch had been surgically implanted. The defective product was actually recalled a short time after the implantation. Subsequent autopsy following Menendez' death confirmed that the defective Kugel Mesh Hernia Patch was the exact cause of death.

A wrongful death lawsuit is sure to follow.
