A U.S. Border Patrol agent severally injured last October after his Ford F250 pickup truck rolled over has filed suit against Ford Motor Company. The lawsuit, filed recently in Pima County Superior Court in Arizona alleges that while Agent Pena was responding to a narcotics call, his 2003 Ford pickup truck began to merge right and while Pena was trying to correct the truck's course, it turned sideways and then rolled over.

31 year old Agent Pena was trapped in the truck for some time following the rollover accident and is now a quadriplegic. It is alleged in the complaint that the pickup truck was defective and unreasonably dangerous. Even more troubling is the allegation in the complaint that Ford knew about the tendency of the truck to roll over and failed to disclose that to the public. Naturally, in addition to compensatory damages being sought, punitive damages are also being asked for.

Complaints by medical doctors have caused Zimmer Holdings to suspend sales of its artificial hip. Zimmer Holdings is the nation's largest maker of orthopedic devices. According to reports, various physicians have complained that the defective medical device, a hip socket known as the Duron cup, was not performing necessitating patients to undergo hip replacement surgery.

Zimmer claims that the medical device is not defective. However, some seasoned surgeons have found it difficult to implant calling into serious question whether the Zimmer artificial hip has a defective design. Even more troubling is data from interviews that suggests that hundreds of patients may need hip replacement surgery in coming years.

Crocs shoes are responsible for foot and toe injuries to at least four children so far this summer while on escalators at the Atlanta Airport. The injuries have occurred on the escalators at the airport and apparently the soft material of the shoes coupled with the design of the sole and exterior of the shoe, are responsible for children's crocs getting caught in the teeth of the escalator components when the children exit. The resulting injuries include broken and lacerated toes and other various parts of the foot.

In one case, one of the children need foot surgery.

If you or a loved one has injured their feet or toes while wearing crocs shoes and you would like info or assistance, I would invite you to please visit my website, www.samlevine.com or contact my law office, Sam Levine, Attorney at Law.
