New Drug May Help Victims Of Traumatic Brain Injuries

justice4you June 26, 2014

The University of Cincinnati is spearheading a national clinical trial to identify whether a medicine called Tranexamic Acid (TXA) can improve the conditions of individuals with severe and life-threatening Traumatic Brain Injuries (TB). Researchers are hopeful that the new drug, which is currently used to stabilize bleeding in victims with conditions ranging from aneurysms and liver transplantation, will improve the lives of those with TBI. The study is designed to test whether TXA, if given to TBI victims immediately after an injury, can improve patients mental recovery. University of Cincinnati’s sprawling hospital and trauma center make them a perfect venue to test whether TBI trauma victims with quick exposure to TXA recover more fully or more quickly than their counterparts

Truck Accident

A 20-year-old man who had been married for just 12 days left home on his way to work. He was driving on Pleasant Grove Road in Sutter County in the early morning when he came upon a slow-moving truck. As he pulled out to pass the truck, the truck driver turned left in front of him. The young man attempted to steer back into his lane but his vehicle struck an un-flagged piece of metal extending from the back of the truck. He died in the resulting crash.

Expert witnesses brought in by the Arnold Law Firm proved that the truck, owned and operated by a hauling firm, should never have been on the highway that morning. Specifically, the rear and side turn signals did not work and the rear-view mirror was in a poor state of adjustment at the time of the collision. As a result, the driver, who had failed to properly inspect the vehicle before setting out that morning, couldn’t see the young man’s vehicle as it attempted to pass.

The poor condition of the truck, its lack of maintenance and the manner in which it was operated were found to be substantial factors in causing the collision that killed the young man. The testimony also established that the man had been making a lawful pass at the lawful speed limit and acted reasonably when he attempted to avoid the collision.

The man’s 20-year-old widow was awarded $3,767,000.77, his parents were awarded $185,131 and the family was reimbursed $11,899 in funeral expenses. Though money is a poor substitute for a young man’s life, this verdict demonstrates that drivers who endanger the lives of others will be held accountable for their actions.
