The crash, while injuring more than 35 people, was coming from Bristol, PA carrying students from A Dream for a Dream Foundation based in Bristol, PA that provides opportunities for at risk youth in the Philadelphia area. A 17 year old remains in critical condition and was listed as having “life threatening injuries” while 3 other passengers were listed as having serious injuries.

Exeter Hospital Experiencing Large Hepatitis C Outbreak
State investigators in New Hampshire are investigating a possible outbreak of Hepatitis C at Exeter Hospital after numerous patients tested positive for the identical strain of the disease.
Hepatitis C is a possible fatal liver disease that can be spread through blood exposure. According to the Union Leader, all of the patients infected received care at the hospital’s cardiac catheterization lab. As of June 12, 2012, New Hampshire health officials were still exploring all possibilities for the cause of the outbreak.
Among the scenarios being explored by the Division of Public Health Services is that an employee infected with Hepatitis C may have transmitted the virus to patients by abusing narcotics and then injecting patients with a used syringe.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, this type of scenario has happened in three medical facilities in the United States over the last decade.
As of Monday, June 11, 2012, 14 people were linked to the outbreak at Exeter Hospital. According to Bangor Daily News, Dr. Jose Montero, New Hampshire’s public health director, state officials are looking at three main areas: One is the hospital’s procedures for preventing infections, managing narcotics and disposing of medications; the second is how well employees comply with the hospital guidelines in those areas; and third, the potential that hospital narcotics were abused by an employee who then spread Hepatitis C to patients using a contaminated syringe.

In Massachusetts the wrongful death law allows recovery of very specific and broad elements of damages. It’s important to know that you may have potentially punitive damages awarded to you by a court and you may also be entitled to what’s called economic damages: lost wages, loss of future earning capacity. You’re entitled to be reimbursed for funeral expenses, you’re entitled to be reimbursed for medical bills, you’re entitled to be paid for noneconomic damages, pain and suffering, consciousness pain and suffering. How long did the loved one live after the incident before they passed on? Those are all elements that a court would look at to quantify or value a case.

In Massachusetts to proceed with a wrongful death claim, a wrongful death action it has to be shown that the death resulted from or was caused by the negligence of another party. Whether it was due to a car accident, the typical negligence standards would apply whether or not that person passed on. You still have to prove liability; you have to prove who is at fault. If it is a medical malpractice claim you have to show that the doctor was acting outside of the standard of care. There still a legal requirement that has to be made under a wrongful death claim. The presentation of it is different and the beneficiaries are different.

The number one mistake that I see in the state of Massachusetts following the death of a loved one is not conducting an inquiry or investigation as to the circumstances of that particular incident. For example, if someone dies while they’re at a nursing home or a nursing facility often times people or family members just assume that it was that person’s time to go and that may not be true. There may be a lack of communication at that nursing facility or a lack of care at that nursing facility. It’s very important when somebody dies to conduct an inquiry, to ask those questions, to find out what actually happened no matter where it occurs or how it occurs.
