Attorney James Sabatini secured a $175,000.00 judgment for his client in a dog attack case. The unleashed dog knocked the client off her bicycle causing multiple injuries including a knee injury that required surgical repair. The dog did not bite our client. Under Connecticut law, dog owners are required to keep their dogs under control in public areas. If a dog is not under proper control in a public space such as a street, park or sidewalk and the dog causes injury to a person (who is not tormenting or abusing the dog), the owner or keeper of the dog is responsible for the person’s injuries.

Sabatini and Associates has been retained for a personal injury case involving a fractured elbow. The injury was caused by an accumulation of ice on a residential driveway. Property owners have the legal responsibility under Connecticut law to make reasonable efforts to clear snow and ice from their walkways. Such reasonable efforts include shoveling or plowing the snow and sanding the ice. While the property owner is under no legal requirement to sand and salt during an active storm or snowfall, once the precipitation ends, the property owner is then responsible for snow and ice removal within a reasonable time.

Legal claims are being brought by injured women who have undergone surgery to implant transvaginal mesh and pelvic/bladder support medical devices.
Transvaginal mesh and pelvic/bladder support medical devices are used to treat stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and pelvic organ prolapse (POP). These two conditions result in the weakening of of the pelvic region – a common problem after a hysterectomy or childbirth.
On July 13, 2011, the FDA released a medical alert after receiving reports of over 1500 cases where the use of transvaginal mesh and pelvic/bladder support devices caused serious injury to women. The FDA warned physicians that: (1) in most instances the risk of serious injury outweighed all purported benefits associated with the medical devices; (2) traditional procedures that do not use polypropylene mesh devices should be the primary course of treatment; and (3) the implantation of vaginal mesh/pelvic devices should be limited to last resort treatment cases. The reported injuries that these devices are inflicting upon women include:
1. Erosion of mesh into the vagina
2. Serious infection
3. Urinary problems
4. Pelvic pain
5. Vaginal pain
6. Hardening of the mesh
7. Injury to nearby organs
8. Painful intercourse
9. Recurrence of pelvic organ prolapse and stress urinary incontinence
10. Perforations created by the mesh in the bowel, bladder and/or blood vessels
11. Vaginal scarring and other complications
A recent clinical study was conducted to determine the safety of these products. The study was stopped because the problems being seen in the study in patients were too severe. More than 15% of the women in the study experienced the dangerous and painful condition known as “erosion” of the vaginal tissue in which the skins splits and the mesh protrudes. Sabatini and Associates, LLC is actively investigating legal claims on behalf of women who are alleging serious injuries associated with vaginal mesh and the firm is currently accepting new clients involving transvaginal mesh and pelvic/bladder support products.
