Many young couples in Maryland and across the country enjoy spending time together in the company of their friends. Unfortunately, an evening turned into tragedy for a couple in another state who had been enjoying a night of dancing. A premises liability lawsuit filed in response to the incident claims that a young woman died because a company neglected to properly maintain a parking lot.

The incident happened during the early morning hours on a day in June 2019. A 23-year-old Marine was reportedly spending time with his 22-year-old wife and friends at Coyote Bar and Grill. As they were walking through the parking lot at the end of the night, the man was reportedly carrying his wife.

When people in Maryland are experiencing a great deal of pain or other symptoms of illness, they put their trust in doctors to discover and treat the cause. While most health care workers are experienced professionals, a mistake can have serious consequences. Unfortunately, a recently settled medical malpractice lawsuit claims that negligence was a factor in a woman's death.

The case involved the death of a 34-year-old woman. According to court documents, the woman visited an emergency room due to severe abdominal pain. Reports indicate that doctors performed surgery and endoscopy as a result of a stomach ulcer. A biopsy was taken during these procedures, but the lawsuit claims that doctors did not take a sufficient number of tissue samples and that the sample was taken from an incorrect location, resulting in an incorrect finding that the samples were benign.

In fact, a Maryland teenager was recently hospitalized following a pedestrian accident that happened while he was attempting to board a school bus.

The incident happened just after 7 a.m. on a day in mid-December. Reports indicate that the 17-year-old male victim was crossing the street at a crosswalk when he was struck by a vehicle. His goal, according to reports, was to board a school bus.

For many people in Maryland and across the United States, pets are considered a member of the family. However, no matter how much people may love their pets, they are ultimately expected to ensure that their animals do not cause harm to others.

The incident happened on a day in mid-November. Reports indicate that the 76-year-old victim was walking in a park when she was attacked by three pit bulls. Witnesses were able to break up the attack and notify police of the dogs' general location after they ran off. The victim was transported to the hospital.
