Adams and a friend were at the Applebees on Pleasant Hill Road in Duluth and were cheering on the San Francisco 49ers, when a fan of the New Orleans Saints became offended and they got into an argument. The Saints fan appeared belligerent and was seen taking a pill before he left the restaurant.

The shooter, identified by Gwinnett County police as Donald Ayro, left the restaurant. More than an hour later, around 6:30 p.m., Adams left the restaurant. As he was getting into his car, Adams was shot by Ayro. The shot only grazed the top of his head. Adams’ friend Chris Middleton was shot in the chest, and is in critical condition. Middleton had recently moved back to Atlanta from Los Angeles.

Adams later identified the shooter. Ayro was charged with aggravated assault and several weapons charges.

An April 2011 National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) report indicates that the number of traffic-related fatalities in 2010 was the lowest since 1949. There are several theories why traffic deaths were so low: increased education about the dangers of drunk driving, improved road design, and better and more safely designed automobiles.

While these numbers are encouraging, there are still many unnecessary deaths caused as a result of automobile collisions. If you or anyone you know are injured as a result of the negligence of another driver, please call us for a free consultation.

The accident happened in the early morning hours after a July 4th party. Byram’s estate filed a wrongful death lawsuit in Federal Court, claiming Reneham was intoxicated and driving too fast and recklessly, causing the death of Byram. The lawsuit also alleged that Reneham’s family “continuously” served Byram, Reneham, and their friends alcohol leading up to the accident.

The FDA warns of just such a problem at the Novartis AG manufacturing plant in Nebraska, according to the Wall Street Journal from January 10, 2012. Pharmacy errors are all too common. A diabetic is prescribed heart a medication. Birth control pills are replaced with anti-anxiety medication. These types of errors can be deadly.

In one case we handled, a prescription error resulted in our clients’ colliding into a stationary object and in a three-day hospital stay. The problem was due to a pharmacist providing the wrong medication to our client.

When the mix-up happens at a drug manufacturing plant it compounds the problems.

Some in the industry have attempted to reduce the number of pharmacy errors by describing what the pill looks like on the pharmacy insert. This is a good idea. One should also check that the number of pills corresponds to the number of pills specified on the label. In the event of any confusion, you should immediately contact your pharmacist and healthcare provider.

In the event that you were injured due to a pharmacy mix-up, please contact the attorneys at Krause Golomb & Witcher LLC.

The two victims were identified as 56-year-old Mary Benson of Rossville Georgia and her mother, 76-year-old Charlotte Johnson of Chattanooga. The two women were visiting a relative who was in the intensive care unit of the hospital. The shooter told the women “they’d be sorry” before pulling a handgun from his pocket and fatally firing.

The shooter, identified as James Benson, was separated from his wife. He was a security guard. He was licensed to carry a firearm, and had no criminal history. He had been seen at the hospital earlier in the week arguing with his wife, but was not felt to be a threat.

In response to the shooting the hospital added extra unarmed security guards.
