One New York woman was shopping for a wig, and she ended up having to file a personal injury lawsuit.

According to UPI, a mannequin head fell and landed on a woman's foot. After the injury, the victim's New York injury lawyer claims that his client has not been able to recover. In the lawsuit that was filed in the Supreme Court, the victim claimed that as she was sampling a wig at Baobo when a plastic mannequin head landed on her foot. She claims that severe nerve damage has left her foot in a bad state.

Kenneth Wilhelm, the victim's New York injury lawyer, said in a statement that "It just doesn't seem to be healing... At this point she can't make a fist with her toes. I've been doing this for 40 years and I don't recall anything like this."

The victim claims that the wig store was negligent because the environment was not "free of dangerous, hazardous, unsafe, traplike and defective conditions."

Poor Alexa Gonzalez. The cherub-faced 12 year old was handcuffed and marched to the precinct for doodling on her desk. 

And no, her doodles weren't malicious or incitative to violence.  Nor were they permanent.  They were innocent, erasable messages of peace, saying "I love my friends, Abby and Faith."  But New York public schools want to show that they're serious about their zero-tolerance policies, even if that means handcuffing an innocent twelve year old girl in front of students and faculty, as tears stream down her cheeks in emotional distress.  Of course, her New York injury attorney is crying 'foul' and promising a lawsuit will ensue in addition to the current ACLU civil rights lawsuit underway.

But Alexa hasn't been the sole New York student that has fallen victim to school security officers.

My Fox New York reports that the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) took a huge financial blow this week after they lost a personal injury lawsuit.

Two women, represented by their New York injury lawyer Herb Subin, were awarded $7.5 million dollars for the injuries that they suffered after the car they were riding in was struck by a city bus. 1010Wins reports that in 2005, the victims were riding in a car in the intersection of Ocean Parkway Service Road and Avenue U in Brooklyn when the car accident occurred.

According to SILive.com, a Willowbrook woman is suing a plastic surgeon for a breast deformity that developed after her breast implant surgery.

Maria Alaimo, 47, went to Dr. Berman seven years ago to receive a breast enhancement of 36 C cups. However after the surgery, Ms. Alaimo developed "double-bubble" deformities. Her New York injury lawyer told the court on Monday that, "Maria came out of that operation with essentially four breasts."

Her lawsuit details that this deformity caused her "pain... disability, loss of self-esteem, humiliation and embarrassment" in addition to a divorce from her husband. Her case concerning medical malpractice and negligence is being heard at the state Supreme Court in St. George. She is seeking $5 million dollars in damages from Dr. Berman. In addition, his staff and two internet companies that referred the doctor are included as defendants: My Choice Medical Inc. and 1-800-Be-Your-Best. My Medical Choice had Dr. Berman on their list of "the best doctors." They also received a referral fee after the victim committed to the surgery.

Toyota is facing another wrongful death lawsuit. Tyrene Livingston of New York died after her 2007 Toyota Yaris accelerated and crashed on Route 30, according to Market Watch. Now Ms. Livingston's mother has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Toyota Motor Corporation seeking general and punitive damages.

The injury lawyer representing Sandra Livingston, Tyrene Livingston's mother, explained the outline of her complaint:

"The complaint charges that Toyota for years was aware that its vehicles were susceptible to sudden unintended acceleration, leading to fatal accidents... Yet, Toyota never made any significant changes to improve the acceleration and electrical systems of its vehicles, in spite of the availability of several safe and inexpensive modifications."

The New York Daily News reports that a New Yorker is suing because he claims that a Zicam Cold Remedy Product caused him to lose his sense of smell.

Matrixx Initiatives, the makers of Zicam Cold Remedy Nasal Spray, is listed as the defendant in the lawsuit that was filed by the victim's New York injury lawyer at Manhattan Federal Court. The victim claims that after using the product from 2006 to 2009, he developed anosmia. Anosmia is the complete loss of the sense of smell, according to the Mayo Clinic. Now he has lost his sense of smell and taste. He claims that the injury is especially difficult for him because his former job as the director of operations at Art Food LLC required him to use those skills.

The lawsuit claims that Matrixx Initiatives was negligent to use zinc ions because they have been known to create anosmia since as early as 1937.

The Associated Press reports that an 88-year-old woman is suing Fairbanks Farms of New York for an E. coli infection.

The infected meat was purchased at a Shaw's grocery store in September of last year. She claims that she placed the meat in her freezer and then de-thawed and ate it in November. She claims that as a result of her eating the meat, she was hospitalized for a month.

The Associated Press reports that a Chicago man has filed a lawsuit against a New York company claiming that they are partially responsible for his illness.

The defendants in the lawsuit are Daniele International Inc. of Rhode Island, Wholesome Spice of New York and Mincing Overseas Spice Company of New Jersey. The plaintiff claims that the salami that he ate that was produced by these companies caused him to become sick. When he was tested by his doctor, the plaintiff claims that he "tested positive for the strain of bacteria implicated in the outbreak."

The Providence Journal reports that the salmonella outbreak caused Daniele to recall 1.2 million pounds of salami in January. The black-pepper-coated meat was linked to 230 sick people between the ages of an infant to the ripe old age of 93. These victims became ill between July 4, 2009, and January 24, 2010. Out of the 230 confirmed cases, 43 people needed to be taken to the hospital for care.

So far, the victim from Chicago and another man from Missouri are the only ones who have filed lawsuits against the companies. They are both using the same personal injury lawyer, Bill Marler.

The Associated Press reports that Anderson Cooper is being sued by his interior designer for a fall that she suffered while she was at his Greenwich Village firehouse. Mr. Cooper, the anchor of Anderson Cooper 360° on CNN, bought the former firehouse located at 84 West Third Street in New York City in 2006. He has not yet filed renovation plans with New York City, however, he had hired the 29-year-old woman to help with the designs. Mr. Cooper was planning on transforming the firehouse into a home.

As a result of the fall on September 22, the victim is claiming that she now suffers from severe and permanent injuries. Those injuries, however, were not described by her New York injury lawyer.

A New York injury lawyer is now representing Tyreik Bowers, the 10-year-old boy who was beaten up at his school. He claims that the real bully is the school aide who allegedly had an older student seek out the boy and pummel him.

The New York Daily News reports that Sanford Rubenstein, the family's New York injury lawyer, filed a notice to sue New York City for $2 million as a result of the boy's attack. He said, "If any school personnel committed a crime, particularly endangering the welfare of a minor, they must be held accountable."

WPIX reports that the attack in question took place after the boy got into an argument with a fourth-grade girl. The girl allegedly said something about his mother, and he threatened to hit her if she ever said it again. The reports state that after hearing the threat, a school aide, Ayodele Sandiford, told the girl to repeat what she had said. Following her comment, the boy punched the girl.
