Alton Memorial Hospital, Dr. John Wueller, and Dr. Christopher Cruz are being sued after they failed to treat a patient for a staph infection, resulting in his death. Jeffery Monroe was rushed to the emergency room in 2006 when he began to have chest pains, stiff neck, headache, and high temperatures.

Jeffrey’s wife, Sandra Monroe, informed the doctors of all of Jeffrey’s existing medical conditions, such as being a diabetic. After several tests, the doctors diagnosed the patient with the flu and pneumonia and perscribed him antibotics accordingly. Sandra claims that the medical staff discovered that Jeffrey actually was suffering from a staph infection and did nothing to alert the Monroes that he needed additional medical attention.

Jeffrey’s wife claims in the lawsuit that it took the doctor’s so long to diagnose the staph infection that by the time they had decided the proper diagnosis for Jeffrey, the infection had become severe and ultimately took his life.

The Monroe is suing for the lost services, companionship, guidance, and support of Jeffrey. They are seeking damages in the excess of $150,000.

Cheryl Romo and Christopher Crane have filed a personal injury lawsuit against Larry Langendorf, when his dog attacked their daughter at a neighborhood garage sale. Romo and Crane seek damages in the excess of $200,000 for their daughter’s injuries.

Amber, the couple’s daughter, was attacked and bitten numerous times when the family was attending Langendorf’s yard sale. The bites have caused serious injuries to the girl’s face and body. The couple claims that Langendorf was negligent and failed to properly cage or leash the dog. They claim that Langendorf was aware that a yard sale would bring people unknown to the dog near the animal and he should have been more careful to protect the patrons of his yard sale from the nervous animal. His failure to control his dog and failure to warn patrons that his dog was not on a leash caused the couple’s daughter severe injuries.

Amber suffered injuries to her face, neck, and back. She also has scarring around her forehead, right eye, mouth, and right cheek.
