On Friday, April 20th, firefighters responded to reports of a chemical odor at a Chicago Northwest Side grade school. At least five ambulances arrived at the school in the 2000 block of North Mobile during the EMS Plan 1 and a Level 1 Hazmat response.
First reports stated the odor smelled like pepper spray and came into Luther Burbank Elementary School through ventilation that takes in outside air. When the first responders arrived, there was no apparent evidence of the pepper spray but a meter reading showed that the air quality contained elements of pepper spray.
Several students were checked over by medical responders but none were deemed seriously injured. Two adult were taken to West Suburban Hospital Medical Center and Our Lady of the Resurrection Medical Center in good condition.
Dangerous chemicals move through the air and are not always visible. If you or a loved one knows someone who has experienced chemical poisoning, call Spiros Law at 8150929-9292 for experienced legal representation. Visit the website at www.spiroslaw.com.

A man was leaving a restaurant early that morning when he became involved in a verbal altercation with another person. The fifty-eight-year old man was apparently punched, which caused him to suffer bone fractures to the right side of his face along with severe brain bleeding and swelling.
He was taken to the Hospital where he unfortunately passed away the following morning. Investigation continues as to the cause of this incident.

Doctors and researchers at the University of Illinois College of Medicine are currently conducting a 12-month study in Urbana to see if a cooling helmet can help victims of traumatic brain injuries.
Because people do better in the morning when their temperatures are cooler, than in the night time when they rise, doctors wanted to see if the same cooling effect could help those who have suffered a brain injury.
A challenge that arises is that cooling down the rest of the body can be dangerous because it may negatively affect other organs. A doctor in Illinois teamed up with a NASA researcher to create a cooling helmet using NASA spin-off technology and is now testing it in Urbana.
If you or a loved one has suffered from a brain injury, this can change your life forever. Contact that Kankakee brain injury lawyers of Spiros Law, P.C., by calling 815-929-9292 today.
