U.S. Supreme Court to hear vaccine case
March 10, 2010
For most of their 18-year-old daughter Hannah’s life, Russell and Robalee Bruesewitz have been engaged in legal battle over compensation for her seizure disorder, which they believe was caused by a vaccine.
On Monday, the Mt. Lebanon family learned that they’ll be taking their fight to the highest level.

Steve Albala, who was 60 at the time of the accident, was on his motorcycle helping to officiate the bicycle portion of the triathlon. A traffic officer motioned for a vehicle to enter an intersection into the volunteer’s path, causing the accident, Albala’s attorney contended in the lawsuit.

A Butler County couple on Monday filed a lawsuit against Target, claiming that an improperly marketed wicker trunk that they used as a toy chest trapped their 18-month-old daughter’s neck, leaving her in a persistent vegetative state.
Eric and Laura Surman, of Cranberry, allege that Target should either have made the chest safe by inserting a lid support in it, or labeled it as inappropriate for use as a child’s toy box.
The family is seeking punitive damages and cites Target’s blatant disregard for safety.
