Stevens Johnson Syndrome Impacts Young and Old Alike
19 May 2012 at 11:00am
Newquay, UK: If there is one thing about Stevens Johnson Syndrome, it is not a respecter of demographics and spares no one, regardless of age. To that end, a young boy in England had his life cut short due to a large extent from the fallout from a disease that affects the skin and replicates a serious burn. On the other end of the scale, an 88-year-old man in otherwise manageable health was cut down by SJS

FDA Issues New Information on Fosamax and other Bisphosphonates
18 May 2012 at 12:30pm
Washington, DC: Despite having won the majority of Fosamax lawsuits that have so far made their way to trial, the maker of Fosamax might be concerned about a recent FDA analysis concerning Fosamax side effects and the side effects of other drugs in the bisphosphonate class. In fact, the analysis, brought about by concerns about links between Fosamax and femur fractures and other side effects, suggested that long-term use of bisphosphonates may not be beneficial

Is There a New Indication for Actos in the Works?
18 May 2012 at 10:00am
Washington, DC: As litigation surrounding Actos bladder cancer continues to heat up, Actos manufacturer Takeda Pharmaceuticals is facing another challenge?the expiry, in a little over three months, of patent protection for Actos. When that happens, various generics by other manufacturers of pioglitazone (Actos) will flood the market with cheaper alternatives to Actos.

NuvaRing Attorney: "We Allege Contraceptive Makers Did Not Warn About Risks"
17 May 2012 at 5:30pm
Dallas, TX: Women who suffered NuvaRing side effects may be eligible to join a NuvaRing lawsuit, alleging the makers of the contraceptive did not adequately warn about the NuvaRing dangers. Such dangers reportedly include an increased risk of stroke and venous thromboembolism. Dr. Shezad Malik, founder of the Dr. Shezad Malik law firm, says lawsuits are still in the early stages, so it is not too late for women?or the families of women who died after using the birth control to file their own lawsuits.

Study Suggests SSRI Publication Bias
17 May 2012 at 12:30pm
San Diego, CA: A recent study, suggesting that SSRI medications may not be effective in treating behaviors associated with autism, may add to the confusion about using SSRI medications while pregnant. Women who are concerned about Paxil side effects and the risk of Paxil birth defects when infants are exposed to SSRIs before birth may have more reason for concern about Paxil heart defects with the publication of the study

Yasmin Lawsuit Settlement Update
17 May 2012 at 10:00am
Richmond, VA: Although Bayer is currently settling thousands of Yasmin lawsuits, Yaz and Yasmin attorneys say it isn't too late to file a Yasmin claim. As of April 26, the drug company says it has settled 651 cases and thousands more are pending

"Multaq Not a Very Safe Drug"
16 May 2012 at 10:00am
Louisville, KY: Any doctor will tell you that every drug has side effects?including heart drug Multaq. In fact, Multaq side effects are compelling. But even though the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has Multaq under a microscope and issued a cautionary statement about dronedarone (Multaq) as recently as February, the agency is resisting any effort to request a Multaq recall.

Health Canada Issues Warning on Hip and Knee Replacement Failure
15 May 2012 at 3:30pm
Toronto, Canada: Health Canada has joined other agencies and experts in warning about the risks associated with hip and knee replacement implant failure.

15 May 2012 at 10:00am
Parkersburg, WV: Tami is a single mother trying to make ends meet, so getting a bill for ER overcharges to the tune of $18,000 was the last thing she needed. "I'm going to call the hospital and make a $5 payment so they can't send it to a collection agency," says Tami

Owner Pleads Guilty in Bad Faith Insurance Lawsuit
14 May 2012 at 3:30pm
Wentzville, MO: With the high number of expensive products and appliances consumers buy these days, it is no wonder that some people turn to home warranty insurance and home warranty companies to provide an extended warranty for their purchases. The problem, however, is when these companies commit bad faith insurance by denying legitimate claims, or commit fraud by not honoring their contracts

Please Stop Trying to 'Friend' and 'Connect' With Fla. State Court Judges
by Bruce Carton
18 May 2012 at 3:25pm
Florida's Judicial Ethics Advisory Committee opined back in 2009 that it was not permissible for a judge to approve a lawyer who may appear before the judge as a "friend" on a social networking site such as Facebook. Nearly three years later, another judge asked the committee a related question: What about LinkedIn? The specific question before the committee -- and its unequivocal answer in an opinion (via Legal Profession Blog) this week -- was as follows: Whether a judge may add lawyers who may appear before the judge as "connections" on the professional networking site, Linked In, or permit such lawyers to add the judge as their "connection" on that site? ANSWER: No. The Inquiring Judge argued that there should be a distinction between Facebook, "where family and other personal relationships are fostered," and LinkedIn, which the judge said was "for the purpose of conducting professional networking." The Inquiring Judge submitted that unlike Facebook, "a judge's connection on LinkedIn with lawyers who may appear before the judge does not reasonably convey the impression to the public that a personal relationship of any kind necessarily exists between them." The committee disagreed, stating that Florida Judicial Canon 2B prohibits a judge...
Friday's Three Burning Legal Questions
by Bruce Carton
18 May 2012 at 3:18pm
Here are today's three burning legal questions, along with the answers provided by the blogosphere. 1) Question: So what, we get drunk ... and have sex in the back of Dubai taxis. We're livin' young, and wild and free! What are they going to do, throw me in jail? Answer: Yes. (Daily Mail, British woman faces jail for 'sex in backseat of Dubai taxi after all-day drinking binge') 2) Question: I am a candidate for a judgeship. Can I still wear my awesome donkey lapel pin? Answer: If a reasonable person objectively viewing the jewelry or apparel would conclude that you are commenting on your affiliation with a political party, then no. (Legal Profession Blog, Elephants, Donkeys And Judges) 3) Question: We want to sell a beverage called "Pomegranate Blueberry," but it contains only 0.3 percent pomegranate juice and 0.2 percent blueberry juice. Is this going to be a problem? Answer: No problem. (The National Law Journal, Ninth Circuit mostly sides with Coke in pomegranate juice wars)
False Friend? High School Principal Resigns After Facebook Spying Allegation
by Bruce Carton
17 May 2012 at 3:18pm
An interesting social media incident played out recently at a high school in Missouri that ended with principal Louise Losos resigning and hundreds of students at Clayton High School wondering: Who is Suzy Harriston? Someone claiming to be "Suzy Harriston" from Clayton friended more than 300 people on Facebook, many of them from Clayton High School, without anyone really bothering to ask who Suzy was. On April 5, 2012, Chase Haslett, the former Clayton High School quarterback who had graduated in 2011, posted the following accusation on Facebook: "Whoever is friends with Suzy Harriston on Facebook needs to drop them. It is the Clayton Principal." According to St. Louis Today, the Suzy Harriston profile on Facebook quickly disappeared following Haslett's claim. A day later, so did Losos, as she was immediately placed on a "leave of absence." A few weeks later, Losos resigned, reportedly as part of a deal that paid her $140,000. The deal included Losos' agreement to take no legal action against the school district, the Columbia Daily Tribune reports. The Clayton School District stated only that her departure related to a "fundamental dispute concerning the appropriate use of social media." Why did Losos allegedly friend hundreds of...
Thursday's Three Burning Legal Questions

17 May 2012 at 10:00am
Here are today's three burning legal questions, along with the answers provided by the blogosphere. 1) Question: Here are the important pieces of what I am calling "Operation Rob a Local Internet Cafe." Please let me know if I have forgotten anything: Visit an Internet cafe and hang around inconspicuously using its computers, checking Facebook, etc.; after browsing the Web for a bit, go to the cashier to pay for my usage time and assault the man at the register; demand all the money in the register; get the money and escape on a stolen motorcycle. Foolproof, right? Answer: You forgot to add "Log out of my Facebook account," which is key. (Digital Trends, Two men rob Internet cafe, forget to log out of Facebook prior to robbery) 2) Question: I am a police officer. We caught a man trying to steal a $20,000 diamond, and he tried to hide the evidence by swallowing it! That was several days ago, and while he has had several bowel movements in that time, the diamond has not yet seen the light of day if you know what I'm saying (don't ask how I know this). We can only hold the alleged thief...
Gay Judge Candidate Rejected by Va. House Due to 'Advocacy' for Gay Rights
by Bruce Carton
16 May 2012 at 3:18pm
I am a native Marylander but I have lived in the Virginia suburbs of Washington, D.C., for almost two decades. I like it here quite a bit, but Virginia is quirky in that it is sharply divided in pretty much every way between the D.C. suburbs in Northern Virginia and everywhere else. As I observed here, Once you travel 100 miles south of D.C. and hit Richmond, you enter old-school Virginia -- the Virginia that makes you realize that you are in a state that was a full-blown part of the Confederate States of America. Day-to-day, the cultural differences between Northern Virginia and the rest of the state are not really visible as those worlds don't collide much. But there are periodic flare-ups that serve as reminders of the state's deep conservative streak, such as Tuesday when the Virginia House of Delegates rejected Tracy Thorne-Begland, who is openly gay, for a judgeship in Richmond. The Washington Post reports that Thorne-Begland is a Richmond prosecutor who previously challenged the military?s "don't ask, don't tell" policy, has advocated for gay marriage and is raising twins with his partner. Thorne-Begland's opponents argued that they voted against him not because he was gay, but...
Wednesday's Three Burning Legal Questions
by Bruce Carton
16 May 2012 at 10:00am
Here are today's three burning legal questions, along with the answers provided by the blogosphere. 1) Question: I was at the local park and some dude started complaining that I was making too much noise and keeping his friend from sleeping. Then he picked up a pooper scooper and began swinging it at me, so I picked up my own pooper scooper to defend myself and engaged in a pooper scooper duel for about 30 minutes. Are you kidding me?? This has to be some kind of crime, right? Pooper scoopers can hurt! Answer: It must be some crime, you are right, but the blawgosphere seems to have no record of any prior "assault and battery by pooper scooper." (Seattle PI, En garde: 2 battle with pooper scoopers in Seattle park) 2) Question: I saw in your recent post that the woman who gave in to her boyfriend's request to put his penis in a hot hair iron was not guilty of assault because he asked for it. Similarly, my friend is begging me to shoot him in his own leg because he wants to know "how it feels." Can I shoot him without getting in trouble with the law?...
Things You Can't Do on a Plane: Vol. 18

15 May 2012 at 3:20pm
You might think that after Volume 1, Volume 2, Volume 3, Volume 4, Volume 5, Volume 6, Volume 7, Volume 8, Volume 9, Volume 10, Volume 11, Volume 12, Volume 13, Volume 14, Volume 15, Volume 16 and Volume 17 of Things You Can't Do on a Plane, that we'd have exhausted the list of things you can't do on a plane. Nope! The list grows daily. Here are three more things I've recently learned that you cannot do on a plane: Attempt to smuggle 49 live reptiles in your luggage on an international flight. Passengers may not pack 31 spiny-tailed lizards and 18 geckos into their suitcase. This is true even if the passenger claims the reptiles are his "personal food supply" and offers to bite off the head of one to prove it. CONSEQUENCE: The passenger will face a fine of several thousand euros for transporting protected animals. The reptiles will be taken to a local veterinarian to be cared for. Attempt to sneak 115 "oven-ready iguanas" into the United States from Mexico. Passengers may not attempt to bring a cooler into the U.S. filled with 159 pounds of the beheaded, skinned, and deboned bodies of 115 green...
Life is an Open-Book Test ... Unless You are a Juror
by Bruce Carton
14 May 2012 at 3:21pm
I've heard it said that "Life is an open-book test," and I believe that this has become even more true as the Internet, Google, smartphones and other fundamental features of the digital age have become ubiquitous. In the year 2012, when you want to understand something, or define something, or test something, or check someone's background, you typically have instant access to the tools you'd need to do so. If you are truly interested, you will take the 10 seconds needed to get an answer or to learn how you can get an answer... unless you are serving on a jury. If you are serving on a jury, however, the normal rules of life in the 21st century no longer apply, and you must get each and every scrap of information needed to do your job directly from the proceedings in the courtroom so that your ultimate verdict is determined solely by the evidence. Need to look up what a key word means? Too bad -- -put that cell phone down!!

Here are today's three burning legal questions, along with the answers provided by the blogosphere. 1) Question: I'm just minding my own business, walking down the street and doing some texting in my home town of Fort Lee, N.J. Why are the police eyeing me so much? Answer: Because you are committing the offense of TWW. The scourge that is "Texting While Walking" will now carry with it an $85 fine in the town of Fort Lee. (CBS News, Texting while walking banned in N.J. town) 2) Question: I'm enjoying a strawberry Fruit Roll-Up. They are made with real fruit -- Did you know that? It says so right on the label. How many grams of strawberries are in a strawberry Fruit Roll-Up, anyway? Answer: There are a total of 0.0 grams of strawberries in a strawberry Fruit Roll-Up. But there are some "pears from concentrate" in there, if that makes you feel any better. (Consumerist, General Mills Must Defend Claim That Fruit Roll-Ups Are "Made With Real Fruit") 3) Question: I live in Manhattan and have a child ready to start kindergarten.

In Which I Win Rudy Giuliani's Yankees Tickets

Bracewell & Giuliani's Basis Points blog is holding a haiku contest, with the winning entry receiving Rudy Giuliani?s "primo" Yankees seats (second row directly behind home plate) plus a gourmet meal in the Legends Club for the Yankees' May 23 game against the Kansas City Royals. Before you start breaking out your award-winning lines of haiku from high school, you should know that the haiku that will win these tickets must be Yogi Berra-related: But here?s the curveball. We don?t want just any haiku. We want one that is clever, well-written and relates to Yogi Berra in some fashion, such as his career, a quote attributed to him, or a made-up quote for him (written, of course, in five-seven-five syllable haiku structure). Here is my entry. I look forward to seeing you all at the Legends Club in New York on May 23! Why I Love Being a Baseball Manager I cannot tell you What you don't already know You don't know nothing

Compensation Claim For Injury At Work

Compensation Claim For Injury At Work
An injury compensation claim is a common procedure for those who have been unfortunate to suffer the consequences of a personal injury and know only too well the life-altering effects it can have. Things that used to be simple tasks are now major obstacles, the simple pleasures of life seem to be slipping away and everyday is a struggle just to get through. Work is no longer an option, along with all the activities you used to enjoy. If this sounds like the situation you or a loved one is currently in, then consider an injury claim, it could make all the difference in the world. You're Not Alone In The Struggle Every year, thousands of people struggle to cope with serious personal injury, with many of them not realising the compensation they deserve. Once injured, many people tend to hide away and refuse to acknowledge the damage that has been inflicted on their body. Not coming to terms with an injury is one of the most dangerous things a person can do. It can lead to increased mental stress that can have a big impact on family and friends, and possibly slow down the recovery and rehabilitation process. It also prevents the injured party from receiving the deserved compensation to help with the financial difficulties that often strike in these difficult times. Claim Compensation Online Now! Want Proof? Get The Help You Deserve You wouldn't skimp on rehabilitation if it was a family member or another loved one who was injured, then why deny yourself the necessary ...

Personal Injury Claims | Punitive Damages, Lost Wages
When a person files a personal injury lawsuit, they can claim a number of different damages, but everything has to be related back to the injury that was caused that is the subject of the lawsuit. They are entitled to recover lost wages, medical bills, pain and suffering, pain and suffering in the past and the future. In some lawsuits, a person may even be entitled to punitive damages, damages that are intent to discourage defendants from continuing to commit bad behavior.

BC Injury Law and ICBC Claims Lawyer - How Much is My Personal Injury Case Worth.avi
One of the most frequent questions I'm asked as a BC Personal Injury Lawyer is how much is my claim worth?. This is an important question for anyone injured through the fault of another in British Columbia. When negotiating with ICBC (or another Insurance company) the playing field is typically imbalanced in that the Claims Adjuster has lots of experience in valuing personal injury claims. Unless you are an injury claims lawyer you understandably would have little experience in valuing these claims and may need help valuing your losses. It is important to empower yourself for the negotiation because in tort claims the insurer is negotiating on behalf of the person that injured you. With this in mind, here is a brief video introduction discussing some of the common 'heads of damages' that are frequently addressed in BC personal injury lawsuits. I hope this information is of some assistance in balancing the information playing field. Please note that this video is provided for general information only and is not claim-specific legal advice.
