In this blog we’ve got some unsettling news about two common household products: Skechers shoes and the popular cold-fixer referred to as “Z-Pack.”
A giant settlement was just announced concerning one of the most famous companies in the world: Skechers, the shoe brand/manufacturer. They’ve been all over the news recently, specifically with their television ads for their “Shape-Ups” shoe line which claims the shoes have a “slimming” effect on those who purchase the shoes. Skechers poured so much money into the ad campaign that they even hired reality television star Kim Kardashian to promote their shoes in their television advertisements.

There have been a number of high-profile personal injury settlements decided recently that have helped set the standard for personal injury cases going forward. Each of them, in their own way, will help to influence future verdicts and substantiate long-standing precedents. These precedents are more influential than any court, legislator or lawyer. When something is ruled on in a certain—consistent—way, the standard is set for every case like it to follow. When lawyers draw up arguments in court, they will cite other similar cases that have come before and use their outcomes as the appropriate basis for forming the …

In this blog post, we’d like to make you aware of three settlements that may pertain to you or your family members. We’ve got news to bring you regarding Bayer, Kentucky Fried Chicken, and Five Guys Burgers & Fries.

You may not think that imposter wine, bad faith insurance companies and defective automobiles have anything to do with one another, except for in the case of some horrible accident—but if you think that, you’re incorrect! In this blog, we’re going to explore each of these four current topics which are all similar in that they fall under the umbrella of personal injury in separate forms—albeit some are far more costly than others!
Let’s start with the “fake” wine. It is “Pinot Noir” to be exact. A settlement has been reached in New York, NY, in a class action lawsuit …

In this blog, we would like to make you aware of three personal injury settlements that have been reached between plaintiff and defendants and one case of a judge tossing out a lawsuit that we’ve written about before. Let’s start with the toss-out.
As we’ve told you before, nine former law school students filed a lawsuit against New York Law School, claiming that they were duped into attending the school (and thus paying tuition to the school) on the grounds of false information regarding job placement. The suit demanded $225 million dollars in compensation from the school. This past week, however, …

Negligence is an important factor of personal injury. But what is it? We hear about it a lot with many different kinds of incidents: negligence by a boat captain who didn’t realize that the water was too rough to go out, negligence by a doctor who didn’t run comprehensive tests, or negligence by a driver who didn’t realize that the car in front of him had come to a stop at a red light.
All of those are examples of negligence directly related to the tort being committed—that is, all of the examples encompass instances during which the tortfeasor, the wrongdoer, …

In this blog we’re going to let you know about two recent stories that have hit the personal injury airwaves. The first story has to do with speeding while driving and the other has to do with the diabetes drug Actos (and, more importantly, its manufacturer).
First things first: obviously, as time goes on and new technologies are developed, death rates from a great many causes begin to dip. However, shockingly (or maybe not shockingly) there has been no decrease in the number of deaths each year caused by speeding-related car accidents. Why are people speeding? Who knows; maybe it’s …
