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.

While it’s true that the original saying is April showers bring May flowers, the same logic can be applied to the implications and ramifications of legal decisions in personal injury cases of all sorts. 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. No, this won’t be a contest of what college kids consume more of, but it might give all consumers—including college kids—pause before further consumption.
Let’s begin …

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’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 …

We want to make you aware of a few stories that have come up in the legal news over the past few days that might affect you or be of interest to you. They have to do with motorcycle safety, the BP oil spill, and a wacky lawsuit from Michigan. Enjoy!
The first story has to do with motorcycle safety, which is an issue that doesn’t often get a lot of attention in the grand scheme of motor vehicles. Most attention in this realm is given to car accidents—and rightfully so; most accidents that happen on the road involve cars, …

We can’t even look at the news anymore without learning something else about personal injury law. The field is always growing, because new cases are always coming about. These cases aren’t just lawsuits; relevant incidents can be accidents, negotiations, and even the release of relevant studies. In this blog I’d like to talk about two very different issues. The first has to do with the education of drivers, and the impact it has. The second has to do with a shocking case of an E-Cigarette gone terribly wrong.
So, we’ll begin with the study relating to driver education. There are …

We’d like to take this time to share with you some of the recent goings-on in the world of personal injury law. There are always new cases being tried, new verdicts being handed down, and new fines being imposed. It’s a good idea to be kept abreast of these developments in order to know what you can expect should you ever be involved in a similar case. People say, “the law never changes”—well, we have a couple of issues with that statement.
First of all, the law does change. Frequently. New legislators pass new laws. That’s why we vote for …

Often times, when people hear of a “personal injury” lawyer, or a “personal injury” lawsuit, the first thing that comes to mind is a car crash or a slip and fall. That’s not necessarily a false belief — car accidents and slip and falls do constitute a great deal of personal injury cases. But why is that? Sure, there are a lot of cars on the road, and sure there are many people going in and out of different homes and stores where the opportunity for slipping, and falling, is not scarce to say the least. But another reason that …

Despite certain state legislators’ efforts to place restricting limitations on the juries of the state in relation to this issue, multiple, beneficial settlements and verdicts in personal injury cases have been reached in Florida over the past year. These cases have helped set the precedent moving forward that serious personal injury cases need to be taken care of — if push comes to shove — in the courts. While tort reform continues to be a hotly discussed issue, both on the local and national scale, we’d like to take a look at some of the notable jury verdicts and settlements …
