Finally, the authors state, “We as a society should be able to take protective action when scientific evidence indicates a chemical is of concern, and not wait for unequivocal proof that a chemical is causing harm to our children. Evidence of neurodevelopmental toxicity of any type — epidemiological or toxicological or mechanistic — by itself should constitute a signal sufficient to trigger prioritization and some level of action.” Again, the main concern of researchers is the adverse impact of acetaminophen on fetal brain development. A medical body of evidence consisting of a decade’s worth of studies linking Tylenol to autism and child development was no longer something to be ignored.

3.)  Does the car accident attorney or law firm have a reputation for taking cases to jury verdict when an insurance carrier fails to make a reasonable settlement offer? An auto accident attorney or firm that does not regularly take cases to trial or even litigate their auto accident claims are similar to a dog who lack any bite despite barking loudly. Every car insurance company keeps detailed notes on all car accident lawyers they have dealt with. The settlement offers provided by an insurance carrier are based on the risk they face if the car accident victim refuses to settle based on an unreasonable amount and opts to pursue trial.  Law firms that do not try cases pose zero risk to the insurance carrier. Our car accident lawyers have litigated over 2500 lawsuits to date throughout Florida and have served as lead counsel on numerous jury trials.

4.) Do NOT select your Tampa auto accident lawyer based solely off a television commercial, radio spot or billboard.  Many of the higher volume law firms your will find advertising ad nauseum are considered little more than settlement mills by auto insurance carriers. Further, high volume law firms have difficulty providing personal attention to their clients.  In fact, a common complaint we receive from clients who retained Sibley Dolman Gipe, after firing a large advertising law firm is they never met with nor spoke with their previous lawyer. Every client of Sibley Dolman Gipe is provided the cellphone of their handling car accident attorney as well as the Managing Partner of Sibley Dolman Gipe. Take a look at the reviews of many of the high volume car accident lawyers in Tampa and you will notice a disturbing trend.  The accident lawyer on the television commercial is often impossible to reach for your common injury victim (see the reviews) and chances are they have never tried a case despite claiming they are the best law firm.

Riding a motorcycle is exhilarating. The freedom that comes with the open road is a lifestyle that lets bikers become one with a machine. Camaraderie, the need for speed, and adrenaline are common reasons riders take the pedal to the metal, and some motorcycle enthusiasts even enter a meditative-like state after a cruise.

Yet this hobby does come with inherent risks. In fact, motorcycles are the most deadly form of transportation in the U.S today. The car comes in second, but motorcyclists are still 27 times more likely to die than passenger car occupants in a crash.

Why are motorcycles so much more dangerous? Unlike other transport methods, they don’t have safety features like a steel frame or air bag to protect you in the event of a crash. If you do get injured in a motorcycle accident, consider speaking to an attorney to learn about your rights.

Below, our roundup of motorcycle accident statistics walks through the risks and annual fatalities, as well as tips for staying safe on your next ride.

Major Firefighting Foam Cancer Lawsuits

The manufacturers of firefighting foams have become the focus of litigation from all sides due to the dangerous properties that their product exhibits. Firefighting foam cancer lawsuits allege that major manufacturers deliberately withheld knowledge of the product’s dangers for decades, so they could increase their profits. 

Firefighting foam, or aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) as it is more formally known, has been linked to the increased risk of developing cancers among those exposed to it. This exposure can either occur at work through direct contact with the foam or in the community by ingesting water from foam contaminated water supplies. Firefighting foams are made and sold by some of the most powerful chemical companies in the world such as Dupont, 3M, Chemguard, and Chemours to name a few. 

Those that have suffered because of their exposure to firefighting foam and the harmful chemicals they contain can hold those responsible for their damages accountable for their actions. AFFF has directly and indirectly affected a large number of people ranging from firefighters directly exposed to AFFF to civilians that did nothing more than drink water from trusted water sources that became contaminated. 

Firefighting foam cancer lawsuits against these companies are nothing new. If you or someone you love believes that exposure to firefighting foam caused your cancer or medical illness, you have a right to hold negligent manufacturers accountable too. To do so, it is important to understand the lawsuits already filed, as past cases will have a significant impact on how future litigation against fire fighting foam manufacturers will proceed.  

Filing a Lawsuit Over Defective Hip Replacements

Arthritis and other problems with your hips might require you to have hip replacement surgery. During the surgery, doctors replace your hip with a new joint made from plastic and metal. In most cases, doctors will try other treatment options first. In some cases, the hip replacement itself is defective, and in others, the surgical technique could cause a defect. If you believe you have a defective hip replacement, contact a hip replacement attorney for a consultation.

Reasons a Hip Replacement Is Defective

A hip replacement might be defective for many reasons, including:

• The quality of the materials used to make the implant;
• A design flaw, which you might find in a specific brand;
• Bad joint biomechanics;
• Migration issues;
• Septic loosening due to pathogens in the implant;
• Poor surgical technique;
• Missing hip replacement components;
• Poor preoperative planning;
• Fractured or otherwise defective replacement components;
• Wrong choice of prosthesis (the hip replacement); and
• An inappropriate rehabilitation program for the patient.

When a road hazard sends your car out of control, the resulting accident can cause serious or life-threatening injuries. Before you report the accident to your insurance company as one that was your fault, however, take a closer look at the circumstances.
