May 30, 2016 – – LipsigLawyers.com’s Thomas Moverman stated this week that the recent death of an Iowa construction worker is yet another example of the need for change in construction safety and procedures. Moverman offered his sympathies to the family and friends of the construction worker as they mourn the loss of a man lost far too early.

Reports from KCII 8 indicate that construction workers were digging along a foundation wall when the 56-year-old man was trapped by a part of the wall that tipped over. The man was freed by members of the construction company and fire personnel but he was pronounced dead at the scene. Occupational Health and Safety officials are investigating the incident.

Sadly, these incidents are not uncommon. The number of incidents nationwide involving injury from a construction accident has steadily increased over the past few years.

Qualifying individuals may be entitled substantial financial compensation. Lipsig, Shapey, Manus & Moverman has been representing victims of construction accidents since 1989 and, in that time, has helped win over $500 million in settlements. The firm believes that victims of construction accidents are entitled to the representation and compensation they deserve. Attorney Moverman has even represented one victim who was awarded $2.6 million after injuring his knee and back in a fall from defective scaffolding. The firm is currently offering free consultations to parties who have been injured in a construction accident.

May 30, 2016 – – LipsigLawyers.com reports on an incident in Canada in which a teen was badly injured after using an e-cigarette. Nextshark reported in a February article that a Canadian teen suffered severe burns to his face and shattered teeth after his e-cigarette unexpectedly exploded. Since the accident, the 16-year-old’s father has called for a ban on e-cigarette sales to minors.

A similar ban has just been made in the U.S. against sales to minors after the FDA made the call to begin regulating the sale, labeling, promotion and advertising of the devices. The regulations come after an ongoing debate about e-cigarettes’ safety and health benefits, as well as several reported incidents of the devices exploding. One such incident was reported recently in Orange County, California when an e-cigarette exploded in a teen’s pocket while at the supermarket. The device exploded after coming in contact with the teen’s keys and the blast left him with first and second-degree burns on his thigh. The devices have become increasingly popular since their debut and according to FEMA, about 2.5 million Americans use the devices. Other incidents involving exploding e-cigarettes have been reported in states including Oklahoma, Texas, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Louisiana, Colorado, Florida, and Utah.

Several victims of the explosions have chosen to take legal action, some calling for a ban on the cigarettes. In an effort to assist those affected by e-cigarette explosions, Lipsig, Shapey, Manus & Moverman are currently working to ensure that those individuals who have been injured by the devices are able to explore their legal rights fully. Attorney Marc Freund is currently offering free consultations to anyone who has been injured by the devices. Certain individuals may be entitled to substantial financial compensation.

May 30, 2016 – – TheProductLawyers.com reports on a Duke University clinical trial for Xarelto that occurred in 2006 and was commissioned by the makers of the drug, Janssen Pharmaceuticals, a Johnson and Johnson subsidiary, and Bayer AG. The purpose of the clinical trial was to compare the effects of Xarelto with warfarin, a predecessor blood-thinning drug and was conducted over a 3-year period during which 14,000 patients were reviewed. This clinical trial is now being investigated and questions have emerged about its credibility due to the use of a defective blood testing device. Many believe this device could have altered the results of the data, thus making Xarelto appear more effective than it really is. Researchers have stated that patients may have been given the wrong dosage of warfarin because of the faulty testing apparatus.

In addition to the faulty device, another big issue is the manufacturers’ deceptive and misleading actions not only with not acknowledging the faulty and omitted data to regulatory authorities in the United States and Europe, but also their forwarding of incomplete data to the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM), a highly respected and trusted publication not only with its readers but those in the medical profession.

As the investigation unfolds other factors are emerging as well, with the controversy surrounding the study only getting more intense. Also, lawyers and plaintiffs involved in the more than 5,000 lawsuits, as per an article in Business Insider, are questioning whether the faulty research data would have made a difference in the number of lawsuits being filed and the subsequent 500 alleged deaths from Xarelto. As this investigation progresses, these plaintiffs are looking forward to the start of the bellwether trials currently scheduled to begin in spring of 2017.

The attorneys of Banville Law, the firm behind TheProductLawyers.com, are offering complimentary consultations to anyone who suffered injury or hospitalization after a bleed while on Xarelto. For more information about this release or the Xarelto litigation call 888-997-3792.

May 30, 2016 – – LipsigLawyers.com reports on an e-cigarette explosion involving a German man who went to use his device when it exploded in his face, causing serious injury. In an article by The Daily Mail, a 20-year-old man suffered injuries to his face and mouth when he went to inhale his e-cigarette and the battery exploded. The explosion occurred at a vape shop as he was purchasing new parts for the device, the article said.

The incident bears similarity to one in the U.S. that occurred in New York in which a 14-year-old boy had been testing an e-cigarette at a mall kiosk when the device exploded. The blast left the boy with severe facial injuries in addition to blinding him in one eye. The boy is being represented by attorney Marc Freund with Lipsig, Shapey, Manus & Moverman.

Freund said in an interview with Pix11 the teen, ” . . . was being marketed at the entrance of the Kings Plaza Mall.” “A mall that caters to children, and they’re marketing these products, causing all these injuries.”

According to FEMA, most e-cigarette explosions occur while the devices are plugged in to be charged. However, a handful of instances reported in the U.S. have occurred while the devices were in use. When the e-cigarettes explode, they can often cause fires or serious injuries to those in the immediate area.

Lipsig, Shapey, Manus & Moverman are currently looking to assist those who have been affected by explosive e-cigarettes. Attorneys such as Marc Freund are working to ensure that those individuals who have been injured by the devices are able to explore their legal rights fully. Certain individuals may be entitled to financial compensation. Attorney Freund is currently offering free consultations to anyone who has been injured by the devices.

May 30, 2016 – – LipsigLawyers.com reports on a recent incident involving a family in Bolton, Greater Manchester that escaped a house fire caused by an e-cigarette explosion. The Daily Mail reported on the incident, indicating that the fire began when a 15-year-old boy’s e-cigarette exploded while it was charging. The boy managed to alert his older brother and parents, who all escaped safely, according to the article. The fire caused significant damage to the home, gutting the bedroom and leaving severe smoke damage to the upstairs.

Meanwhile, similar cases have begun to accumulate in the U.S. One such reported incident involved a woman living in Atlanta who had plugged in her e-cigarette device to charge when it exploded in her living room. The explosion sent flames shooting across the room and resulted in a burned couch and rug.

According to FEMA, 25 incidents involving e-cigarette explosions have been reported by mainstream media between 2009 and 2014. In 80 percent of reported cases, the explosions have happened while the devices were charging. When the devices charge, the lithium ion battery sometimes overheats, causing the e-cigarette to explode and pieces of the device to become projectile. In the explosions, users and others can sometimes be injured by flames, hot liquid or shrapnel.

As cases continue to accumulate, Lipsig, Shapey, Manus & Moverman are looking to assist those who have been affected by explosive e-cigarettes. Attorneys such as Marc Freund are working to ensure that those individuals who have been injured by the devices are able to explore their legal rights fully. Certain individuals may be entitled to financial compensation. Attorney Freund is currently offering free consultations to anyone who has been injured by the devices.
