May 29, 2016 – – LipsigLawyers.com’s Thomas Moverman recently made a statement about the rescue of a construction worker at an American Airlines Center in Dallas. Moverman said that as these incidents keep occurring across the U.S., more needs to be done to protect workers’ safety.

According to NBC, the worker was injured near the American Airlines Center in Uptown Dallas. Firefighters were called to perform a technical rescue at the site. NBC did not elaborate on the extent of the man’s injuries but stated that the rescue took place near a large multi-story building that was being constructed on the corner of Houston and Payne streets.

In non-fatal incidents, common injuries have often included brain injuries, fractured or broken bones and spinal injuries. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, in 2014, 933 construction related accidents in the U.S resulted in death. That number steadily increased since 2011 when the total was at 781 fatalities. There are several different ways construction workers can be injured on the job. Among the most frequent are slips, trips and falls, scaffolding accidents, and falls from ladders.

Lipsig, Shapey, Manus & Moverman has been representing victims of construction accidents for a combined 80 years 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. Qualifying individuals may be entitled substantial financial compensation.

May 29, 2016 – – TheProductLawyers.com reports on Xarelto, a very popular new-generation blood thinner released on the market in 2011 after approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The drug’s popularity was grounded in its provision of more freedoms to patients than the traditional blood thinners released before it. Xarelto was approved for the treatment of patients suffering from a variety of medical conditions such as deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and atrial fibrillation, as well as for patients recovering from hip or knee replacement surgery.

Since the agency’s approval, however, the drug has become the focus of many lawsuits against its manufacturers, Janssen Pharmaceuticals, a division of the Johnson and Johnson Corporation, and Bayer AG. In addition to the lawsuits, a number of investigations are underway as well related to its clinical trials and over a defective medical device. The drug has also received two black box warnings from the FDA. Such warnings are the strictest and harshest warning that can be issued to a product, and usually portends a possible complete removal from the market.

The lawsuits filed number in excess of 3,400 at the moment coming from all across America with all of them being consolidated into two primary groups for litigation purposes since there were many common attributes between all the cases. The first batch is a mass tort program of more than 600 cases in Philadelphia, PA created by the Court of Common Pleas. The second group of lawsuits is a multidistrict litigation (MDL) approved by the United States Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPML) that encompasses over 2,800 cases. The MDL is being overseen by the Honorable Judge Eldon Fallon of the Eastern District of Louisiana. The MDL has been recorded with No. 2592.

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 29, 2016 – – LipsigLawyers.com reports on a story released by CBS Los Angeles detailing an alleged e-cigarette explosion incident suffered by an Orange County, California teenager. The 19-year-old boy was reportedly working at a grocery store called Albertsons in Ladera Ranch while a cigarette battery he was carrying in his pocket suddenly exploded. The article states that Captain Steve Concialdi of the Orange County Fire Authority believed that the explosion occurred when the battery came into contact with his keys. He noted that the device appeared to have exploded and propelled around 15 feet down the aisle of the supermarket.

Further details state that the young man was transported to Mission Hospital and received treatment for first and second-degree burns on his thigh before being released.

Unfortunately, as e-cigarette popularity increases, so do e-cigarette explosion reports like these. According to FEMA, 25 incidents involving e-cigarette explosions have been reported by mainstream media between 2009 and 2014, yet these numbers could be higher with the number of unreported incidents. The news release makes note of a 17-year-old boy from Anaheim, California who also reported being injured while smoking an e-cigarette which allegedly malfunctioned. Just a month before, as well, a man from Santa Ana, California reported suffering injuries when his e-cigarette device exploded in his hands.

Attorney Marc Freund has been working to investigate these occurrences and has also taken on several clients who have filed their own e-cigarette explosion related lawsuits after allegedly suffering injuries. He encourages anyone who has suffered from e-cigarette explosion injuries to fully explore their legal options in the matter, as they may be entitled to significant compensation gained through legal action. Those who wish to do so are now offered free legal consultations from Attorney Marc Freund and his firm, Lipsig, Shapey, Manus & Moverman.

To ask questions regarding this topic, or to request additional information on e-cigarette explosion lawsuits, please contact Attorney Freund by calling 877-711-9545.

May 29, 2016 – – LipsigLawyers.com reports on an incident involving an e-cigarette explosion in November that left a 23-year-old Bakersfield man with serious injuries. According to a report by CBS Los Angeles, the man suffered severe burns to his face after the e-cigarette blew up while he was using it. He suffered damage to his mouth and had to have part of his index finger removed as a result of the explosion. The man’s attorney has filed a lawsuit on his behalf.

Several other individuals who have experienced e-cigarette explosions have also opted to file lawsuits against the manufacturers and, in some cases, the vendor. A recent case involving a 14-year-old boy in New York who was blinded by an explosion is just one of multiple reported cases in which serious injuries have prompted legal action. The boy had been testing an e-cigarette at a mall kiosk when the explosion occurred. He is being represented by Attorney Marc Freund with Lipsig, Shapey Manus & Moverman.

“The duty falls to Kings Plaza and the kiosk owner to make sure there’s signs in place to warn the children,” said Freund in a Pix11 interview. “There was not even a single sign advising of the city and state law until after this incident takes place.”

As cases continue to accumulate, 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 substantial financial compensation. Attorney Freund is currently offering free consultations to anyone who has been injured by the devices.

To learn more about e-cigarettes, or to ask questions, please contact Marc Freund Esq. anytime by calling 877-711-9545.

May 29, 2016 – – TheProductLawyers.com reports on a new lawsuit filed on October 8, 2015, by a plaintiff claiming the dosage requirement for Xarelto is ineffective and directly precipitated his stroke which he was susceptible to having due to his atrial fibrillation, a very common heart condition. The plaintiff states in his court filing that he suffered a stroke, which the drug was being used to prevent, a mere 4 days after he started his treatment.

Most blood-thinning drugs require a patient take 2 pills a day to keep the drug in their system for a 24-hour period in order to effectively do what it is designed for. Xarelto is in a league by itself since it is the only blood-thinning drug with a once daily regimen and has been called into question, as it is advertised as a “one-size-fits-all” solution not accounting for a patient’s differing size or weight.

The plaintiff, in this particular case, is suing the manufacturers, Janssen Pharmaceuticals, a subdivision of the Johnson and Johnson Corporation, and Bayer AG, claiming the once daily dosage is ineffective.

This case is a departure from the lawsuits filed before it since it is the first to dispute the dosage requirements. The two consolidated groups of lawsuits all focused on the dangerous risks associated with alleged excessive bleeding that many patients experienced and many died from. There are two groups of cases that precede the October 2015 filing that encompass 550+ in a mass tort program in Philadelphia, PA as well as the second group in a multidistrict litigation (MDL 2592) with 2,800+ cases being overseen by a court in Eastern Louisiana.

It should be noted too that the controversy over Xarelto does not stop in the courtroom. The FDA, since its initial approval, has issued two ominous black box warnings usually indicating that a product may soon be removed from the consumer market.

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 29, 2016 – – LipsigLawyers.com’s Thomas Moverman stated recently that the critical injuries of two Illinois men who were injured in a construction accident should open the eyes of those who can promote change.

Reports from WQAD8 stated that the two men had been installing a roof when the lift they were using tipped over and knocked them to the ground. Authorities said both men sustained serious injuries and were treated at the scene before being transported to the hospital. As of May 2, authorities were still investigating the accident.

These types of incidents are common among construction workers throughout the country. According to the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA), more than 20 percent of all work-related fatalities in 2013 were employed in the construction industry. Among the most frequent accidents that occur on construction sites are slips, trips and falls, scaffolding injuries and ladder falls. The OSHA states that multiple injuries can result from these types of accidents including broken or fractured bones, impalement, spinal cord injuries and brain injuries.

The attorneys at Lipsig, Shapey, Manus, & Moverman, P.C. have been representing injured construction workers since 1989 and have obtained compensation for thousands of clients. The firm stands behind the idea that clients should receive the maximum amount of compensation to which they are entitled. Moverman has been successful in this endeavor in many cases, even winning one construction accident victim $2.6 million for injuries to his knee and back after a fall from defective scaffolding. The firm is currently offering free consultations to those parties who have been injured in a construction accident. Qualifying individuals may be entitled to legal action and significant financial compensation.

For information on options for injured workers, or to schedule a consultation, contact an attorney at Lipsig, Shapey, Manus, & Moverman any time by calling (646) 846-4496.

May 29, 2016 – – TheProductLawyers.com reports on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) 2011 approval of Xarelto and the legal controversies centered on the drug that have arisen since then. The drug was approved to treat patients recovering from hip and knee replacement surgeries, as well as to prevent strokes and blood clots, with a subsequent treatment for atrial fibrillation coming later. Since the FDA’s approved the drug, it has been the focus of over 3,400 lawsuits as well as the recipient of two black box warnings by the FDA that generally portends a product’s removal from the consumer market.

Up until October 2015, all of the lawsuits filed against the makers of Xarelto, Bayer AG and a Johnson and Johnson subdivision, Janssen Pharmaceuticals, have been focused on plaintiff allegations that the drug caused serious uncontrollable and sometimes fatal internal bleeding. These cases have been consolidated into two primary groups. The first is a mass tort program in Philadelphia, PA encompassing over 550 cases. The second is a multidistrict litigation (MDL 2592) encompassing in excess of 2,800 cases in an Eastern Louisiana court.

However, in October of 2015, a new lawsuit was filed that veered from these standard accusations and focused instead on the ineffectiveness of the daily dosage requirement of Xarelto that did not take into account a patient’s size or weight. With the exception of Xarelto, the other blood thinning drugs on the market require a patient to take it twice daily to keep it in the patient’s system for a 24-hour period. Xarelto’s dosage is a once daily regimen.

The plaintiff in this trailblazing case claims that the once daily requirement is ineffective. He was given Xarelto to prevent strokes due to his atrial fibrillation. However, after only taking the drug for four days, he suffered a stroke. The plaintiff is claiming that not only did the drug not prevent his stroke as he was told it would, he firmly believes that it may have also caused it to happen.

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 29, 2016 – – LipsigLawyers.com reports on a news release from DailyMail.com detailing the story of a father who suffered from an e-cigarette explosion while rollerskating with his young son. The device allegedly exploded from in his pocket, which was just several inches from the face of his 7-year-old son. The two were skating together at the Bury Roller Rink in Greater Manchester when the incident occurred. The father is said to have required skin grafts to repair severe burns, and to have suffered nerve damage and loss of feeling.

The man stated in the news release, “I’d been picking my son up the whole time as he kept falling over, that explosion could’ve been in his face. The battery wasn’t even on, I don’t know what happened, it went off like a Roman candle or something. The lights came on and the music went off- people were just staring at me, and then the manager ran over to see if I was okay.”

The father now reportedly is required to visit the hospital every two days in order to receive treatments for his burns. He stated, “It was a nightmare, I was in shock and the kids were just silent, they were terrified.”

Unfortunately, this man is not the only alleged victim of e-cigarette explosion injuries. The article also makes note of an incident reported by a mother who states that she suffered severe burns on her legs when the same brand of battery exploded in her purse while she was traveling in the car with her husband and daughter.

Attorney Marc Freund of the firm Lipsig, Shapey, Manus & Moverman is currently assisting several clients in the United States who are now pursuing legal action following alleged e-cigarette explosion injuries. The attorney recommends that anyone who has suffered from one of these incidents should investigate their legal options in the matter at they move forward.

To better assist those looking to explore their options, Attorney Freund is offering free legal consultations for involved parties.

Moverman stressed that these incidents happen all too frequently and that in many cases, these workers are not fortunate enough to live through the fall.

The Texas man fell as he was working at a construction site at Gateway Boulevard. He fell 30 feet and at approximately 15 feet, the safety rope snapped and he fell the rest of the way to the ground, reported inforney.com.
