Lawyer in Palm Springs, Kevin Cortright, Talks About Chapter 7 Bankruptcy on KMIR

May 25, 2016 – – Weekly guest on KMIR Channel 4, Kevin Cortright, speaks with host Bryan Gallo on different legal topics regarding that could be affecting the residents of Palm Springs, CA. He appears once a week for four minutes, every Friday at 11:30 AM. This episode, Bryan interviewed Kevin about Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, what it means to file, and making the choice to do so. This episode can be viewed directly on www.cortrightlaw.com.

The first topic regarding Chapter 7 Bankruptcy that they talked about was the definition of a Chapter 7. Kevin Cortright states that it is a good option for those that are of middle to low income and are struggling to pay their bills, receiving never ending calls from creditors, and that are generally overwhelmed with their situation.

Kevin then goes over the different benefits of filing Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. He says that there are both immediate benefits, as well as ones that come later in the process. The biggest immediate benefit is listed as stress relief. The second that you file for bankruptcy, the court puts a stop on all bill collection – immediately barring any credit collectors from calling you, and bills from coming through. This allows you for the time and space to file your bankruptcy and figure out the best options with your lawyer.

The next topic that they covered was the long-term benefits provided from filing for bankruptcy. These included your debt being completely wiped away. The kinds of debts listed that can be taken away are repos on cars, credits cars, judgments, taxes, and even lawsuits.

Kevin went on to remind those that are considering filing for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy that it is not as scary of a process as you imagine, and that it can actually provide much relief so you can begin to gain control of your life again. You are even able to keep your property in the process, it won’t be taken away form you unless you ask for it to.

If you live in the Palm Springs area, and would like more information on Kevin Cortright and the Chapter 7 Bankruptcy services that he provides, you can contact the Law Offices of Kevin Cortright.

Zofran Birth Defects Lawsuits Progress, as Federal Court Convenes May Status Conference, Bernstein Liebhard LLP Reports


May 25, 2016 – The federal multidistrict litigation that currently houses hundreds of Zofran birth defects lawsuits (http://www.rxinjuryhelp.com/zofran/birth-defects/) convened its most recent Status Conference on May 17, 2016. Documents filed in the U.S. District Court, District of Massachusetts, indicate that two Pretrial Orders were issued by the Court following the conference, including a Protective Order that sets forth procedures for the handling of confidential materials produced in the course of discovery. (In Re Zofran Products Liability Litigation – MDL 2657)

The second Pretrial Order governs the sequence and effects of Master Pleadings, and stipulates that Plaintiffs file and serve Master Complaints on applicable Defendants by May 31, 2016. One Master Complaint will cover GlaxoSmithKline’s branded Zofran products, while a second will cover cases involving generic versions of ondansetron. Plaintiffs are also to file, but not serve, Short Form Complaints for branded and generic cases by May 31st, after which the parties will have an opportunity to negotiate the contents of those documents. If they are unable to reach agreement by June 10, 2016, the parties are each to submit their own proposals to the Court for consideration.

“Our Firm has been retained by a number of families who believe Zofran caused their children’s birth defects. We are pleased to see the litigation moving forward, especially as to the matter of Master Pleadings and Short Form Complaints, since these documents will allow the cases to mover forward more efficiently,” says Sandy A. Liebhard, a partner at Bernstein Liebhard LLP, a nationwide law firm representing victims of defective drugs and medical devices. The Firm continues to evaluate Zofran lawsuits on behalf of families whose children were allegedly born with a serious birth defect due to pre-natal exposure to this medication.

Zofran Birth Defects Litigation
Court documents indicate that at least 260 Zofran lawsuits have been filed in the District of Massachusetts. The complaints accuse GlaxoSmithKline of concealing information tying Zofran to birth defects, and assert that since 1992, the company has received hundreds of reports of children who were born with serious abnormalities following pre-natal exposure to the drug. Plaintiffs also allege as early as 2006, studies have suggested that Zofran crosses the placental barrier in significant amounts when taken by pregnant women, which may potentially harm a developing fetus.

The lawsuits further point out that Zofran has never been approved to treat pregnancy-related nausea and vomiting, and accuse Glaxo of improperly marketing the medication for this purpose. The complaints also note that in 2012, the drug maker agreed to pay $3 billion to resolve illegal marketing charges with the U.S. Department of Justice that involved a number of its medications. Among other things, the company had been accused of illegally promoting Zofran as an off-label treatment for morning sickness.

Children born with birth defects that could be related to mother’s use of Zofran during the first trimester of pregnancy may be entitled to compensation from GlaxoSmithKline. To find out more about filing a Zofran lawsuit, please visit Bernstein Liebhard LLP’s website, or call the Firm directly at 800-511-5092.

Chesterfield Woman Alleges E-Cigarette Explosion Caused Third-Degree Burns As E-Cig Lawsuit Filings Continue

May 25, 2016 – – LipsigLawyers.com reports on the details of an NBC12 On Your Side report discussing a potential increase in e-cigarette battery explosions. In addition, it details the story of a Chesterfield woman who began using e-cigarettes in an attempt to curb a reported 24-year addiction to cigarettes. The woman was noted to have been taken to the VCU burn center when an electronic cigarette exploded near her face.

She states that the device shot up nearly 10 feet off of where it had been on her bedroom floor, hitting the wall, and setting the carpet and a towel on fire. The woman’s hand also allegedly caught fire, and she suffered second and third-degree burns. According to the news report, the director at the VCU Evans-Haynes Burn Center, a Dr. Michael Feldman, “…says over the last five years, he’s noticed a gradual increase in the number of patients admitted with injuries from vaping battery explosions.” He stated, “We have seen some first-degree, but most of what we see are second and third-degree burns, and we’ve had patients who needed surgery because of it.”

The FDA has reportedly taken notice of this potential increase and has recently increased restrictions around the products, particularly to protect minors from getting their hands on them. At times, however, rules surrounding this do not prevent this occurrence as intended. Recently in New York, a young 14-year-old boy was visiting a mall kiosk selling e-cigarette products when one of the devices reportedly exploded in his face, leaving him blind in his left eye. The boy’s father has since pursued legal action following his severe injuries and is working with Attorney Marc Freund of Lipsig, Shapey, Manus & Moverman to do so.

Attorney Freund is helping several clients to pursue legal action following alleged e-cigarette explosions. He encourages anyone who says they have been injured following an e-cigarette explosion to investigate their legal rights in the matter fully, as these individuals may be entitled to significant compensation. To better assist these individuals, Attorney Freund and his firm are now offering complimentary legal consultations for affected parties.

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

Happy Mango Products Supplied for Kandi Burruss’ Baby Shower

Bravo celebrity from Atlanta Housewives, Kandi Burruss chose Happy Mango products for her baby shower and son’s mattress. It’s a local store in Kirkwood GA known for safe, organic, natural baby products.

Happy Mango Products Supplied for Kandi Burruss’ Baby Shower

Kirkwood, United States – May 25, 2016 /PressCable/

Happy Mango is a new eco-friendly baby store located in Kirkwood Georgia. Phnewfula Frederiksen, owner, was asked by Bravo Television celebrity, Kandi Burruss, from the real housewives of Atlanta to supply gifts for her baby shower as well as supply the mattress for her baby son, Ace Wells Tucker.

What makes Happy Mango unique is the store only offers natural, safe, organic baby products. As parents become more aware of all the harsh chemicals and materials used when creating inferior products, the store has taken a hard stance that every product will be environmentally friendly, or “green”, with limited natural resources used, with no secret ingredient products or hidden fillers. In a world where children put things in their mouths, roll around on toys, the organic stance provides peace of mind knowing the children will not be exposed to any chemicals which will negatively impact the baby’s hormones or health.

As a strong black woman, Kandi Burruss understands the importance to support local business owners in Georgia and female minorities such as herself. Happy Mango gives back to the community, with many parents bringing their entire family into the store for playtime when shopping for new baby products which range from babyshower gifts, books, clothes, cribs, diapers and bottles.

Happy Mango is able to keep pricing low because it gets the products direct from the manufacturers at a discounted rate. As a specialty store, they do not have to stock anything other than baby products, and this has given them a clear advantage over big box retail stores. Other baby stores may carry cheaper, but they do not have the commitment to organic, natural products. The price difference is for quality and guarantees; whereas other baby retailers or ecommerce stores opt to cut corners, create potentially dangerous products, all to increase their profit margin. Happy Mango promises never to sacrifice a baby’s health for money. All products are organic, natural, safe and competitively priced, even against a sea of imitation, inferior baby products.

Quantum DS in Columbia, MO Launches Google Street View Virtual Tours Service

Quantum Digital Solutions releases 3 previously unpublished facts about its upcoming Google Street View Virtual Tours service launch. Further information can be found at https://quantumds.com.

Quantum DS in Columbia, MO Launches Google Street View Virtual Tours Service

Columbia, MO, US – May 25, 2016 /PressCable/

Along with the launch of its new Google Street View Virtual Tours service, Quantum Digital Solutions is making public 3 as yet unreleased facts about the service, set to go live May 2106, which fans and consumers within the Local Businesses space will find interesting…

The 3 items include nuggets such as how:

The idea for creating the Google Street View Virtual Tours service came about after QuantumDS was looking to enhance it’s own Google Business Page and wanted a “See Inside” Virtual Tour when it noticed there were no Google Trusted Photographers in the mid Missouri area and hiring one from hours away was going to cost much more due to travel times. The idea for the service came after determining that the company had the equipment and expertise to do the tours and went through the certification process to become a Trusted Photographer….

The Google Street View Virtual Tours service has actually been in development over six months time in order to simplify workflow and meet certification requirements and had a team made of two members working on it. In comparison to competitors the development team was small and centrally located in Columbia, MO by industry standards. This is important to show the ability to keep costs down on small projects or scale up accordingly for bigger jobs..

Quantum Digital Solutions almost wasn’t able to bring the Google Street View Virtual Tours service to see the light of day, while there are tools and tutorials available in limited form, much of the development process was trial and error in key areas determining what equipment and software worked best to achieve a level of efficiency and quality needed to offer the service publicly. The problem was overcome with the perseverance of the team members developing a streamlined and efficient post editing process. .

Quantum Digital Solutions has done something different compared to other businesses in the Local Businesses space. The company went forward with the project, offering it publicly to provide small businesses in mid Missouri with an affordable solution for local Street View Tours by being centrally located, cutting travel costs and streamlining the post edit and induction process of high quality imagery and data..

The Google Street View Virtual Tours service will be released as part of Quantum Digital Solutions’s greater plans be an available resource for all mid Missouri small businesses wishing to learn the benefits of being listed and optimized on Google Business, Search and Maps pages and offer the upgraded Virtual Tours at reasonable prices. It’s hoped this goal will be achieved by Fall 2016, and the company will be a fully listed Google Partner, offering free workshops for getting businesses online with Google Services and taking advantage of it’s benefits.

Quantum Digital Solutions new service got it’s start when Founder Al Belcher noticed a growing need for Google Street View and Business Listings. With The founder has 12 years experience working with various google services and tools prior experience in the Local Businesses world, Al Belcher decided to go ahead and start in 2015.

Al Belcher is quoted saying: “We like to do things to connect with our consumers and customers, QuantumDS networks with local area businesses, holds workshops and markets online and through social media., and releasing these little factoids with our Google Street View Virtual Tours service launch are what make a difference.”

Quantum Digital Solutions’s Google Street View Virtual Tours service is set to launch May 2106. To find out more about Quantum Digital Solutions and the new service, it’s possible to visit https://quantumds.com

Cashfloat Publishes Infographic to Turn the Google War on Payday Loans Ads to the Consumers’ Advantage

Cashfloat.co.uk has released an infographic designed to help UK citizens make sense of the Google war on payday loans, and emerge as the winner.

Cashfloat Publishes Infographic to Turn the Google War on Payday Loans Ads to the Consumers’ Advantage

London, United Kingdom – May 25, 2016 /MarketersMedia/

Western Circle Ltd (WCL), a London-based lending company trading as Cashfloat.co.uk, presents consumers with a unique perspective on Google’s new payday loan policy. In a controversial move, Google are ‘banning ads for payday loans and some related products from our ads system’. David Graff, director of global product policy for Google, explained. Google claims that this change is designed to protect Google’s users from deceptive or harmful financial products. Understandably, this move has created an uproar, as action is being taken against legal and licensed businesses without any consultation.

Recently, there has been a lot of focus on unscrupulous payday lenders who charge exorbitant rates and fees for their loans, with unreasonable terms and conditions. The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) have tried to combat this by setting strict rules and regulations in place, resulting in some big names frantically trying to turn their company around and restore their reputation.

Is it Google’s place to take action against these companies? The debate rages on, but Cashfloat, an FCA-authorised lender, has already reached their conclusion. “Google’s move is raising awareness of the need to make sure you’re dealing with a responsible lender. You don’t want the companies who rely on flashy ads to get their customers – you want the companies who become famous through their steady, friendly customer service. At Cashfloat, we pride ourselves in always putting the customers first,” says Jeremy Lloyd, Director at WCL.

Once Google’s new ban comes into place, consumers will find that they require careful guidance in how to choose the best lender for them, without being blinded by showy ads. Cashfloat have broken through the payday lender stereotypes by releasing a loan comparison guide, encouraging UK citizens to make their own accurate comparisons between lenders to ensure they get a good deal with a responsible lender. Other publications by Cashfloat include an online safety guide and various financial guides, helping people take control of their financial life. Cashfloat have made it clear that although Google’s move against the UK payday loan niche will be a game-changer for UK lenders, customers can still find high-class lenders with the correct research.
