As E-Cigarette Explosion Lawsuit Filings Increase, Alleged Victim Says More Must Be Done

May 23, 2016 – – LipsigLawyers.com reports on a recent update from NBC 4 Southern California which details current news surrounding a man who allegedly lost his eye last month when the battery of his e-cigarette exploded, sending debris toward his head. The man is now reportedly speaking out following last week’s announcement that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration will begin to review hundreds of brands of e-cigarette devices. The agency noted that they would regulate some of the batteries which are being used in the devices, and would also oversee the amount of nicotine that goes into each. But, after claiming that he lost an eye from an e-cigarette explosion, one man has demanded that more needs to be done to better regulate e-cigarettes.

The man states that on April 15th of 2016 he was smoking an e-cigarette while working in his home office when he placed the device on his desk. It suddenly exploded, according to the man, launching debris toward his head and igniting a fire on his computer. The man is quoted as stating, “If I would have had that in my hand or up in my mouth when it went off…I’m grateful it wasn’t worse.”

It was reported that the debris from the e-cigarette device managed to smash his orbital and sinus bones and that it has left pieces of shrapnel in his eyeball. Unfortunately as the article discusses, this man is not the only one to report suffering significant damage after an e-cigarette explosion. The release states that “In February, a man in San Diego was taken to a hospital with burns on his leg caused by one such explosion.”

Attorney Marc Freund of Lipsig, Shapey, Manus & Moverman is currently assisting several clients who are pursuing legal action following reported e-cigarette explosion injuries. He understands the seriousness of this possibility, and how many consumers it could affect. Attorney Freund notes that anyone who feels that they have been injured by an e-cigarette explosion should take the time to investigate their full legal rights in the matter, as they may be entitled to significant compensation. To help those who wish to learn more about their options, Attorney Freund is now offering free consultations for qualified parties.

To request additional information on e-cigarette explosion lawsuits, or to ask questions, please contact Attorney Freund of Lipsig, Shapey, Manus & Moverman by calling 877-711-9545.

Technology Is Tops At Oldest Travel Agency In America

May 23, 2016 – – Birmingham, Alabama – Today, Brownell Travel unveils a state-of-the art interactive video wall in their Birmingham headquarters. Brownell, the oldest travel agency in North America, has made technology and innovation a priority since the advent of personal computers in the early 1980s. Innovation has been a key differentiator for the company, allowing Brownell to grow to become a $160 million powerhouse while the majority of traditional brick-and-mortar agencies succumbed to the rise of the Internet.

Brownell’s “Wall to the World” will allow travel advisors, clients, and travel suppliers to connect in real-time and sparkling high-definition. The TV display, spanning more than 10 feet, was conceived and installed with the help of Birmingham-based Switch Audio Visual.

Some planned applications are live, virtual tours of hotels and resorts as well as global travel training via advanced video-conferencing.

Brownell will also be able to connect clients with their local contacts in destinations around the world for “meet and greets” and Q&A sessions.

“Imagine being able to meet your local guide and start forming a relationship before your trip,” said Haisley Smith, Brownell Vice President of Marketing and Development. “This technology will eliminate pre-trip anxiety and help us introduce our clients to the local people who will be taking care of them in a meaningful way.”

In the coming month, Brownell will welcome a group of travelers into the office for a sneak peek at a few of the resorts and lodges they will visit during an upcoming trip to Australia and New Zealand.

May 23, 2016 – – LipsigLawyers.com’s Thomas Moverman commented on the recent death of a Greenwich Village construction worker, expressing his sympathies and stating that unfortunately these situations are not uncommon.

The victim was killed by a falling piece of scaffolding as he was finishing up construction work on a Thursday afternoon in Greenwich Village. When officers arrived on the scene, they found him unconscious on the ground with severe head and neck injuries, according to reports by ABC7. The New York Department of Buildings stated that there were several violations found at the site and the victim’s family are now claiming that the companies employing non-union workers are putting profit ahead of safety.

According to the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA), there are about 2.3 million construction workers in the United States at any given time.

Common scaffolding injuries include broken bones, amputations, brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and impalement.

The Bureau of Labor statistics stated that in the cases of 72 percent of workers that were injured in scaffolding accidents, the accident was caused either by the planking or support giving way, the employee slipping, or being struck by a falling object.

Lawyers at Lipsig, Shapey, Manus & Moverman are currently looking to assist individuals who have been injured in a construction accident. Mr. Moverman has represented hundreds of victims involved in these accidents and, in some cases, has helped those individuals receive the compensation they deserve. One victim represented by Lipsig, Shapey, Manus & Moverman was awarded $2.6 million after he suffered fractured ribs and an injured spine following a fall from defective scaffolding.

As Lawsuit Filings Accumulate, Arizona Teen Is Hospitalized Following E-Cig Explosion

May 23, 2016 – – LipsigLawyers.com reports on an Arizona teen injured in an e-cigarette explosion that may leave her hospitalized for one to two weeks. A report by ABC15 indicates that a 17-year-old Maricopa girl is currently in the hospital awaiting surgery after she was severely burned by an exploding e-cigarette. The girl stated that she was getting ready to use the device when it suddenly exploded. The explosion caught her clothes on fire and left her with serious burns on her chest, arms, hands, and side, according to the article.

For some e-cigarette users, this is a harsh reality. Similar cases of exploding e-cigarettes have been reported in several states including Georgia, where a Fulton man suffered second and third-degree burns when his device exploded in his pocket. Other cases of exploding cigarettes have been reported in Florida, New York, North Carolina, Alabama, Idaho, Oklahoma, Colorado, and Utah.

Since the devices became available, they have grown significantly in popularity with FEMA estimating about 2.5 million American users. Recently, the FDA has moved to regulate the devices along with other tobacco products, even going so far as to ban the sale of e-cigarettes to minors. Many of the cases involving e-cigarette explosions have resulted in lawsuits against the manufacturers and stores at which they were sold.

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.
