June 13, 2016 – – LipsigLawyers.com reports on more cases of injury resulting from electronic cigarette explosions. The Food and Drug Administration is not yet tracking statistics on adverse events from the devices, they note but is requesting that those who have experienced adverse events visit their MedWatch page to file a report detailing the incident. Many users that have experienced explosions have later stated that they were not fully aware of the risks when using electronic cigarettes. A North Carolina e-cigarette user, a resident of Sneads Ferry, states that he was unaware of the dangers due to small print on the warning label. His late-night e-cigarette break was interrupted by the unit exploding in his face, resulting in burns, pain, and temporary vision loss. The spray from the unit felt like “hot oil,” he reported, and it turns out that two ingredients in his e-cigarette “juice,” alcohol and propylene glycol, are combustible fluids. The warning on the box of his device was so small, he said, “I could hardly read it.” After experiencing an e-cigarette explosion himself, he reflects on the event stating, “I had no idea,” he says, “that it could pack a punch like that.”

A Brooklyn boy of 14, trying out an e-cigarette at a mall kiosk also experienced an e-cig explosion. He received severe burns on his hands, a ripped cornea, and his left eye may be permanently blinded by the event.

Attorney Marc Freund is currently working to assist this boy as he and his father pursue legal action, and he is working to help others who have found themselves in the same boat. Those who believe they have been harmed by an e-cigarette are greatly encouraged to explore their legal options in the matter, as they may be entitled to significant compensation. To better assist individuals who wish to investigate their rights more fully, Attorney Freund is now offering free legal consultations to qualified parties.

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

June 13, 2016 – – TheProductLawyers.com reports on the numbers of Xarelto lawsuits that have been consolidated together because of the uniformity of the allegations being made about the drug’s dangerous side effects. All plaintiffs are claiming that Xarelto may place patients using the drug at a much higher risk for dangerous and life-threatening instances of uncontrollable bleeding, as well as other adverse impacts. The consolidated cases also share the same defendants, Janssen Pharmaceuticals, a subsidiary of the Johnson and Johnson Corporation, and Bayer AG, which manufacture the drug both overseas and in the United States.

There are currently two groups of consolidated cases. The first is a mass tort program in Philadelphia, PA that was completed under the direction of the Court of Common Pleas. There are 550 cases in this tort program, and it has been reported that since the cases are still in the pretrial and discovery phases, there may be a possibility of more lawsuits being filed, thus increasing the current number.

The second group of cases number over 2,800 and were consolidated into a Multidistrict Litigation (MDL) with a decree made by the U.S. Judicial Panel for Multidistrict Litigation (JPML) and has been assigned number 2592. The cases are being overseen and administered in a federal court in the Eastern District of Louisiana. Plaintiffs in all of the cases in the multidistrict litigation (MDL) concur that the manufacturers of Xarelto were negligent and reckless in releasing Xarelto onto the market without fully disclosing the nature of the potentially dangerous risks associated with the drug.

Xarelto has also been the recipient of two black box warnings by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). A black box warning is the most severe warning that can be issued by the FDA and can frequently be a precursor to a drug being pulled from the 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.

June 13, 2016 – – LipsigLawyers.com’s Thomas Moverman references a recent development in Staten Island where New York Buildings Department officials claim safety violations were the cause of the injuries sustained by a local construction worker. Moverman states that with revisions to current inspection methods, along with alterations to current safety procedures and regulations, the safety of construction workers nationwide would increase monumentally.

As detailed in a local report from SILive.com, New York Buildings Department officials found safety violations at the scene of an accident where a 40-year-old man was critically injured on April 20th. The site of the accident was at Staten Island University Hospital in Ocean Breeze. Reports indicate that the man was struck in the head by an excavator, shortly after the victim was taken to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for treatment. New York Buildings Department officials issued a stop-work order, the contractor is required to safeguard the site, which hopefully should minimize the potential for future accidents.

The Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) concluded that in 2014, workers being struck by objects was the third leading cause of death for workers in private construction. There were 73 work-related deaths to construction workers in 2014, accounting for 8.4 % of construction accident fatalities for the calendar year in private construction.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) claim that in 2014 there were nearly 3,000,000 non-fatal injuries and illnesses along with roughly 5,000 fatalities in the private industry. In the nearly 3 million non-fatal cases, approximately ⅓ of the victims missed at least 1 day of work. In 2014 however, the average amount of days that an individual missed as a result of a non-fatal injury or illness was 9 days.

Lipsig,Shapey, Manus, & Moverman are prepared to offer all construction accident victims their comprehensive legal advice. In an attempt to equip each victim with the extensive support that they deserve in their time of need the firm is offering complimentary legal consultations. Attorney Thomas Moverman has covered a vastly diverse collection of construction accident lawsuit cases, often times resulting in notable compensation for his clients. In one case, the firm was able to secure a victim $20,000,000 as after the individual fell into a collapsed trench and sustained severe injuries.

June 13, 2016 – – TheProductLawyers.com reports on a condition which prompts the use of IVC filters. Pulmonary embolism is defined by WebMD as a sudden blockage of a major blood vessel in the lung, usually by a blood clot. The risk of this ailment is one of the main reasons patients will have an IVC filter implanted. The ailment is diagnosed by several symptoms such as sudden shortness of breath, chest pain that is worse when coughing or taking a breath and a cough that brings up pink, foamy mucus.

Patients who are at a high risk of blood clots that could potentially lead to pulmonary embolism, such as those who have been in a car accident, suffered gunshot or stab wounds or had a serious fall, may be treated with an IVC filter if anticoagulant drugs do not significantly lower the risk of blood clots.

The filters, however, have come under scrutiny by many patients who say that the filters have broken apart while in use, causing serious adverse side effects.

A number of patients who have claimed to suffer from such complications have filed legal claims against manufacturers for poor design, manufacturing and failing to warn of risks. Lawsuits against Bard were first filed in 2012 in California and Pennsylvania state courts and were combined into a Multidistrict Litigation (MDL) Panel in the U.S. District Court of Arizona in 2015. Those cases against Cook Medical have been combined to an MDL in the Southern District of Indiana.

Attorneys at Banville Law have years of experience fighting large pharmaceutical companies in pursuit of justice for victims. The firm is currently offering free consultations to those who believe they have been negatively affected by the use of an IVC filter. Qualifying individuals may be entitled to significant legal action and substantial financial compensation.

For more information on IVC filters, to ask questions, or to schedule a consultation, contact an attorney at Banville Law by calling (888)-997-3792.

June 13, 2016 – – TheProductLawyers.com reports on the death of a Xarelto user who suffered a subdural hemorrhage which doctors were unable to stop since the drug remained in his system. His widow alleges the hemorrhage was caused by taking Xarelto, a blood-thinning drug manufactured by Janssen Pharmaceuticals, a subsidiary of the Johnson and Johnson Corporation, and Bayer Healthcare. The widow has filed a lawsuit against the makers of the drug claiming that they did not sufficiently warn consumers about the dangerous bleeding risks associated with the drug. Her case was originally filed in the State of Florida but is now part of the 2,800 cases that have been consolidated by a decision of the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPML). The multidistrict litigation (MDL 2592) cases are being overseen in federal court in the Eastern District of Louisiana under the administrative hand of Judge Eldon Fallon.

In addition to the cases encompassed in MDL 2592, there are 550 more cases that the Court of Common Pleas in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania has consolidated in a mass tort program.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Xarelto to be released to the consumer market in 2011. At the time, Xarelto was touted as a successful, new-generation blood thinner as it was unlike its predecessor drugs. With Xarelto, patients no longer had to follow strict, special diets nor did they have to be continually monitored by medical professionals. Unfortunately, this excitement over the drug and its benefits was short lived as lawsuits began to accumulate. Today, many plaintiffs that have filed lawsuits against the manufacturers of the drug claiming it puts patients at increased risks of suffering uncontrollable, and sometimes fatal, bleeding episodes. The FDA seems to concur since it has issued two black box warnings against Xarelto. Black box warnings are the harshest warnings the FDA can give to a product and many times it is a precursor to it being taken off the 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.

June 13, 2016 – – TheProductLawyers.com reports on the consolidation of over 2,800 Xarelto lawsuits by the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPML). The multidistrict litigation (MDL) has been placed under the jurisdiction of the Honorable Judge Eldon Fallon in the Eastern District of Louisiana and has been assigned number 2592. The Court of Common Pleas in Philadelphia, PA also created a mass tort program of 550 cases.

One case in particular that was filed by a South Florida resident, and is now part of the MDL, involved the death of the plaintiff’s husband who, at the time, was taking Xarelto as a preventative measure for strokes due to his atrial fibrillation heart condition. She is alleging in her court documents that the manufacturers of the drug, Janssen Pharmaceuticals, a subdivision of the Johnson and Johnson Corporation, and Bayer Healthcare, were responsible for her husband’s death since they failed to warn consumers about the potentially dangerous bleeding risks associated with the blood thinner. He died of a subdural hemorrhage after doctors were unable to stop the excessive bleeding.

Xarelto was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and released on the market in In 2011. It was being promoted as a successful and exciting new-generation blood thinner because unlike traditional blood thinner medications before it, the drug did not require special diets nor did patients have to be consistently monitored by their physicians. These advancements and benefits gave the drug a lot of popularity initially but it quickly became the topic of thousands of lawsuits which allege the drug can cause episodes of life-threatening bleeding. Furthermore, the FDA has issued Xarelto two black box warnings that essentially are the worst issuances that can be garnered prior to a drug being removed completely 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.

June 13, 2016 – – TheProductLawyers.com reports on the different types of IVC (Inferior Vena Cava) filters available to patients who are unable to use an anticoagulant drug. According to Northwestern Medicine, there are two types of filters available to patients who may be treated with them. Permanent filters may be placed in patients with a permanent complication to anticoagulant drugs, the site says. For those patients who have only a temporary risk of venous thromboembolism retrievable filters are available and can be removed once the risk has decreased.

A number of patients have claimed to suffer from serious complications after having the devices implanted. Those complications have included device migration, filter fracture, embolization (movement of the entire filter or fracture fragments to the heart or lungs), perforation of the IVC, and difficulty removing the device. Some patients claim the devices may cause them medical complications in the future, due to the fact that they are unable to be removed from their body.

Many individuals have filed lawsuits against manufacturers such as C.R. Bard and Cook Medical for poor design, manufacturing and failing to warn of serious risks associated with the use of the device. Cases against Cook Medical have been combined to an MDL (number 2570) in the Southern District of Indiana. Lawsuits against Bard were first filed in 2012 in California and Pennsylvania state courts and were combined into a Multidistrict Litigation (MDL) Panel in the U.S. District Court of Arizona in 2015.

Attorneys at Banville Law have years of experience fighting large pharmaceutical companies in pursuit of justice for victims.

June 13, 2016 – – TheProductLawyers.com reports on the circumstances under which patients might be recommended for IVC (Inferior Vena Cava) filter use. In cases where patients have suffered a serious injury such as those resulting from car accidents, gunshot or stabbing wounds, spinal cord injury or serious falls, doctors may recommend the use of an IVC filter. In these situations, patients typically undergo surgery and face an increased risk of uncontrolled bleeding if placed on anticoagulant drugs. In those cases, alternatives such as IVC filters may be utilized by doctors.

Complications have, however, been associated with the devices according to a communication by the FDA in May 2014. Reports have included device migration, embolization (movement of the entire filter or fractured fragments to the heart or lungs), perforation of the IVC, and difficulty removing the device. Patients have claimed that the devices have broken apart while in use, causing serious side effects.

Following those claims, many patients have filed suits against manufacturers for poor design, manufacturing and failing to warn of risks. Lawsuits against Bard were first filed in 2012 in California and Pennsylvania state courts and were combined into a Multidistrict Litigation (MDL) Panel in the U.S. District Court of Arizona in 2015.

June 13, 2016 – – Thomas Moverman of LipsigLawyers.com utilized the recent development in Warren, Illinois as an example of the modern-day dangers of the construction industry. Attorney Moverman notes that incidents of this nature are not uncommon. He reiterates, that without the implementation of additional safety regulations, and procedures construction workers will continue to face potentially life-threatening situations on a day-to-day basis.

A local news report from WQAD.com provided details on the Warren incident. As detailed in the report, on May 2nd two Wisconsin construction workers were severely injured when a lift they were using to install a roof tipped over, propelling the two men to the ground. The report indicates that one man was 37 years old, the other was 52 years old. Furthermore, authorities stated that both men were airlifted to a local hospital for treatment.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics indicates that in 2014 in private industries, there were 247,120 non-fatal injuries and illnesses that occurred as a result of falls,slips, and trips. On average workers missed 9 days of work each in order to be treated and properly recover from the trauma they sustained.
