July 18, 2016 – – LipsigLawyers.com reports on an e-cigarette explosion that occurred in Albany, NY on May 19th. A WTVR.com news story stated that the victim suffered severe burns, lost several of his teeth, and sustained a punctured hole in his tongue when his e-cig allegedly exploded. WTVR.com also reported that the victim muffled speech and could not speak well as a result of the incident. A subsequent report by the local NBC affiliate station, WNYT.com, stated that the victim filed a lawsuit on June 22nd. The victim’s legal representation is surmising that the lithium-ion battery was to blame for the explosion.

In addition to this particular case, the sixth e-cig-related explosion since 2009, there have been other lawsuits filed in New York State recently. The first e-cigarette case was filed not long after a young man from Brooklyn sustained severe burns and lost eyesight in his left eye as a result of an explosion on April 5th. The 14-year-old boy was holding an e-cig at the Kings Plaza Mall at a kiosk which an employee plugged in when the device allegedly exploded in his hand. This case is on-going and the teen and his father have hired Attorney Marc Freund of LipsigLawyers.com to represent them.

Attorney Freund has extended best wishes and hopes for a fast recovery from the injuries suffered from the May 19th explosion.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has stated that the most likely culprit in the explosions is the faulty lithium-ion batteries. FEMA maintains this position due to the unstable lithium-ion battery core, which is subject to a very strong overload of energy. When such an overload occurs, because of the instability of the battery, this can cause an explosion along with a possibility of flames which have occurred in many instances.

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.

July 18, 2016 – – A recent lawsuit has ended with a $70 million loss for Janssen Pharmaceuticals. The pharmaceutical company is the producer of Risperdal, a drug that has been approved since 1993 to treat schizophrenia in adults.

It was reported that the said amount “has been awarded against Janssen Pharmaceuticals ending a Risperdal lawsuit brought by plaintiff Andrew Yount.” The plaintiff alleged that he experienced excessive breast growth while he was taking the antipsychotic drug. Yount, who was born in 1998, began taking the drug in 2003 to treat a severe psychiatric issue, and states that one year later in 2004, he began experiencing growth in his breast area.

“It’s not an uncommon complaint,” says a spokesperson for the organization with website at www.risperdal-settlement.com, which focuses on this drug and its complications and lawsuits.

This particular trial focused on the pharmaceutical company, which is a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, and stated that the company withheld vital information that shows a substantial link between Risperdal and excessive breast growth. Attorneys used as evidence labels from the drug as well as internal documents from the pharmaceutical company and argued that purposeful steps were taken to shield the community from this information. They pointed out that Janssen failed to acknowledge and reveal all of the risks associated with the drug.

As a result, the jury found that the pharmaceutical company intentionally falsified or destroyed records that would alert the community of this risk and awarded $70 million in compensatory damages to the plaintiff. This is the fifth case against Janssen to go to trial, and the largest award amount to date.

Risperdal is an atypical antipsychotic drug that changes how certain natural substances in the brain react. The FDA initially approved the drug in the 1990’s for use in adults, and as of September 2012, there have been more than 400 lawsuits against the drug for various side effects. Side effects include male breast growth as well as high blood sugar, stroke, heart attack, tardive dyskinesia, and in some cases, death.

Those interested in keeping up with the claims and settlements against the pharmaceutical company involving Risperdal can follow the Twitter account at https://twitter.com/Risperdallawsui.

July 18, 2016 – – LipsigLawyers.com’s Thomas Moverman offered his condolences after news of a worker’s death followed his 30-foot fall at a Longboat Key construction site. Moverman added that these cases are always troubling and that he wishes the friends and family of the worker comfort as they grieve their loss.

ABC7 reported the news early last month stating that the man had been working at Beach Walk condominium complex when fire departments received the call. The man fell from scaffolding onto the concrete pavement and suffered severe head trauma. He was in critical condition at a nearby hospital and had to undergo emergency surgery. He died on July 7.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration has set forth criteria for scaffolding with which companies are expected to comply. The standards address various aspects of the scaffolding including strength criteria, the width of walkways, guardrails and spacing between platform units.

Scaffolding accidents are among the top most common accidents on construction sites.The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that in 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. These instances can result in multiple injuries including broken bones, impalement, amputations, spinal cord injuries and brain injuries but have also resulted in death.

Lipsig, Shapey, Manus & Moverman have been representing victims of construction accidents for years. The firm has successfully obtained millions in settlements for those victims and strongly believes in fighting for the compensation victims need and deserve. Lipsig, Shapey, Manus & Moverman is currently looking to assist those individuals who have been injured in a construction accident and qualifying individuals may be entitled to financial compensation.

For more information on construction injuries, or for a consultation, contact an attorney with Lipsig, Shapey, Manus & Moverman at (646)-846-4496.

July 18, 2016 – – TheProductLawyers.com outlines the common allegations that IVC filter lawsuit plaintiffs have claimed in their suits against the manufacturers of various brands of filters. Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that occurs when a blood clot forms within a deep vein, leading to an increased risk of pulmonary embolism, and post- thrombotic syndrome. Some of the most common symptoms of DVT are increased swelling, tenderness, discoloration of the skin, along with pain and fatigue.

IVC filters are meant to prevent inferior vena cava thrombosis, which is the formation of a clot in the IVC, the largest vein in the body, that in turn limits deoxygenated blood from reaching vital organs such as the heart and lungs. IVC filters are cage-like devices that were made to minimize the risk of blood clots, however, patients have continued to claim that the devices have adverse side effects. Radiologists at Massachusetts General Hospital concluded in a study they conducted that 3.7 % of IVC filter patients being monitored died of pulmonary embolism, providing some factual evidence for current plaintiffs.

In recent years hundreds of patients have filed lawsuits against IVC filter manufacturers, in most cases naming C.R. Bard and Cook Medical as defendants. Plaintiffs generally claim that the two companies were negligent in releasing the devices which they claim were aware of the defective design of the devices yet marketed them anyway. Additionally, plaintiffs allege that the manufacturers failed to warn users of the potential risks associated with the devices and marketed them as safe to future potential users.

Moreover, 2 Multidistrict Litigations (MDL) have been consolidated against device manufacturers Cook Medical and C.R. Bard, one in the Southern District of Indiana (No. 2570), and another at the U.S. District Court of Arizona (No. 2641). Both MDLs are in the process of developing bellwether cases, in an attempt to expedite the process of justice.

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.

July 18, 2016 – – A new study to alleviate cervicogenic headaches has shown that there are alternative methods to medication. Cervicogenic headaches in children have been historically treated with botox and other medication. This study, however, shows that a new treatment method has potential to be safer and more effective.

Dr. Tymothy L. Flory with Atlas Spinal Care in Upland, California says, “Studies indicate that a gentle realignment of the neck can help to significantly relieve the pain associated with these types of headaches.”

Dr. Flory is referencing a research study that involved an eight year old girl with neck pain and cervicogenic headaches. The child’s mother reported that the girl suffered with pain for more than four months, at a consistency of two or more headaches per week. Tylenol was recommended, but was not effective. Gentle spinal adjustments, however, were applied and the girl’s condition was resolved.

The patient received gentle structural correction of her cervical spine. After four appointments, her neck pain and headaches were gone. The case study presents hope that chiropractic care for children with these issues can be a very effective form of treatment, and one that does not require over the counter or prescription medications.

“Conventional treatment for children with this medical issue involves botox or giving them Tylenol PRN or another prescription medication,” says Dr. Flory. “Parents and physicians alike would like to avoid this type of treatment in children, particularly younger children, and simply treat the issue with something that is not laden with potentially negative side effects.”

Atlas Spinal Care specializes in structural correction of the head and neck and has successfully cared for many patients with headaches stemming from the neck. The practice urges parents to consider this alternative to conventional treatment as a means of helping to alleviate neck and headache pain in children, as it is a natural approach and in most cases can be more effective than medication. Dr. Flory states that his practice has seen many children permanently relieved of these types of headaches.

Parents and health professionals who are interested in learning more about this chiropractic practice or their treatment options for headache relief can visit them on their official website, www.AtlasSpinalCare.com or by calling (909) 982-9100.

July 18, 2016 – – Burning Fruit is a company in Barron Parade, Perth, Western Australia, that has announced new web design packages for local and global businesses. The company recently launched this new realm of services, and states that they can assist businesses in creating an online presence.

Steve Wigley with Burning Fruit says, “In today’s technological world, your business has to be online or you are going to miss quite a few customers. We can help you to establish that critical online presence to take your business to the next level.”

Wigley says that designing websites can be difficult, particularly for those with no experience. He says that many business owners opt to try to create their own websites because they feel that design services are not needed or that they are too expensive. This, he says, is where they go wrong.

“If you don’t know what you’re doing, you’re doing it wrong,” Wigley states. “Someone who has never designed a website has no idea what is going to work; how to reach those customers; and more crucially, how to reach those top search engine page results.”

Wigley says that web design is definitely not for anyone, and that designing a site that is specifically geared toward a select audience, and that will reach out to those people, can be very difficult. The company’s profile can be seen on their website at burningfruit.com. Wigley says that the profile offers a good look at business web designs that they have done, and gives businesses an idea of what the company can do for them.

Burning Fruit specializes in helping businesses to bring their brand into the limelight, ensuring that it remains there. Wigley says that with the many years of experience that he and his staff possess, businesses can trust them to help raise awareness of their brand. The company’s mission is to maximize engagement for a business’ target audience, and to help that company gain massive exposure, creating a better revenue stream and overall business success.

More about the company can be seen on their official Burning Fruit Twitter profile, where businesses can connect with them to learn more about brand awareness.

July 18, 2016 – – ABC Self Storage Perth has announced their official grand opening in Bibra Lake, Western Australia. The facility offers storage for cars, boats, and other larger items. Geoff Campbell, owner and operator of ABC Self Storage Perth says, “We’re glad to be offering mass storage for customers. If you’ve got larger items that need to be stored, we’ve got the storage space for them.”

Campbell explains that the facility is a safe and convenient alternative to storing cars, boats, trucks, and other larger items in yards or garages. He states that many people these days simply do not have the space to safely store antique cars, for instance, and that instead of leaving those cars exposed to the elements or taking up functional space in the garage, the company offers a better alternative. The storage containers are of warehouse size and style, working much like those that one would see on docks. The company states that this particular type of storage unit offers flexibility over those that are located inside a central building.

“Whether you’ve got a million dollar antique or just an old junker that you need for parts, you can store them in our facility, and we make it convenient for you to come and go, so you’ll always have access to your vehicle,” says Campbell.

The storage facility is providing short, medium, or long term leasing options, Campbell says, to make paying convenient. They offer storage for vehicles as well as medium to large sized boats, and caravans. Campbell states that the terms offer flexibility so that those who do not need storage at various seasons of the year will not be charged. More about the storage facility can be seen on their website at abcselfstorageperth.com.au/car-storage/.

The storage facility provides watertight storage to protect vehicles, Campbell says. In addition it offers security from theft, and protection from extreme weather. Campbell states that the facility will be serving all areas of Perth including Fremantle and the surrounding suburbs. Pricing for various units can be seen on the company’s website, and more information about future services can be seen on their official FB page.
