Xarelto Lawsuit Cases Make Progress In The Wake Of Public Concern

June 27, 2016 – – TheProductLawyers.com announces the latest developments in the cases against Xarelto and its manufacturers, Janssen Pharmaceuticals (a division of Johnson & Johnson) and Bayer AG. As 2015 came to a close, the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation chose to combine the 2,800 suits claiming harm from use of the anticoagulant in order to expedite the judicial process. By creating the multidistrict litigation (MDL) case number 2592, hearings will proceed more swiftly towards resolution. Judge Eldon Fallon will preside over the cases in the MDL in the Eastern District of Louisiana.

2017 will see four bellwether cases presented for jury panels. This process will provide an opportunity to observe juror reactions to evidence and testimony, which will assist in the future presentation of other case materials. The first and second bellwether cases will commence on February 6th and March 13th of 2017, in the Eastern District of Louisiana. However, the third and fourth cases are slated to be tried in other locations on April 24th and May 30th, respectively.

While Xarelto was initially heralded as a medical breakthrough, both physicians, and the public have since taken a somewhat dimmer view of the new-generation anticoagulant. The drug and its manufacturers have been the objects of scrutiny in a mounting number of lawsuits, which now approach 4,000 individual claims. Many of the plaintiffs represented in MDL 2592 claim that use of the drug placed patients at an increased risk of a catastrophic bleeding event, and further allege that the drug’s manufacturers were negligent in their duty to inform both doctors and patients of this risk.

Even as the bellwether trials approach their dates, plaintiffs are confident that additional cases will continue to swell their numbers. A similar combination of cases is scheduled to appear before the Court of Common Pleas in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The mass tort program represents 550 individual claimants who also claim negligence on the part of the drug manufacturers and exposure to the risk of serious bleeding events.

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.

IVC Filter Lawsuit Plaintiffs Claim Devices Have Life-Threatening Side Effects, As FDA Issues Public Safety Announcement

June 27, 2016 – – TheProductLawyers.com reports on a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Safety Communication related to the high number of adverse reports it has received about IVC filters and their potential to fracture with pieces migrating to other parts of the body. The FDA reminds medical professionals and patients of the risks involved in using the filters. The filters are meant to be used in patients at risk for development of blood clots and that cannot take traditional blood thinning medications. The FDA report also reiterated the filters were only to be used temporarily and needed to be removed as soon as the risk of blood clots had passed.

IVC filters are surgically implanted into patients’ inferior vena cava veins with the intent of capturing blood clots from the lower body, thus preventing them from reaching the heart or lungs, which could precipitate a pulmonary embolism. The filters allegedly hold the clot until they dissipate naturally.

The FDA noted that in a 5–year period between 2005 and 2010 it received in excess of 920 adverse reports focusing on side effects such as perforation of the inferior vena cava, filter migration and fracturing, and embolization of the fractured device or its parts. The agency’s safety communication recommended that patients be keenly aware of any possible symptoms that the filter had migrated, such as chest pain and heart palpitations, dizziness, fainting, light-headedness and out of the ordinary heart patterns. Patients that have experienced issues are at a higher risk of pulmonary embolism or cardiac tamponade.

Many lawsuits have been filed against the various makers of the device with plaintiffs claiming they have are defective and that they can break apart with the pieces migrating to other parts of the body. In some cases, the pieces have embedded in high-risk areas where they cannot be surgically removed, or they have done damage to veins and organs.

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.

Connecticut Man Killed Working On Sewer Line, Spurs Response From Construction Accident Lawyer

June 27, 2016 – – LipsigLawyers.com Thomas Moverman recently commented on a tragic accident that occurred in New Haven, Connecticut, where a local man was fatally injured while working on a local sewer line. Attorney Moverman sends his sincere condolences to the family of the fallen victim, and regretfully, notes that incidents of this nature have grown in frequency at an alarming rate. Moverman hopes that this tragic death will serve as yet another example to federal regulators, the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA), and lawmakers that there is a need to increase construction safety rules and regulations in the near future.

A local news report from NBC Connecticut indicated that on June 20th, a local 55-year-old man was working at a construction site near 2 Boston Post Road when he was struck by a backhoe. Emergency personnel arrived on the scene as quickly as possible and transported the worker to a local hospital, where he perished as a result of the injuries sustained in the accident. The scene of the accident was closed off to the public for several hours, local police and OSHA officials have been called in to investigate the accident.

Federal OSHA has indicated that nearly 900 construction workers sustained fatal injuries while on the job in 2014, making up over 20 % of all worker fatalities in the private industry in that year. Individuals being struck by an object, as was the case in the recent New Haven tragedy, was the third leading cause of death for construction workers in 2014, and is one of the four causes of death that make up construction’s ‘Fatal Four.’ The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) indicated that construction’s ‘Fatal Four’ made up nearly 60 % of construction worker deaths in 2014, and included fatal work injuries as a result of falls (359), electrocutions (74), along with being struck by objects (73), or caught between equipment (12).

Lipsig, Shapey, Manus, & Moverman admire the hard work that construction workers put in on a daily basis and believe that all individuals affected by the burden of construction accidents are entitled to extensive legal support and advice. Moreover, Thomas Moverman is currently offering complimentary legal consultations to all victims. Moverman has an impressive previous record representing construction accident victims, often times resulting in sizable financial compensation for clients. In one such case, a victim sustained fractured ribs and injured his spine from a scaffolding fall. With Moverman’s counsel, the victim was awarded 2.6 million dollars in compensation for his damages.

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

Concord NC – June 27, 2016 /MarketersMedia/

Fireplace & Granite Distributors is pleased to announce the addition of a line of tiny houses for sale in NC. The contractors help with all types of home remodeling projects, from kitchen counter-tops to bathroom remodels. The firm has recently added a selection of tiny houses. These structures are an option which is growing in popularity for those individuals and families which are downsizing or who want to spend less on housing in order to place other activities at a higher priority.

Owner Bob Faust explained to an interviewer, “Many customers come to us with different types of needs, and each one is important to us. We know that they have different reasons for wanting a Tiny House. And we want to help. With the typical family home costing $290,000 and requiring a down payment of $58,000, a lot of people in the “new normal” will not or cannot pay that cost. Sixty-eight percent of tiny house owners have no mortgage, compared to a whopping 70% of US home owners, strapped with a monthly payment.”

There are multiple other uses for choosing tiny houses. Families can add a tiny house as a guest cottage for visitors or an in-law home for elderly parents. Some families use the mini-structures as a vacation cabin to share with family or friends. Some families use a tiny house as an office or man-cave or game room. Businesses can place a structure on-site for a sales center, adult children, or a hobby room.

The line of tiny houses is available in a number of styles. Some units feature lofts, extra bedrooms, laundry, and porches. The floor space is up to four hundred square feet, although some units are smaller. Prices are affordable for many people who would otherwise be unable to own.

Entrepreneurial Approach to Private Healthcare Practice System Expand Doctors Satisfaction & Patient Access

Dr. John Hayes teaches medical professionals how to restore personal satisfaction in their healthcare career.

June 27, 2016 /MarketersMedia/

It is no secret that both patient and Doctor satisfaction with current healthcare is at an all time low. The exception is a new breed of private practice spearheaded by Dr John Hayes Jr.

“The implementation of entrepreneurial private healthcare practice systems breaks the bondage of traditional models and puts private practice owners back in charge of their practice while empowering patients and restoring doctors personal and financial freedom,” says Dr. John Hayes, private practice analyst and strategist and the author of the EVVY Nominated book, Living & Practicing by Design.

Hayes believes teaching physicians crucial CEO skills and systems, can give private practice owners of all disciplines the ability to take control of their private practice and watch it flourish improving patient access, choice and satisfaction.

Hayes’ is pioneering an entrepreneurial approach to private practice that he believes is essential for medical professionals to remain competitive in a rapidly changing healthcare marketplace.

Tom McDonough from Forbes Magazine, believes applying an entrepreneur mindset is essential for managing one’s career.

“Developing an entrepreneurial mindset is key to successfully managing one’s career in this time of rapid market change and the uncertainty it brings,” says McDonough.

Dr. Hayes teaches the implementation of key systems and skill sets to enable doctors to learn and master the art of staffing, delegation, and ultimately profitability. One essential skill set Hayes believes medical professionals can implement for a cutting edge in patient retention and satisfaction is marketing.

“Learning essential components of traditional marketing as well as social media integration restores personal and financial freedom to private practice,” says Hayes.

Dr. Hayes has long been somewhat of a pioneer in his focus of patient-centric applications by integrating holistic and traditional healthcare into private practices for over 30 years. He is also an EVVY Award Nominee for his book “Living and Practicing by Design” as well as the bestselling author of “Beating Neuropathy- Taking Misery to Miracles in Just 5 Weeks.”

Dr. Hayes teaches medical professionals how to restore personal satisfaction in their healthcare career through his training program Practice by Design™. Once implemented, his private practice systems can assist for years to come.

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy Available Through New, Online Course Reduces Parasuicidal Behavior

Individuals with Borderline Personality Disorder can replace damaged relationships and guilt with more suitable reactions.

June 27, 2016 /MarketersMedia/

Many people lash out on their loved ones, resulting in them beating themselves up with guilt. Access to Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) groups are limited and result in long waitlists with most not qualifying for enrollment because they can only take the most severe clients.

Richelle Futch, MSW developer of this new online course has created access for people who would otherwise be waitlisted.

“The goal of this training is to decrease interpersonal chaos, Labile affect, impulsiveness, and confusion about self,” says Futch. “This training teaches them to understand their emotions, have more effective responses, and replace guilt with a more appropriate emotion.”

Richelle’s online course is designed to help people who fly off the handle and lash out at their loved ones resulting in overwhelming guilt and damaged relationships.

Jerold J. Kreisman, author of I Hate You, Don’t Leave Me: Understanding the Borderline Personality, describes what it’s like living with Borderline Personality Disorder.

“Borderlines typically respond to depression, anxiety, frustration, or anger with more layers of these same feelings,” says Kreisman. “Because of the borderline’s perfectionism and tendency to perceive things in black-and-white extremes, he attempts to obliterate unpleasant feelings rather than understand or cope with them. When he finds that he cannot simply erase these bad feelings, he becomes even more frustrated or guilty. Since feeling bad is unacceptable, he feels bad about feeling bad. When this makes him feel worse, he becomes caught in a seemingly bottomless downward spiral.”

Richelle’s mission is to help individuals avoid those downward spirals by giving access to people who need help and are unable to get support through traditional ways.

Currently Richelle has limited individual clients and is focusing her efforts on coaching her online skills training clients. Richelle is currently enrolling for her next rounds of skills training on her website.

Hot Tubs and Spas Des Moines, Dealer Participates In Effective Communications Month

Des Moines Hot Tubs and Spas Dealer Publishes Helpful Guide – Communication Tips to Strengthen Relationships, Offering Free Hot Tub Test Soaks to Des Moines Residents.

June 27, 2016 /MM-prReach/

Hot Spring Spas of Des Moines, a hot tub dealer selling new and used hot tubs, portable spas, swim spas and saunas shares 3 Fast and Affordable Communication Tips to Strengthen Relationships.

Thad Schaben, of Hot Spring Spas of Des Moines says, “Relationships with others are an important part of daily life, and the only way to truly have a good relationship is to talk about what is important”. Whether it is work or home, expressing ideas, feelings, emotions and desires is an easy way to stay on track and accomplish goals.

Here are three fast and affordable communication tips to strengthen relationships

Create a comfortable environment for getting together –  The first thing people can do is to create a comfortable environment for getting together with loved ones. Set up an area in the yard or on a porch that is secluded and private. A two-person hot tub, even a swim spa instantly becomes a peaceful conversation pit and a healthy way to reduce stress and anxiety.

Add a hot tub to the space to seal the deal, adding luxury, relaxation and soothing comfort. A two-person hot tub, even a swim spa instantly becomes a peaceful conversation pit and a healthy way to reduce stress and anxiety.

Even a small hot tub can be a spa-like getaway that removes family members from the tensions of everyday life or frustrations that build up in the home. A calm environment for teens and parents to talk and couples to manage disagreements, a hot tub at home is a happy, safe place.

Set Rules – Rules need to be created to establish a safe setting for discussions. Employers or school administrators can enforce rules at work or school, but family members need to accept the responsibility of creating a place of safety for family. Demand that everyone be fair while keeping anger in check – particularly when someone disagrees. It is acceptable for loved ones to have their own feelings about issues, whether they are social, political or life-oriented.

Ask for Responses – Being accepting does not mean having no opinion. The idea behind communication is for two or more people to become involved in a discussion. If family members, work associates or schoolmates talk about issues, desires or goals, and others are afraid to join in easily, set them at ease by asking for responses to ideas or issues.
