URGENT PHENYLPROPANOLAMINE WARNING!
HAVE YOU OR A LOVED ONE SUFFERED A STROKE OR HEART ATTACK? Over 400 well-known over-the-counter and prescription drugs for Cold, Flu, Cough, Allergy and Sinus trouble, Diet Aids, and Energy/Metabolism Boosters have recently been pulled from the shelves. These products contained phenylpropanolamine, or PPA, which has recently been linked to stroke and heart attacks. PPA is used in cold and allergy medications to relieve nasal congestion and in diet, products to control appetite. Thousands of innocent consumers have suffered strokes and heart attacks, often resulting in death or disablement, from taking these popular medications. People taking products containing PPA are at an increased risk of hemorrhagic strokes or bleeding of the brain. It has recently been linked to causing up to 500 strokes each year, and the FDA has significant concerns because of the seriousness of a stroke and the inability to predict who is at risk. If you or someone you love has suffered a heart attack or stroke and may have been taking a medication containing PPA, please contact our office immediately for a free consultation or fill out our convenient online contact form.
URGENT RECALL NOTICE: SULZER HIP REPLACEMENTS
According to Sulzer, an oily residue was left on the surface of the implanted shell due to a manufacturing mistake. This residue can cause inflammation and pain and can also prevent the patient’s bones from bonding usually with the implant, causing loosening of the shell. Some patients will require surgery to replace the defective implant with a new one. The number of patients who must have the replacement surgery is unknown, but the hip implant shell is implanted in approximately 17,500 patients annually. Sulzer estimates that most patients who implanted with the recalled hip replacements had surgeries in California, Texas, Florida, and Arizona.
Some of the symptoms caused by defective implants include:
Pain when rising
Pain when standing
Pain in the groin or inner thigh area
The inability to bear weight on your leg.

LEGAL MALPRACTICE
Legal or attorney malpractice can be described as a lawyer’s failure to render professional services with the skill, prudence, and diligence that an ordinary and reasonable lawyer would use under similar circumstances.
This does not mean that there has been malpractice every time there is a “bad” or “unfortunate” outcome in a case. It does not mean that he is liable for malpractice just because an attorney gave what turned out to be “bad” or “the wrong” advice. No professional is an insurer of a positive outcome for his client. What creates liability is the lawyer’s failure to act in the manner the ordinary or reasonable lawyer would handle that matter for his client.
Beyond establishing the lawyer’s negligence in rendering professional services, a plaintiff must also prove that the failure was the legal cause of some actual damage to the plaintiff. Injuries may not be based on sheer speculation or surmise, and the mere possibility or probability that damage will result from wrongful conduct does not render it actionable. It is not sufficient to allege that the underlying case should have settled for more or might have resulted in a higher verdict at trial. It is not sufficient to allege that “if” the plaintiff had been given the right advice, he might have spent less money in a transaction or received more.
For legal malpractice in litigation cases, the need to prove actual damages requires the plaintiff to prove what he would have recovered in the “underlying” action and that he was denied that recovery by the lawyer’s actions. The jury instruction read legal malpractice cases tells the jury that the law requires a plaintiff who establishes malpractice on the part of his or her attorney in prosecuting a lawsuit must also prove that careful management of it would have resulted in a favorable judgment and collection thereof. Because of this, the “new” attorney must litigate the “case within the case”: he must not only prove that the first attorney was negligent but also that there would have been a recovery in the lawsuit was hired to prosecute. If there was difficult or no liability in the underlying case, there is little chance of a recovery in a legal malpractice case. If the defendant had no insurance or assets from which a judgment could be satisfied, no actual damage could be recovered in the legal malpractice case.

RECREATIONAL VEHICLE LAWS
Our accident lawyers represent victims of Off-Road Vehicle (ORV) Accidents and All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) accidents. Many accident victims are children and teenagers, and their injuries are often severe and even catastrophic. Restrictions affect the operation of the ORVs by children under the age of 16. Specific obligations also fall upon the parents or legal guardians of ORV riders under 16 and the owners of ORVs.
A. No person under the age of 16 may operate any 3-wheeled ATV
B. No child age ten may operate any 4-wheeled ATV, EXCEPT on private land while performing farm-related work operations.
C. Children 10 and 11 years old may use 4-wheel ATVs only when ALL of the following conditions exist:
Must be on land owned by the child’s parent or guardian;
Must be under visual supervision (see definition) of an adult;
Must possess a valid ORV safety certificate.
Children 12-15 years old may operate 4-wheeled ATVs only when BOTH of the following conditions exist:

Must possess a valid ORV safety certificate.
No child under 12 may cross any street, highway, or county road while operating any ORV. Children at least 12 years old may cross streets and roads (only at right angles) Visual supervision is defined as having direct observation with the unaided eye and the ability to come to the immediate aid of another ORV operator. The parents and legal guardians of a child under 16 are legally responsible if they permit the child under their care to violate any of the above. The owner (or person in control) of an ORV is liable if a youngster operates his or her ORV. Victims of these accidents have legal rights and should contact an experienced accident and injury lawyer immediately after the accident.
