Labor & Employment Law

Since the dawn of the Industrial Age, citizens and legislators have been working tirelessly to create better working conditions for both business owners and their employees. This hard work is crafted into what is generally known as Employment Law. While many people are familiar with employee rights, Employment Law applies to both sides of the equation—protecting employee rights as well as supporting business owners to ensure their business is in a good position.

Personal Injury

In a Personal Injury case, damages in the form of money are awarded to the person who has been injured (the plaintiff). And, the person who is found to be legally responsible for the injury pays this money (the defendant). The damages are awarded to the plaintiff in order to compensate for what has been lost. This can include recovering the cost of medical bills, loss of property at fair market value, and even lost wages.

Nursing Home Negligence

When our loved ones require specialized care or care that is beyond our abilities to provide, we entrust them to those we believe can take better care of them. We trust nursing homes to provide our loved ones with the care and support that we are not able to give. We expect them to meet a high standard of care. It can therefore be devastating to discover that our loved ones are suffering at the very hands of those that we entrusted them to.

Medical Malpractice

A medical malpractice attorney will help you file a claim for financial compensation and hold those responsible for your injuries and losses accountable for their actions.

Product Liability

Johnson & Johnson, the household brand synonymous with “baby powder,” is in hot water for failing to warn consumers about cancer risks associated with using their talc-based products. As of 2020, more than 17,000 consumers have filed lawsuits against Johnson & Johnson (J&J) claiming the company’s talc-based baby powder caused ovarian cancer and mesothelioma.

Dangerous Drugs Lawsuits

In recent years we’ve seen plenty of class action lawsuits against drug manufacturers for failing to disclose dangerous and fatal side effects. It’s unthinkable that popular heartburn medications like Zantac and ranitidine cause cancer, but the evidence stacked against these drugs is overwhelming. Zantac and Ranitidine have been recalled by the FDA due to its propensity as a human carcinogen and likelihood to cause cancer.

Defective Medical Products

Some hernia mesh manufacturers are accused of knowing the problem these devices can cause but failed to warn the patients and medical providers. There have been claims that the IVC filter devices are defective, with some breaking apart or moving within the body. Hip implant lawsuits are a class action lawsuit filed by patients who have had their hip implants removed. The lawsuits allege that the implants were not properly installed and they have caused pain, extreme discomfort and worse! Essure is a birth control product initially manufactured by the Conceptus Incorporation until it became a Bayer subsidiary in 2013. This was around the same time the Bayer lawsuits emerged with many women claiming to have suffered serious health complications after using the birth control device.

PFAS Lawsuits

They are just about everywhere. Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have found widespread use in various industries due to their unique characteristics. However, of late, these chemicals are garnering attention for their potential health impacts. PFAS are a group of man-made chemicals. They were first introduced in the 1950s and have since found applications in a wide range of industries. This is due to their unique characteristics. These chemicals are resistant to heat, oil, stains, water and grease. They are able to withstand extremes in temperature.

DUI – Driving Under the Influence

Driving Under the Influence (DUI) or impaired driving are serious crimes and you need a legal team that understands all facets of the legal system to ensure you are fairly treated. An in-depth knowledge of all the various field sobriety tests and how these results are obtained is critical to how your case may proceed.

Insurance Disputes

Insurance is a word we’re more than familiar with by now. With the new government mandate for everyone in the US to carry health insurance, the term seems to roll off our lips effortlessly almost on a daily basis. But insurance extends beyond healthcare, and branches into every aspect of our lives. Although we know the general benefits of having Insurance, issues can arise often and complicate the claim process.

Your Questions About The Law

The short answer is yes, you should care because it’s going to affect the statute of limitations on your claim. It’s important to define what a political subdivision is that way, you know where your claim lies.

A subdivision is city, county, villages, schools, certain administrative agencies. All those are treated under the act differently. Now, if you do sustain an injury or an accident with one of those individuals that I’ve named, then you have one year from the date of your injury to file a written notice, written claim to that subdivision. If you don’t, then your claim is forever barred. Read More

That depends on you, specifically in regards to the length of time it takes for your injuries to improve, how long it takes to get to a point where we can reasonably determine what your future looks like, what additional medical care you require, the cost of such medical care and what permanent restrictions or impairments you have. Read More

The answer to that is almost universally no. The reason for that is the insurance companies like to get in early and offer you a lowball offer in the hopes that they can get you to sign a release of liability waiver. Once that happens, you’re out of luck.

The reason that they send these lowball offers is because you haven’t had a chance yet to properly evaluate your claim. You might still be treating, you might need future medical. There’s also the possibility that you’ve been permanently damaged and you need a doctor to assess that. Read More

Maximum medical improvement or MMI is the point in your injury where you’re about as good as you’re going to get which means you’re not likely to get much better and you’re not likely to get much worse.

It doesn’t mean that you’re all the way better and so for that reason, maximum medical improvement is the point at which your permanent disability benefits are determined. Read More

In order to answer that question, we have to know the specific facts of your case. A lot of factors go into the value of a workers’ compensation case.

First of all, money benefits that are paid to you are based on your wages before the accident. That amount is used then to determine both your temporary disability benefits and your permanent disability benefits. Read More

Yes, it can. In order to modify a child custody order, you have to show what’s called a material change in circumstances.

Now, simply stated what that means is something has to happen. An unanticipated change that if the judge or the parties knew about it when they made the original order, they would have decided differently. Read More

Well, it depends on two things.

First of all, who are you suing and second of all, what are you suing them for? If it’s just general negligence and you’re suing a private person or corporation, it’s four years from the date of accrual of the claim or the date of the accident. Read More
