The Three Types of Product Liability Lawsuits

3:26 pm | Bradley Hofland | Be the first to comment

There isn’t one business that exists today that does not have
product liability insurance. Better to be safe than sorry if your
product turns out to have problems and injures someone.

Generally speaking there are three types of product liability
lawsuits that get filed in courtrooms. Those are information defects,
design defects and manufacturing defects. Any one of these by
themselves or in combination with another defect may form the basis of
a product liability lawsuit.

Manufacturing defects are those that happen when a product,
initially thought (and intended) to be safe, but something happened to
it during the manufacturing process and it ended up being flawed and
causing injuries to people who bought the product, e.g. one of the
sprockets for a new mountain bike is missing.
Design defects are a bit different in origin. This happens when a
product is made the right way by the company, but it turns out it is
unsafe. It may not be a case of the manufacturer realizing the goods
are dangerous because of the way they were designed. Nonetheless, there
would be liability on the part of the manufacturer and designer, e.g. a
stuffed bear with buttons for eyes that are not secured properly to the
toy and can be swallowed by young children.

An information defect refers to a situation where a product is
unavoidably hazardous in some form or other, but there is nothing to
indicate this on or in the product’s package, e.g. a caulking compound
for the bathtub that should not be used in enclosed spaces because it
causes severe respiratory problems.
Each product liability case is unique and thus treated on a case by
case basis. While a great many consumers would just pitch the defective
product out in the garbage, there are more informed customers that are
beginning to realize that they have rights when it comes to being
harmed by a product they bought in good faith.

Keep in mind that every business that handles, supplies, refurbishes
or resells a product must have some kind of liability insurance. It
doesn’t matter if you sell on eBay or happen to be one of the most
well-known retailing names in the US. The facts are that every business
runs the risk of being sued if a product they handle ends up injuring
or killing an innocent customer. If you don’t believe that, just
remember the famous case of the hot coffee that gave a McDonald’s
customer third degree burns when it was spilled on her thighs. She won
her product liability lawsuit.

Watch What the Package Label Says

3:24 pm | Bradley Hofland | Be the first to comment

Those labels on the outside of various products are there for a
reason; to warn people about a danger and to keep them safe. Failure to
heed the warning may be dangerous.

It’s pretty much a given than when we go to the store to buy
something that we assume it will be safe and won’t harm us. More often
than not, this is a reasonable assumption. However, have you noticed
the warning labels on the packages? They could say things such as,
“Don’t drive while taking this medication,” or “Small parts could cause
choking,” or much to your amusement they may even say in the case of a
hair dryer, “Don’t use while you are asleep.”

Although some of the warnings you happen to read on labels may seem
ridiculous, they are there because something like that has already
happened to someone. This is how warnings on products come into being
in the first place; someone complained that the manufacturer should
tell people about the product’s hazards.
Generally speaking, there are laws in place to protect consumers in the
event of an injury sustained by a product malfunctioning or to a
manufacturing defect that caused harm or death. If you have had a less
than pleasant experience with a product and were harmed, you should
speak to a products liability attorney to get some answers. If the
package didn’t provide an adequate warning about what happened to you,
then you may have a viable legal case. Only your attorney will be able
to assess this for you.

Speaking of liability, another huge area of the law that centers on
the determination of a person’s liability is premises liability.
Premises liability is a legal responsibility that all
landowners/occupiers have to make sure their premises are safe when
others come to visit. So, if you happen to own a store and don’t tell
customers the floor is wet from mopping and they slip and fall, your
premises liability insurance covers their injuries.
Slip, trip and falls are fairly common liability claims and many
lawyers handle these cases in addition to product liability issues, as
the issues involved in both kinds of cases are similar – the question
of liability. In the instance of product liability the supplier,
manufacturer and even the designer may be held liable for injuries
caused by a defective product sold on the market. The interesting thing
about product liability law is that you’d be astounded to find out
about the long list of product failures that you can actually file a
lawsuit over; for instance, lighters that explode, faulty ladders that
collapse, patio furniture that breaks, baby car seats crumple on
impact, and roofs on cars cave in rather than protect.

Nevada Med Mal Suit Within One Year

3:20 pm | Bradley Hofland | Be the first to comment

If you’ve been a victim of medical malpractice (med mal) and live in Nevada, you only have one year to file a lawsuit.

At one time the statute of limitation in Nevada for medical
malpractice suits was two years. That isn’t the case today, and if you
don’t file within the year, your right to file a case expires. The
change from two years to one year took place in 2004. So what happens
now is that the statute runs from the time the med mal is “discovered
or should have been discovered.” If you have any questions about this,
contact a qualified Las Vegas personal injury lawyer.

Having said that, there is an outer limit to the new Nevada law
which mandates that any medical malpractice lawsuit must be filed
within three years from the date it happened without regard to when it
was discovered. Somewhat confusing to say the least, so you should
consult with a skilled Las Vegas personal injury lawyer to find out the precise limitations that apply to your potential case.

It should be noted that for a casualty of med mal to figure out they
have been a victim of a healthcare professional’s negligence and then
immediately consult with a lawyer to file a lawsuit within a year is a
bit of a stretch. The logistics of putting together this kind of a case
are staggering and include, among other things, the necessity of
finding an “expert” witness in the same field as the physician who
committed malpractice. This doesn’t happen overnight as any Las Vegas personal injury lawyer will tell you.

The said expert must also provide a written affidavit for the
complaint stating their opinion that malpractice did happen. This isn’t
just something dashed off on a moment’s notice and involves an
exhaustive search of patient medical records. Most of these records are
not that easy to come by as they usually have to be rounded up from
multiple medical care providers. The services of a medical “expert”
don’t come cheaply either. All this takes time and with the changes in
the statute of limitations, time is even more of the essence to build a
solid medical malpractice lawsuit.

Thankfully more and more medical expert witnesses are starting to
come forward and discuss medical malpractice. At one time it was hidden
behind a wall of silence where doctors did not talk about their own.
Attitudes have changed and many physicians are now of the opinion that
the medical community needs to be self policed and cleaned up.

Doctors who have no business practicing medicine are being weeded
out in order to protect the injured and avoid future victims. If you
have been the victim of medical malpractice, immediately consult a Las
Vegas personal injury lawyer to discuss your potential case. Do not
delay, as time is very critical in cases like this.

Nevada Asset Protection Trusts

3:17 pm | Bradley Hofland | Be the first to comment

Do revocable living trusts provide asset protection? In two words: “Not usually.”

There are a great number of people who seem to think that revocable
living trusts provide them some sort of asset protection. This couldn’t
be further from the truth. What is the reason for that state of
affairs? The main reason a revocable living trust doesn’t provide asset
protection is because it is a self-settled trust, meaning you still
control the assets in the trust. If you still have the control over any
assets in the trust and have creditors, they may make claims against
the trust while you are alive or after you have died.

Having said that, there are some exceptions where this type of a
living trust may provide asset protection. That would only be
applicable to trusts formed under the Domestic Asset Protection Trust
which is enacted in three states, Nevada being one of them. In Nevada
they are referred to as Nevada Trusts or self-settled spendthrift
trusts. Basically what the Nevada Trust does is allows you to form a
trust for your own benefit and then protect it from creditors.

Now this sounds good on the surface, but you need to look a little
deeper and consult with an expert attorney about these Nevada Trusts.
One thing you should be aware of if you live in Nevada and choose to
set up such a trust is that these laws are very new and haven’t been
tested. This means that ultimately they have the potential to be very
risky. It’s a given that there would be many questions if a Trust
trustee is sued in another state about a creditor’s ability to attach
assets in Nevada Trusts. If this does happen, the law may be
overturned. This is one of the main reasons you would want to talk this
over with a highly qualified Las Vegas attorney.

Just to clear up some possible confusion over how a Nevada trustee
could be sued in another state; this may happen if they live outside of
Nevada. That would mean they may be sued in whatever state they are in.
It may also be the case that assets are in another state, meaning a
lawsuit could take place in that state. If a suit was filed in another
state, the courts would be hard pressed to apply the Trust laws of the
state in which it was created. For example, if the trust was formed in
Nevada but the assets are in Florida and a suit is filed there, Florida
law may apply and the assets won’t be protected.

This situation has the potential to get even more complicated if a
lawsuit is in Federal court and the creditor is in a different state.
And, there’s more, the Asset Protection Trust is specifically designed
to delay creditors. This brings amendments to the Bankruptcy Code into
the picture which invalidates self-settled trusts created within ten
years of filing for bankruptcy.

There are a variety of permutations and combinations for the
creation of trusts that do work, but you really need to speak to an
attorney to know which ones would work in your case. You may need an
irrevocable living trust, an offshore trust, or put your assets into a
corporation. The only way to know what option to choose is to discuss
this with a lawyer who understands what would work best in your
circumstances.

Maintenance and Child Support Modifications Increasing

1:56 pm | Bradley Hofland | Be the first to comment

It's not too surprising to find out that with the economy the way it
is these days, there has been a sharp increase in requests for changes
to support and alimony agreements.

The recession has hit Americans right where they live, and times are
incredibly tough for many struggling to keep food on the table. Throw a
divorce and maintenance and child support into this mix, and you have a
recipe for disaster. Divorced spouses who have lost their jobs, or even
taken a cut in pay to keep a job, are wondering how on earth they are
going to keep up their maintenance/child support payments.

The one way to accomplish this is to request the courts make
modifications in previous child support/maintenance agreements.
Evidently, according to a fairly recent survey conducted by the
American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, roughly 39 percent of
America's top ranked divorce attorneys are reporting a significant hike
in the number of modifications being made to child support payments. On
the other hand, close to 42 percent across America and in Las Vegas
family law offices have seen an increase in changes made to alimony
payments.

Times are tough all around and the signs of the times are often seen
in Las Vegas family law offices as they assist clients in dealing with
the fall out of a change in financial circumstances. In most instances,
that directly affects their client's ability to fulfill their
contractual obligations as first negotiated. There certainly aren't
many other alternatives for a person paying child support/alimony to
adjust their payments if they've lost their job or become too ill to
work.

Keep in mind how the child support was figured out in the first
place – usually by the courts after they look at several factors on
both sides of the fence. Those factors included what each parent made
yearly and could encompass things like social security, pensions,
benefits, workers' compensation, lottery winnings, tips, investment
income and UI.

Digging a little deeper, the court would also ascertain if there was
child support being paid or received to maintain children from another
relationship, what was being paid out in terms of extra education
expenses and childcare expenditures. Health insurance costs are
factored in as well. Generally speaking, this is the process to figure
out child support and your Las Vegas family law office will help you in
calculating these expenses.

In order to get any changes made to the child support payments, you
have to go back to court and specifically ask for a modification. The
way that works is if both parents agree, (if they don't – ask your Las
Vegas family law office lawyer what to do next) they hand in something
called a "stipulation" to the court.

The court's role is to approve the stipulation and issue an order
modifying the original child support order. Be aware that the "only"
modification that will be enforced is the modification the court
issues. Nevada will not enforce child support payment agreements
cobbled together by the parents. By the way, it is also possible to get
a temporary modification for a minor change in circumstances. Speak to
your Las Vegas family law office lawyer and find out how this process
works.

Out Like a Light

1:52 pm | Bradley Hofland | Be the first to comment

Going into the hospital for surgery, while common, may be fraught
with the potential for anesthesia malpractice, a matter that needs to
be discussed with a skilled Las Vegas personal injury lawyer.

Not many people have heard of the term anesthesia malpractice and it
doesn't just happen in the operating room, as many would guess. It may
happen during pre-operative prepping, post-op recovery, or even in any
location where anesthesia is given, such as a medical facility or
physician's office. Las Vegas personal injury lawyers are well aware of
cases such as this.

The assumption that lies at the basis of any medical malpractice
lawsuit is that doctors or medical professionals owe us a primary duty
of care to exercise their skill and training with due diligence to the
patients. Although medical practitioners are human and do make
mistakes, their standard of care is higher because of their training
and the enormous amount of trust others place in their hands. Not
exercising the proper care may result in severe injuries or death.

The scope of anesthesia mistakes ranges from possible incidents
during childbirth and may also encompass dental procedures. The
difficult thing in this particular field of medicine is that errors are
not just limited to anesthesiologists. To administer anesthesia all one
requires is specialized training and certification.

This explains why you'll find other people, (besides doctors) giving
anesthesia in places like a dental office, an office that specializes
in cosmetic surgery and other outpatient procedures; e.g. colonoscopy.
This isn’t to say that ordinary people on the street are able to get
special certification in administering anesthesia, as it's only medical
professionals that get this training, and that includes dentists,
surgeons and nurses, etc. While incidents like this are not highly
common, many Las Vegas personal injury lawyers have handled some cases
during the course of their practices.

Injuries that result from a brush with the wrong dose or method of
administering anesthesia usually manifest themselves in the form of an
overdose and/or the failure of the person giving it to properly prepare
the patient, take extra precautions or monitor the patient.

There is one other area where sometimes things go awry, and that is
when the anesthesia staff don't properly inform the patient of what
they may expect. Informed consent issues are another area of duty of
care by medical professionals that needs to be followed to avoid
disastrous consequences. If you have any questions about an incident
that you may have endured involving anesthesia, discuss your concerns
with an experienced Las Vegas personal injury lawyer.

Be aware that liability may not just be outside the hospital or
other office settings and may involve the actual equipment used. All
the apparatus used when administering anesthesia needs to maintained
consistently and diligently, and if anything is not done properly,
liability may fall on the manufacturer or the individuals who maintain
the machine(s).

If you feel you have been the victim of anesthesia malpractice, contact a highly skilled Las Vegas personal injury lawyer to help you build your case for just compensation.

Adoption to Kin

3:32 pm | Bradley Hofland | Be the first to comment

Not a lot of people are aware of the fact that there is something called kinship adoption or relative adoption.

There are actually several forms of adoption available for those who
wish to go this route to have a child. Adoption is much the same
process as deciding to have a child. You need to weigh out the pros and
cons and consider what your motives are for having a child or for
choosing adoption.

One method of adoption is known as domestic private. The others
available to choose from are inter-country adoption, kinship/relative
adoption and domestic adoption from state foster care. The route you
choose will largely pertain to what you think is right for your
particular family situation.

A domestic adoption usually proceeds through a licensed adoption
agency, an attorney, adoption facilitators, doctors or other various
avenues. In this instance, you are able to adopt directly from a
family. Usually what takes place is that the family of the child
typically chooses the family that will later adopt that child. In many
instances as well, both the families will make decisions about how much
contact the child will have with both sets of parents.

Inter-country adoption usually refers to adoption of children who
are residents and citizens of one country, but the parents are citizens
of another country. Typically in these instances, both governments of
each country are also involved in this process. Check the State
Department website to find out if the country you want to adopt from is
allowing inter-country adoptions to the US.

Kinship or relative adoption means a family is adopting a child
through close family ties, for instance the child of a sister, or
through a relationship the family has with the child's family. A good
example of this would be adoption by stepmothers and fathers,
grandparents or even friends. You definitely need the assistance of a
skilled family law attorney for any of these adoptions, as these
matters tend to be rather complex.

Domestic adoptions from a state foster care situation means that you
would be adopting a child or children out of temporary foster care or a
welfare situation. Children in circumstances like this require a great
deal of time and commitment, as they have not experienced that in their
lives prior to adoption to a safe home.

If you're considering adoption, get in touch with an extremely
knowledgeable family law attorney to assist you in getting through all
the legal hoops.

Just Call Me Daddy

3:32 pm | Bradley Hofland | Be the first to comment

Most people figure a paternity test is when a man wants to know if a
child is really his. While that is one reason, there are often legal
reasons for this test being done as well.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that a paternity
test is to determine who the father of a child is. Tests really aren't
needed for the woman, unless she got pregnant thanks to an egg
donation, because she is obviously the mother. This is why the male's
DNA is tested and not the female’s.

The simplest test to determine paternity happens to be the DNA test,
because when a new embryo is created, it pulls DNA coding from both mom
and dad to start a new life. The roadmap of the child’s DNA can only
lead to one father and mother. DNA tests are startlingly accurate, up
to 99.9%. The only exception to this rule is the remote possibility
that one of a set of twin brothers could be the father. Still, in this
situation, a combination of tests would be able to reveal the true
father with a great degree of accuracy.

A practical question in some instances is whether or not a paternity
test is "legally" necessary. While a father has a right to know if a
child is actually his, the real question becomes whether or not it is
beneficial for the child to know this piece of information.

How will it affect the child if it is determined that the father who
has raised him is not his actual, biological father? The bonds that
have been established between the father and child often make such a
determination psychologically harmful.

Instances where a paternity determination is legally necessary are
those instances where there are disputes as to custody, visitation, and
child support. These issues most often arise in cases where the couples
have not married, but ironically can arise in a divorce case.

We have seen quite a few cases where fathers who want to establish
parental rights are in direct conflict with a person who may have
raised the child as his own. In situations like this, there is often an
ugly legal battle over parental rights and how granting them may affect
the welfare of the child at the center of the battle.

There's a great debate over this issue, with two schools of thought.
The first one says that since the father created the child, he should
have the right to be a dad to his offspring. The second school of
thought supposes that a child should not be forced into having to
choose between a man he has considered to be his "dad" and who has been
present in the child’s home environment, or his biological dad. There
is no perfect resolution, and each case should be dealt with on its
particular set of facts and circumstances. This is one area of the law
where there are very few, if any, perfect solutions.

Having a paternity test is sometimes akin to opening a can of worms,
and the legal ramifications need to be carefully considered before
proceeding. When in doubt about the wisdom of learning whether you are
a child’s father, especially if the child already has a "dad," consult
with a skilled family law attorney who will be able to advise you of
your rights.

Hazardous Slip and Falls

11:21 am | Bradley Hofland | Be the first to comment

At some point in time you may find yourself in the sticky situation
where you slip, trip and fall on someone's property, and in the
process, injure yourself. This may have happened due to hazardous
conditions on the property.

If you think you tripped and fell on someone's property because of
dangerous conditions, then it's time to talk to an attorney who has
experience in this area of the law. Accidents like this are wont to
happen just about anywhere and only a good attorney will be able to
advise you whether or not you happen to have a decent case, or - in the
spirit of a good legal joke – have a leg to stand on.

If you're talking about dangerous conditions where you were walking,
in most instances you are referring to a failure on the part of the
person who owns the land in question (or the proprietor) to offer safe
passage on their property. For instance, the site of the accident
clearly shows poor maintenance and/or neglect such as broken stair
railings, cracked floors, poor lighting, etc. To put this another way,
the condition of area where you had your accident was shoddy, and
management didn't immediately fix things, thereby creating an accident
looking for a place to happen.

In circumstances such as this the landowner or proprietor may be
held accountable for any injuries if it is proven in a court of law
that the cause of the accident was negligence. And negligence is what?
Negligence is proven when a plaintiff demonstrates that a defendant
failed to abide by certain safety rules and that this caused the
plaintiff's injury. Now this might sound fairly simple on the surface,
but it rarely is, as the defendant has the right to say whether or not
the plaintiff is a trespasser, a licensee or an invitee.

Why would it make a difference what the plaintiff was doing on the
property? It makes a difference because it outlines the extent of the
defendant's liability. So, an invitee is there because they were asked
to be there and the landowner knew the person was coming. By the same
token if a person is invited, that means the property must be safe from
all hazards. Invitees might be diners in a restaurant or supermarket
customers.

A licensee is a person who is on the landowner's property for his or
her own reasons/purposes, but with the permission of the owner. The
only duty due here is that the landowner must warn the licensee about
any known hazards that someone there for the first time would not know.
The owner isn't required to fix anything, just warn about the hazards,
if there are any.

Logically then a trespasser is there without permission and is not
welcome on the property. In this instance the owner isn't responsible
for any accidents, as the owner would not be aware a trespasser was on
his or her property.

If you've been involved in a slip or trip and fall case, contact a lawyer to find out your eligibility to file a claim.

Endangering Patients Lives

11:20 am | Bradley Hofland | Be the first to comment

Medical malpractice is usually the end result of medical
professionals not following a standard set of operating procedures
while working. These kinds of mistakes may cause severe consequences or
even death.
If you have been treated by a doctor, surgeon or other medical
professional and have come away from the experience with injuries, or
you are worse than before you went for treatment or surgery, then you
may have been a victim of medical malpractice and have a valid injury
claim. These are things that need to be discussed with a med mal lawyer
with extensive experience and knowledge.
These types of cases are not easy to litigate, as they are not always
that easy to prove. There are always expert medical witnesses for each
side that insist their interpretation of the facts is the right
version. There are hundreds of hours of testimony, scads of medical
records, test results, x-rays, cat scans, and you name it. Med mal
litigation is a bit like a kitchen sink defense in that in order to
mount a good case, all the details have to be thoroughly covered to do
the client justice.

Med mal cases are not about simply asking the medical institution or
the physician to fork over the cash to pay for negligence and injuries.
It involves far more than that and will definitely include insurance
companies bound and determined to state their client was merely doing
what they were supposed to do, according to accepted medical practice.
This of course may turn into a three-ring circus in the process, as
gross negligence cases usually wind up being settled to avoid the bad
publicity that would accompany them.

While you may think you have a good case, and even be aware of what
may be required to launch a personal injury med mal case, you will need
a good med mal attorney to deal with the infighting between the
insurance companies, sort out what damages you may be able to collect
and make heads or tails of all the confusing paperwork that tends to go
with cases of this nature.
