Grilling May Be Dangerous to Your Health

ozcomert — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 14:26:23 -0500

Talk about dangerous products, a gas grill of all things, one of the staples of an American summer backyard dinner.

While they might look fairly harmless, all hunched over on the back
porch waiting for the steak or corn on the cob, if the gas flame and
tank are not handled properly, these gas grills are an accident looking
for a place to happen.

Dangerous Products – Drugs

ozcomert — Tue, 12 May 2009 14:32:13 -0500

There's a good chance we will see more Plavix lawsuits, as further
information about the deadly side effects of this drug continue to
surface. Research shows Plavix may cause death or serious injury due to
stomach bleeding (often ulcers).

Oddly enough, Plavix, considered to be the second best-selling drug
in the world, was supposed to be a terrific alternative for aspirin to
prevent heart attacks and strokes. This "super aspirin" does the exact
opposite, and more than doubles the risks for bleeding ulcers, heart
attacks and strokes.

The last thing one would think of causing serious personal injuries
is a laptop computer. Nonetheless, a defective product is a defective
product, no matter what it happens to be.

Every year thousands of Americans buy products that cause them
personal injuries. Every year there are also thousands of product
recalls for a variety of glitches ranging from annoying to capable of
causing severe harm or death.

The Blame Game

ozcomert — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 13:40:35 -0500

Proving who is at fault in a premises liability case is sometimes quite difficult.

At the very heart of the matter of premises liability law is the
question "Who is to blame?" This isn't the easiest thing to figure out,
and that is why many premises liability lawyers will comment that each
and every case is unique and has very little in common with any other
case of the same nature. The circumstances of the case are what tend to
make each one different.

Malpractice means so many different things to different people, that
the term when used in a legal setting really needs to be expanded upon
for the sake of clarity.

Med Mal May Be Tricky

ozcomert — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 12:53:50 -0600

Medical malpractice is most often considered to be a lawsuit filed
against a doctor for some form of negligence that caused a patient
harm. In reality, there are numerous kinds of malpractice lawsuits.

These days when people read about medical malpractice in the media,
they assume that the story will be about a doctor doing something
negligently that severely injured or caused the death of someone. Not
many people realize that malpractice law includes not only medical
malpractice, but legal, dental, accounting, real estate and other types
of malpractice.
