When accidents happen as a result of someone’s negligent behavior, legal assistance may be required to obtain proper and adequate redress. While there are thousands of personal injury attorneys in South Florida, not all of them have the adequate staff and long-term experience to deal with personal injury issues, so it is extremely important to choose the right firm to successfully handle your case. The average personal injury case can cost thousands of dollars in research and litigation, and smaller legal firms may not have the resources necessary to successfully deal with such expenses. Choosing a lawyer with limited resources may result in settling your case too early and not getting the fair compensation you deserve. Larger legal firms can bring more resources to bear regarding experienced personnel and support staff, and this increases the likelihood of a successful verdict in your favor. The most respected personal injury attorneys and firms offer both free consultation services and a contingency arrangement – simply stated, if your chosen attorneys don’t win the case or successfully force a settlement, they don’t get paid. The experienced and dedicated Accident…Read More

The term ‘Off-label’ refers to the use of drugs to treat diseases or medical conditions for which they are unintended. While off-label use may seem appealing for ailments with no known solution, it can potentially harm these users. According the FDA, drugs only receive approval after extensive scientific research. Before approval, a company must submit clinical information to the FDA for review. When the FDA approves a drug, it conducts a careful evaluation of the benefits and risks and uses strong scientific data to support the decision. The drug must prove its benefits outweigh potential risks before being deemed “safe.” The FDA also approves the label, which provides key information about what the drug treats, how to use it, information about risks and more. Off-label use may occur for various reasons. For instance, a medical professional may believe a drug can treat a certain disease or medical condition that currently does not have an approved treatment. Off-label use may also occur if a patient tried the approved treatments for their disease or medical condition but did not see any benefits or results. The FDA relies…Read More
Pharmaceutical giant Johnson & Johnson is the subject of two class-action lawsuits filed in 2014, claiming the company is responsible for giving women ovarian cancer through the use of its talcum powder products, Johnson’s Baby Powder and Shower to Shower. The suits came one year after South Dakota resident Deane Berg, diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2006, won her legal claim that the company was negligent in not warning users of the greater risk of developing that type of cancer. Earlier this year, a St. Louis jury awarded a $72 million verdict to the family of Jackie Fox, who passed away at the age of 62 after decades of using the products for daily genital dusting. In addition to those verdicts and more than 1,000 legal claims against the company, over 20 studies (some dating as far back as 1971) have also shown potential links between the ingredients used in both of Johnson & Johnson’s powder products and ovarian cancer. Yet, the company adamantly – and dangerously – continues to deny any link between the products in question and ovarian cancer, and has refused to…Read More
If you have suffered the loss of a family member, the word “probate” is probably among the myriad details that you are facing at this difficult time in your life. Simply stated, probate is the legal process ensuring the proper compilation of the decedent’s assets, notification of creditors, payment of liabilities, and distribution of the remaining assets to rightful heirs. While certain items, such as jointly held property and non-taxable gifts made not exceeding $11,000 during the deceased’s lifetime, are not subject to probate, probate largely applies in most cases. While many think that a decedent’s estate can only go through probate if there is no will in place, the estate may go through the process whether or not a will exists – if the estate is large enough and a valid plan is not in place for avoiding probate. The probate process typically encompasses numerous steps and can range from the simplest matters to protracted court battles involving significant amounts of time – from 6 to 18 months – and considerable money, but not all probate proceedings are alike. Florida probate law recognizes several…Read More
