Have you suffered an on-the-job work
injury? Unfortunately, many employers
fail to provide a safe work environment, safe
equipment, or proper training. Injuries at work
such as industrial accidents or a construction
injury are increasingly common and many of them
are preventable. Other injuries would be head
injury, brain injury, neck injury, burn injury,
lung injury, chemical exposure, or even a refinery
accident. More
People working on navigable rivers, lakes
and the high seas have a different group of
rights than those who work on land. If injury
or death occurs as a result of an employer's
negligence offshore or on a navigable vessel,
a claim against either the employer under the
Federal Jones Act or against another party causing
the injury under General Maritime Law
may be an effective course of action. More
Medical negligence can involve
any treatment, lack of treatment, or other departure
from the accepted standards of medical care
or health care or safety on the part of a health
care provider that results in patient harm.
This may include misdiagnosis, improper/substandard
treatment, failure to treat, delay to treatment,
lacking follow-up and prescription errors. More
As the "baby boomer" generation
reaches retirement age and advanced health care
allows more Americans to live longer, the difficult
questions of who will care for the elderly linger.
The realities of life often prevent adult children
from being able to care for their aging parents
at home. As a result, many elderly Americans
who cannot care for themselves rely upon nursing
homes and other long-term care facilities to
provide living and health care. When such abuse
occurs, you need to contact a nursing
home abuse lawyer or a nursing
home negligence lawyer. Scott Callahan
is here to assist you. More

Many people are injured each year due to drugs
that have harmful side effects. Often times,
these injuries are fatal. If a drug’s
side effects prove to be too dangerous, with
the risks outweighing the benefits, the FDA
will issue a drug recall. When a person is injured
by a defective drug, the drug manufacturer /
pharmaceutical company, doctor, and pharmacist
can be held liable. More
