Laws Change - Stay Informed
This blog is in part a way to respond to the stories of incredible lawsuits and huge jury verdicts as they appear on the nation’s media waves. It will also provide information for you, the consumer - the average citizen who may suffer some harm because of the bad acts of another, and who would like to know if there is any recourse. And occasionally it will be a call to action, to protect your rights from the overreaching control of billion dollar businesses over our federal and state legislatures. But we are not a set-mouth, clenched-fist type of group - we welcome a good story, or even a good joke - and we’ll share it with our readers. This blog will be fed by several attorneys - we each have extensive litigation and trial experience, almost exclusively in the area of personal injury law. And we care about the people we help and the rights which they exercise when seeking justice. Each person we help has a unique story, some of which we will share with you. Skeptical? - Let Us KnowFor those of you skeptical of the value of the plaintiffs’ personal injury lawyer viewpoint - give us a couple of weeks worth of reading, then let us know what you think. Of note:For those of you who are fans of the Stella Awards- take a brief moment to glance at the advertisements throughout the website...yep, paid advertisements by personal injury lawyers. Seems the Stella folks are happy to bully and bad-mouth personal injury plaintiffs, but don’t mind sharing in the profits from the work. But, hey, they are “completely independent.” Too Odd Not To Be True:Mr. Vasquez, a farm worker and father of three minor children, was shopping at a Super Dollar Store when a cashier gave him incorrect change. When he pointed out the mistake, a store security guard forced him outside where the guard struggled with Vasquez, then shot and killed him. The representative for Mr. Vasquez’s children, Gibraltar Bank, sued the store and the strip mall where the store was located, claiming both were negligent for allowing arming a convicted felon to act as a security guard. The parties settled before trial for defendants’ policy limits, $2 million. Gibralter Bank v. Super Dollar Store, Fla., Miami-Dade County Cir. Ct., No. 04-20677 CA 32, Apr. 15, 2005.
