Five Reasons Your Cell Phone is Important After an Accident

In the old days, it was always important to keep a camera, note pad and pen in your glove box so you could take notes and document the scene in the event you were in an accident. But now, with available technology, your cell phone has replaced these. It is important when you have been involved in an auto accident for several reasons. Basically, it’s a one-stop device for all you need to do immediately following a crash. Whether it’s a fender-bender or more serious accident, your smartphone is a smart way to capture the moments, images, and more. Of course, it’s a good idea to [...]

I Lost Consciousness Following an Accident – Should I Be Concerned?

When a professional fighter scores a knock out, it means that his opponent was struck so hard in the head, one or more times, that he lost consciousness. The truth is, he has received a traumatic brain injury (TBI) in the form of a concussion. Once he regains consciousness and the fight has ended, the losing fighter is not allowed to just call it a bad night and go home to care for his wounds. He is required to see a neurologist and is not allowed to return the ring for a period of at least 30 days after receiving medical clearance. This is to be [...]

How Essure Birth Control Injured Thousands of Women

The Essure System was first submitted to the FDA in April of 2002 as a form of permanent birth control by Conceptus, which was subsequently bought by Bayer. The FDA gave the system approval in November of that same year. The Essure system consists of nickel-titanium and stainless steel coils, which are wrapped in polyethylene terephthalate and inserted into the fallopian tubes. The devices cause irritation to the area, developing fibrous scar tissue which creates a blockage, preventing the descent of eggs. The FDA imposed several requirements on the maker, including an adequate, physician training program and a warning label concerning information about failure and success [...]

Distracted Driving Accidents on Rise Due to Pokémon Go Players

Back in July of this year, a police body cam video went viral, showing three Baltimore MD police officers standing and having a conversation when an SUV suddenly slams into their parked patrol car. Moments later, the driver emerges from the SUV, which came to a halt hundreds of feet down the street, with phone in hand saying “That’s what I get for playing this dumb game.” It was not the game that was dumb. Fortunately, no one was injured. Many people thought this video was funny, leading to it going viral. However, there is nothing funny about distracted driving. In fact, of the 421,000 people [...]

Jury Awards $70 Million in Johnson & Johnson Talc Cancer Lawsuit

After a trial that began on Sept. 26 and ended on Oct. 27, a jury in St. Louis ordered Johnson & Johnson to pay $70 million to a California woman, who claims that the company’s talc based products, which she used for feminine hygiene, caused her to develop ovarian cancer. The verdict was the third large award in a row that Johnson & Johnson was ordered to pay this year.

In February, the family of [...]

Auto Accidents and Concussions

Auto accidents and concussions go hand-in-hand. Sadly, too many car accident victims experience mild to severe concussions and might not know about the condition for a day or more thereafter. This is because of a common misconception that those who experience a concussion will always lose consciousness. But you don’t have to be knocked-out cold to suffer a concussion. You might not even experience a lapse in memory, but are unable to recall what happened right before the accident. What’s more, people who suffer a concussion might not have outward, visible head injuries, like cuts and bruises. Auto Accidents and Concussions What’s most important to understand [...]
