According to the Louisiana Record, a recycling company is being sued by two Louisiana men who were injured on its premises. The men were harmed by a crane that was being used to try to remove scrap metal from a trailer. Lawyers in Louisiana know that when a company provides a service to the public and opens its doors to do business, the company has an obligation to ensure the safety of patrons. In this case, it will be important to determine if the company fell short in its obligation in a way that led to the crane accident and resulting injuries.
What is the Recycling Company’s Responsibility?
The Louisiana Record reports that the two men injured at the recycling company were hurt as a result of a crane attached to a trailer belonging to one of the men. The crane was attached to help remove scrap metal when it got stuck and allegedly lifted. The trailer was shaken by the crane and hit the rear of one of the men’s trucks. Both of the men were reportedly injured as a result of the impact.
The two men filed a lawsuit in the Central District Court and the defendant recycling company has been accused of failing to properly train its employs, improperly entrusting a crane to its employees, and operating a business with unsafe practices and unsafe operations.

Recall and Warnings due to False Claims about Diabetes Drugs

This July, the Food and Drug Administration issued a warning to diabetes patients about diabetes treatments that were being illegally sold. The FDA cautioned that some companies are trying to take advantage of the rising number of patients with diabetes by making false promises. Just a few short days later, on July 31, the FDA released yet another warning to diabetes patients, this time alerting them about a massive recall of diabetes test strips.
Our attorneys know that diabetes patients are generally reliant on a variety of different medical products and drugs in order to manage and treat symptoms of their condition. Unfortunately, the reliance on medical products puts diabetes patients at great risk of harm when drug companies and pharmaceutical manufacturers release dangerous or defective products.
FDA Warnings to Diabetes Patients
The first of the FDA warnings released towards the end of July addressed products sold with false claims about their ability to prevent, treat and cure diabetes. The FDA had launched an investigation of diabetes products that were being marketed to consumers with promises that could not be kept, surveying the marketplace to find treatments that were being sold illegally.
The FDA found that there were an abundance of such products and sent 15 different companies warning letters indicating that their sale of diabetes products was violating federal law. The drugs targeted by the FDA included:
- Products sold as dietary supplements
- Alternative medicines such as ayurvedics
- Prescription drugs
- Over the counter drugs
- Homeopathic products

Construction Worker Deaths Up by 5 Percent in 2012
Posted: October 31, 2013 | Author: Lawyer | Filed under: Rituxan | Tags: Construction Worker Death Lawyer | Comments Off on Construction Worker Deaths Up by 5 Percent in 2012According to a new report released by the United States Department of Labor, the number of construction workers killed on construction sites rose 5 percent in 2012, from 738 to 775. The Department of Labor has deemed the construction industry the “deadliest industry in the United States.” Falls, slips, and trips remain a construction worker’s worst enemy: in 2012, 280 construction workers died from a workplace fall, slip, or trip, which represented over a third of all construction related deaths. The remaining categories of construction deaths are transportation incidents (216), traumatic contact with on-site objects or equipment (135), and exposure to harmful substances or environments (102). Looking for a workers compensation attorney?
From our vast experience in construction cases, we know employees in the construction industry work from great heights every day, and falls are very common. Therefore, it is critical to make sure your employer provides the safety equipment you need to protect yourself from falls, by tying-off or using a horizontal lifeline, if working from heights greater than seven feet. In addition, you must always report an unsafe work environment if your employer does not provide you with a safe environment to work from heights.

Why Having a Last Will and Testament Should Be a Priority. – Blog 864

Maybe in the back of your mind you know that you should have a written Last Will and Testament in place. Perhaps you see a tragic news story about the death of a parent with young kids and you think about what would happen to your own kids in that situation. But then, days and weeks get away from you and this task on a long to-do list never gets done. If this sounds familiar, let me encourage you to move the drafting of your will up ahead of cleaning out your closets, trimming the hedges or a whole host of other tasks that fight for our free time. And as a licensed Texas attorney in the legal areas of wills, trusts and estates, I will share a few reasons why.
You’re a single parent with full custody or conservatorship of your child. If something happens to you and your desired guardianship is not spelled out, does the child’s other parent, who has made little effort to be in his life before now, get custody? If you own a home, do you want that property to be sold upon your death? Have there been plans discussed for a child or grandchild to live in that home after your death. If this plan isn’t known to the entire family, that move-in date might never happen. Or, do you have advanced medical directives on file with your medical doctor?
You have a heart attack while running at the gym. It’s not pleasant to think about, but it happens. Would your wife know how to access your life insurance papers and your retirement account? Is she aware of every source of debt in your household, if any, or have you always handled all of the home finances? By not cataloguing all of these details, you are making an emotionally taxing time for your spouse even more difficult.
