The page looks at the Hawaii wildfire lawsuits lawyers are filing – and will continue to file against Hawaiian Electric. While there may be other defendants as the investigation unfolds, every Hawaii fire lawsuit has targeted Hawaiian Electric.

This new litigation will bring thousands of property damage, injury, and wrongful death claims. Hawaiian Electric is worth $4 billion.  That will unlikely be enough.

How will these lawsuits play out?  Some lawyers have filed a Lahaina Maui wildfire class action lawsuit.  This will be a good option for some victims.  For other plaintiffs, a class action lawsuit is absolutely the wrong path.

Our lawyers are investigating Ozempic lawsuits for patients with gastroparesis or gastrointestinal conditions, including bowle obstruction, or cyclic vomiting syndrome.

Ozempic is the popular brand name for semaglutide, a prescription drug approved for the treatment of type-2 diabetes. Ozempic is also commonly used as a weight management drug. Recent scientific studies have shown that taking Ozempic, particularly at higher doses, can cause gastroparesis.

Until recently, the warning label for Ozempic did not correctly notify patients or doctors about the risk of these injuriees. Anyone who suffered gastroparesis after taking Ozempic may be able to get financial compensation for their injuries by filing a product liability lawsuit.

Anyone who was the victim of sexual abuse at school can file a civil lawsuit against the school and get compensation.

This post will look at sexual abuse lawsuits filed against schools. These school sex abuse lawsuits can be brought by current or former students who were the victims of sexual abuse committed by a teacher or another student at school. Successful plaintiffs can get significant financial compensation.


UPDATES:

The Bard PowerPort (also known as the “BardPort”) is a port catheter device implanted just under the skin to allow for easy attachment to a catheter for the intravenous delivery of fluids or medication.

The Bard PowerPort has inherent design and manufacturing flaws that make the device prone to fracturing and migrating out of position. This can cause severe injuries, including internal vascular damage.

Individuals who suffered injuries due to a defective Bard PowerPort device are now bringing product liability lawsuits against the manufacturer of the PowerPort implants. Our firm is currently accepting new cases from anyone who had a Bard PowerPort port cath device implanted and was injured due to a fracture, migration, or other implant failures.

In recent years, rideshare companies Uber and Lyft have replaced taxicabs in most of the country, and millions of people have used these companies for rides.

Uber has been facing a growing number of allegations and civil lawsuits from rideshare passengers alleging that Uber drivers sexually assaulted them. The lawsuits against Uber allege that the company should be held liable for these sexual assaults because it negligently failed to screen its drivers properly.

Recently, a growing number of sexual assault lawsuits with similar allegations have been filed against Uber across the country. These cases were recently consolidated into an Uber new class action lawsuit (In re: Uber Technologies Inc., Passenger Sexual Assault Litigation – MDL No. 3084).  This new MDL has over 200 plaintiffs and is expected to grow to thousands.

The OneWheel is an electric skateboard product made by Future Motion Inc. The OneWheel features a large single wheel in the center of the board powered by an electric motor. Some Onewheel skateboards contain an apparent defect that causes them to stop suddenly and unexpectedly in mid-motion. When this happens, it can throw the rider off and cause very serious injuries.

A growing number of product liability lawsuits are being filed against Future Motion by riders who have been injured by the sudden stop defect in the OneWheel device. These lawsuits are likely going to be consolidated into a class action MDL very soon.

The national product liability lawyers at Miller & Zois are currently accepting OneWheel injury cases. If you or a loved one was injured by a OneWheel skateboard, call 800-553-8082 or contact us online now to see if you may be eligible for compensation.
