Our lawyers are handling Taxotere eye injury lawsuits throughout the United States for women with permanently watery eyes from docetaxel.

Taxotere (docetaxel) is a widely used breast cancer chemotherapy drug. New evidence has emerged showing that Taxotere may be causing some users to suffer permanent vision loss or damage.

This has led to a wave of product liability Taxotere lawsuits by women who claim that Taxotere damaged their eyesight. The manufacturer of Taxotere, Sanofi, allegedly knew about the risk of vision damage but chose not to warn doctors or patients about this risk.

New medical research has found that using chemical hair relaxers can cause uterine cancer, uterine fibroids, and other hormone-related diseases. One of the leading brands of chemical hair relaxer is ORS Olive Oil Hair Relaxer, which is manufactured by a company called Namaste, LLC.

Hair relaxer lawsuits are now being filed against Namaste and other cosmetic companies by women who used their products and developed uterine cancer or other conditions.  These lawsuits claim that Namaste’s products contain harmful chemicals, including endocrine disruptors like phthalates and formaldehyde-releasing agents, which may elevate cancer risks and cause fibroids that can lead to a hysterectomy.

This post will look at the new research linking hair relaxers to uterine cancer and the lawsuits being brought against Namaste regarding its ORS Olive Oil relaxer products.

This page will look at the settlement value of concussions in auto accident lawsuits.

The sudden force of an impact experienced during vehicle collisions can cause drivers and occupants to suffer concussion injuries. When an accident happens, anyone inside the care will experience a very strong and abrupt head movement caused by impact force. This sudden and forceful movement is what results in concussions as it causes the brain to strike the inside of the skull. Accident scenarios which commonly result in concussions include:

  • Direct Impact: Direct impact occurs when the head of a driver or passenger strikes part of the car’s interior during the accident, such as the steering wheel, dashboard, window, etc. When the head has a direct impact during an accident it tends to cause more serious concussions, as well as visible external injuries to the head.

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 severe injuries.

A growing number of product liability lawsuits are being filed against Future Motion by riders injured by the sudden stop defect in the OneWheel device. These lawsuits have been consolidated into a class action MDL. Settlement talks have already begun in these lawsuits. This page will provide the latest news and updates on this litigation, as well as our predictions on the potential settlement value of these cases.

South Carolina Injury Verdicts and Settlements

If you have a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit in South Carolina, you understandably want to understand the settlement amount or jury payout you can expect.  Example settlements and verdicts serve as an important tool in this regard. It provides valuable insights into past cases and helps in estimating potential outcomes. However, it is essential to remember that while example outcomes can be of great use,  it is only one tool among many. Its value is limited when used in isolation Each case has unique factors that can significantly influence the final settlement or verdict.

When I get sick, I assume an antibiotic will solve my problems.  I’m slightly allergic to amoxicillin. Zithromax, Z-Pak (Z-Pac, I’ve seen both), Zmax, or any similar antibiotic to treat bacterial infections is my drug of choice for ear infections, strep throat, pneumonia, traveler’s diarrhea, or other intestinal infections.

There are risks with any drug. You have been told that time and time again. But if you are like me, you just want to feel better and you have a history with antibiotics of doing just that.

A new study underscores that maybe we should slow our roll in racing to get Zithromax.  Because the study suggests that the potential side effects are more than just theoretical and can increase the risk of heart problems and death.  This gets my attention. Because I’d rather be sick than dead.
