Taxotere Eye Injury Lawsuit

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

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.

Vaginal Mesh Lawsuit

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

Women are still filing vaginal mesh lawsuits and bladder sling lawsuits in 2026, but this is no longer the enormous federal mass tort it was a decade ago. The old federal MDLs have closed. Most legacy claims have been resolved, and the remaining litigation is concentrated in individual cases and state-court dockets, including active Johnson & Johnson and Ethicon pelvic mesh cases in New Jersey.

A viable case now depends less on the history of the prior litigation and more on specific evidence: the manufacturer and product, the date of implantation, mesh erosion or another documented complication, revision surgery, and medical evidence linking the implant to the injury. Our lawyers are currently focused on selected claims involving products from Johnson & Johnson/Ethicon and Coloplast. We are not accepting new Boston Scientific mesh claims.

California Personal Injury Settlements

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

This page looks at settlement payouts and jury awards in personal injury cases in California. We provide statistics on reported settlements and jury verdicts, as well as factual summaries of recent cases resulting in payouts.

We also provide an overview of key personal injury laws in California, including the statute of limitations for injury claims, medical malpractice rules, comparative fault, and limits on damages.

Historical research published by Jury Verdict Research reported a compensatory median award of $150,000 in California personal injury trials, an average award of approximately $1.6 million, and a plaintiff recovery rate of about 45 percent. Those figures are useful background, but they should not be mistaken for current statewide averages. The dataset is not a live measure of 2026 verdicts, and the mix of catastrophic cases can push the mathematical average far above the result in a typical case.

Chlorpyrifos Lawsuits

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

Chlorpyrifos lawsuits allege that repeated exposure to this widely used insecticide can contribute to Parkinson’s disease. The people most likely to bring these claims are farmers, pesticide applicators, pest control workers, groundskeepers, greenhouse employees, and others who personally mixed, loaded, sprayed, or cleaned up chlorpyrifos products over months or years.

Chlorpyrifos was sold under trade names that include Dursban, Lorsban, Cobalt, Nufos, Bolton, Stallion, Pilot, Warhawk, and Hatchet. It was used on farms, golf courses, ornamental plants, and residential and commercial properties. Many workers remember the trade name but not the active ingredient. Product identification is therefore one of the first and most important parts of investigating a claim.

If you have Parkinson’s disease after years of working with pesticides, you may have wondered whether that exposure played a role. A December 2025 study gives lawyers and scientists a serious reason to investigate chlorpyrifos. Researchers associated estimated long-term residential exposure near agricultural applications with more than 2.5 times the risk of Parkinson’s disease. They also found Parkinson’s-related brain damage in mice that inhaled chlorpyrifos.

In this post, we will provide a brief overview of sexual abuse lawsuits in New York. We will explain the applicable statute of limitations for sex abuse civil cases in New York and how settlement amounts are calculated in these cases.
