How fast am I driving?
The one thing defendants (and plaintiffs, for that matter) consistently screw up at deposition is time, speed, and distance calculations. They don’t know how fast they are driving and, if they do, they don’t screw it up with their time distance calculation.

If you are having a hard time contemplating how “unauthorized penis surgery” can happen, you are not alone. I had the same reaction when I first saw the headline about this case. But as explained below, unauthorized penis surgery is something that actually happened to a man in California and he got a malpractice award of $9 million.
Before getting into the details of the case, it is worth noting here that California caps damages for pain & suffering in malpractice cases at $250,000. This is one of the strictest caps on damages in the entire country, but it didn’t prevent the plaintiff in this case from getting a big award for what happened to this penis.
This post is about this case but also provides settlement and verdicts in penis injury medical malpractice cases.
TriStar electric pressure cookers have a design flaw that sometimes allows the device to pressurize without the locked lid. This defect causes the lid to explode when opened and projects scalding hot liquids over anyone nearby.
Users have suffered severe burns and facial disfigurement due to the lid defect. These injuries are awful to deal with and they did not have to happen.
Our firm is seeking new product liability cases from anyone seriously injured by a faulty TriStar pressure cooker device. Users who suffered burns or other injuries from their TriStar instant pressure cooker may be entitled to financial compensation.
How much will a hair relaxer lawsuit be worth? Victims have many questions about hair relaxer settlements. But the biggest question we get is what settlement payouts can victims expect.
The emergence of the hair relaxer class action lawsuit has prompted speculation on how this litigation will play out and what a hair relaxer global settlement payout might look like.
In this post, our lawyers will look at the potential settlement value of hair relaxer lawsuits involving uterine cancer, and other conditions linked to hair relaxers.
New research has shown that women who use chemical hair straighteners and/or relaxers are at a higher risk of uterine cancer. This new evidence linking hair perms and straighteners and uterus cancer has led to a wave of hair relaxer cancer uterine cancer lawsuits against cosmetic companies like L’Oreal and Revlon.
There is now a national hair relaxer class action lawsuit that houses uterine cancer claims. Our lawyers are now actively seeking women who want to seek a hair relaxer settlement for uterine cancer based on the following criteria:
According to a study by Jury Verdict Research, the average gunshot wound verdict is $727,852 ($100,000 median).
For the purposes of this study, a gunshot wound is defined as soft tissue damage to the victim caused by a birdshot, a pellet gun, BB gun, or traditional gun with no organ damage, fractures, paralysis, brain damage, visual impairment, or hearing loss.
It is difficult to recover damages for an intentional gunshot wound because it is difficult to get insurance for intentional acts and it is even more difficult to claim that the company/municipality the shooter was working for was vicariously liable or there is a negligent security angle.
According to a Jury Verdict Research study published this month, the average compensation for a personal injury lawsuit in Texas over the last six years is $826,892. The highest verdict was over $100 million, which obviously, inflated the average verdict. The median judgment is only $12,281.
Indeed, medical malpractice reform in Texas has not helped this number in recent years. A Texas medical malpractice lawyer is hard to find unless it is a birth injury case or other claims with long-term catastrophic injuries and future medical care or future lost wages. So the average Texas medical malpractice settlement or verdict in a wrongful death case without significant economic loss is likely to be less than you would typically see elsewhere.
Keep in mind, too, Texas is less a state than several countries in terms of how they value personal injury cases. So a verdict in East Texas might be very different from a verdict in San Antonio for the exact same case.
Mississippi law and Mississippi jurors give slip-and-fall victims a fair shake. Here are some recent slip and fall verdicts and settlements in Mississippi.
Below are recent Mississippi slip and fall cases. A few years back in the Hattiesburg American, there was an article that slip and fall lawsuits in Mississippi were on the rise. The article offers nothing substantive to support the premise; the opposite may be true. We see fewer reported Mississippi slip-and-fall settlements and verdicts in 2023.
