Hair Relaxer Endometrial Cancer Lawsuit

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

Our lawyers are helping victims seek hair relaxer settlements throughout the country. This page is about how chemical hair straighteners can cause endometrial cancer.

African American women are nearly twice as likely to die from endometrial cancer. Why? Everyone knew this. No one bothered to dig into all of the possible reasons why. Hair relaxer lawsuits allege that L’oreal (Dark & Lovely) and other makers of hair relaxers put their heads in the sand and put women at risk.

A major new study from NIH has found that long-term use of chemical hair straighteners and/or relaxers can significantly increase the risk of endometrial cancer (and other female hormone cancers). This new evidence connecting hair relaxers and endometrial cancer has prompted product liability lawsuits against cosmetic companies.

Gunshot Wound Verdicts

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

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.

Average Verdict in Texas Personal Injury Lawsuit

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

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.
