Rotator Cuff Injury Case Value | Personal Injury Lawyers

A Jury Verdict Research study reports that rotator cuff injuries reached a 7-year high in 2006 with a compensatory award median of $72,667. This is almost 50% higher than previously reported settlements and verdicts in rotator cuff injury cases.

Our lawyers have never understood while the national data in these cases was so low. Washington D.C. rotator cuff injuries have averaged well over $100,000 for rotator cuff settlements and verdicts, so we have never understood why the national average was as low as it has been. In any event, for whatever reason, rotator cuff verdicts are on the rise.

Truvada Lawsuit

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

Our law firm is taking on new Truvada lawsuits and other HIV drug injury lawsuits involving kidney or bone injuries in all 50 states.

HIV drugs containing tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) are, we believe, putting patients at risk. This has resulted in HIV drug lawsuits from victims alleging kidney disease and failure, bone density loss, bone injuries, and other side effects.

Viread® and Truvada® are two of the first brand-name drugs developed by Gilead Sciences to treat HIV. Viread and Truvada both use tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF), a new type of antiviral drug that was one of the first effective treatments for slowing HIV.

Asbestos Lung Cancer Lawsuit

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

Asbestos exposure is directly linked to mesothelioma, a rare type of cancer that is caused only by asbestos. However, exposure to airborne asbestos particles has also been shown to cause lung cancer. Mesothelioma and lung cancer are somewhat similar in that they both involve the lungs and respiratory system; they are distinctly different types of cancer that originate from different tissues.

Anyone who had significant occupational exposure to asbestos and was subsequently diagnosed with lung cancer may be able to file an asbestos lung cancer lawsuit and receive financial compensation. The product liability lawyers at Miller & Zois are seeking and accepting cases from anyone who meets these criteria. If you developed lung cancer after years of asbestos exposure, call us at 800-553-8082.

About Mesothelioma

Mesothelioma is a type of cancer that primarily affects the mesothelium, a thin layer of tissue that covers most of the internal organs. Mesothelioma is very unique among cancers because it only has 1 cause, and we know exactly what that is. Mesothelioma is caused by exposure to asbestos. When asbestos fibers are inhaled or ingested, they can become lodged in the lining of the lungs, abdomen, or other organs, leading to inflammation, scarring, and eventually the development of cancerous cells.
