Over the years, scientists have proven that
some molds and fungi may be to blame for allergies, infections, poisoning, and
other serious health complications. Sometimes, these toxic molds can be embedded
in houses where homeowners can’t see them. Hidden and undetected, these molds
may release powerful, poisonous toxins that can make children and adults
silently sick. Often, people don’t know that toxic molds could be the culprits
of their illnesses. If you or your family has been victimized in your home or
workplace by toxic mold, contact us today for help.

Pharmaceuticals
It is an unfortunate reality that despite safety regulations and requirements,
many harmful or inherently dangerous drugs such as Vioxx® and Risperdal® make it
into the marketplace. In many cases, these drugs have been FDA-approved for
public use without undergoing adequate testing for side effects. Although the
FDA’s role is to regulate pharmaceuticals, ultimate responsibility for the
drug’s safety lies with the drug manufacturer. Victims of dangerous drugs are
entitled to compensation for their injuries from these companies, even if the
drug has already been recalled. Our personal injury lawyers handle a variety of
pharmaceutical litigation, including the following dangerous drugs:

Vioxx®
On September 30, 2004, Merck & Co. pharmaceuticals voluntarily withdrew their
widely used arthritis medication, Vioxx® from the market. While effective at
managing acute pain, Vioxx® was found to double a patient’s risk of stroke and
heart attack in clinical studies. With nearly 80 million worldwide users
affected, the Vioxx® recall represents perhaps the largest drug recall in
history. If you or someone you love has suffered cardiovascular problems as a
result of taking Vioxx® a lawyer from our firm can help protect your rights.

Risperdal®
Risperdal® is an FDA approved antipsychotic drug intended for treatment of
schizophrenia. As the drug’s popularity has increased, however, many doctors
have begun prescribing Risperdal® for off-label uses such as the treatment of
dementia. Risperdal® has been linked to an increased risk of diabetes and
stroke, particularly in the elderly. In April 2003, Johnson & Johnson, the maker
of Risperdal®, sent a letter to thousands of doctors warning of the increased
risk of stroke and blood clots in elderly patients. If you or someone you love
has been harmed from taking Risperdal®, contact us for help.

Trucking Accidents
Semi-trucks are heavy users of our nation’s roads and highways. This trucking
traffic is, for the most part, a safe and effective means of transporting goods.
However, 18-wheelers pose very specific risks to other drivers and have caused
some of the worst accidents on our roads today. Semi-trucks have dangerous blind
spots. Their slow speeds in traffic can cause frustrated drivers to try to dodge
around them, while their heavy loads can make it difficult to stop quickly at
high speeds. The trucks also have high centers of gravity, making them more
likely to tip when going around curves. If you or someone you know has been
injured in the Ocean Springs, Mississippi, area, an experienced trucking
accident lawyer at our firm could assist you with obtaining compensation.

ATV Accidents
All-terrain vehicles (ATVs) can be extremely dangerous if not operated
correctly. With little to no state regulation of ATV use, almost anyone can
operate an ATV regardless of age, licensing, or training level. Many times it is
children who are injured or killed in ATV rollover accidents. Furthermore, prior
to 1987 vehicle manufacturers produced inherently unstable 3-wheel ATVs. The
number of accidents resulting from this design defect produced governmental
regulation requiring a more stable 4-wheel design; however, many of these
3-wheel ATVs are still in use today. If you or someone you love has been
seriously injured in an ATV accident, you may be entitled to financial
compensation. Contact us today to learn more.

Products Liability
Product manufacturers are responsible for ensuring that defective or inherently
dangerous products do not enter the market and injure consumers. If a dangerous
or inappropriately labeled toy injures a small child, a set of defective tires
causes an automobile accident, or a faulty electrical appliance causes a house
fire, the product manufacturer and possibly others in the development and supply
chain could be held liable. If you or your family member has been seriously
injured while using a product in the correctly prescribed manner, an experienced
personal injury lawyer could help protect your rights. Contact us today to set
up a consultation.

Through the 1970s, asbestos was used as
insulation in many buildings. The workers who installed the asbestos were
regularly exposed to its dangers—inhalation of its dust is now known to causes
asbestosis, lung cancer, mesothelioma (a rare form of lung cancer), and colon
cancer. Even people who work or worked in buildings insulated with asbestos are
at risk. If you are a loved one has been exposed to asbestos, our attorneys can
help you with your case. Contact us today.

Mesothelioma is a rare and dangerous form of
lung cancer linked primarily to asbestos exposure. This type of cancer affects
the lining surrounding the lungs and stomach (the pleural membrane) and can take
many years or even decades to develop. Treatment options depend on the stage at
which the cancer is caught and might include surgery, radiation, or
chemotherapy. If you or someone you love has developed mesothelioma as a result
of asbestos exposure, you may be entitled to significant compensation.
