Enforcement Change Leads to Surge in Drug Recalls

2010-08-28

Drug recalls soared by 300 percent to a record number of 1742 in 2009. One drug company--now defunct--accounted for over 1000 of those recalls, but the increase is still 50% over 2008. Although the marked increase has led some to speculate about a decline in product safety, according to pharmaceutical injury lawyers at The Cochran Firm, the difference is more likely an attitude shift toward increased enforcement than a sudden change in product safety. Industry analysts cite a number of factors that led to the increase, including: - Drug repackaging - Rush to produce ...

Newer Employees Means More On-The-Job Injuries

2010-08-28

With the economy showing some signs of recovering, many companies have ended hiring freezes. While positive for the jobless, the influx of new workers into the corporate world often means an increase in on-the-job injuries - and increased workers' compensation costs for employers. Harry Shuford, chief economist for the National Council on Compensation Insurance, noted, "When the rate of hiring increases, we see some upward pressure on injury rates and frequency."

The States' Battle to Take Back Immigration Reform From Uncle Sam

2010-08-28

The federal government has always maintained jurisdiction over the laws surrounding immigration. However, states around the country feel that the Obama Administration is not combating the problems associated with immigration and thus forcing them to pass their own laws. Numerous states have introduced bills, but Arizona is the first to take the lead at passing a real state-level immigration law. However, Arizona's attempts at passing their own law have hit a roadblock after a federal district court judge issued an injunction against the state's measures. Arizona's Immigration ...

When these vehicles collide with smaller passenger vehicles, the consequences are often catastrophic. When these trucks rollover, the potential for serious harms only increases. And while rollovers account for a small percentage of accidents involving tractor-trailers, these accidents disproportionately result in fatalities. Trucks designed to transport liquids, known ...
