2010-09-10

FORT WORTH, TX, September 10, 2010 (Press-News.org) The DePuy Hip Recall Patient Video provides information to patients and their doctors about the cause of the failure of the DePuy ASR hip replacement.

Since 2006, hundreds of DePuy hip replacement patients in the United States have had to undergo additional hip revision surgery due to the DePuy ASR hip failure according to the reports made to the FDA. Lawyers familiar with defective medical device law report that a Depuy hip class action and DePuy hip lawsuits have been filed.

Patients who have had a hip replacement since 2003 and are experiencing pain are urged to contact their orthopedic surgeons or the hospital where their hip surgery took place to find out if the DePuy ASR Hip was used in their hip replacement surgery.

Lawyers that practice in the area of defective hip implants have begun to prepare legal claims for patients, in spite of the lack of a DePuy ASR hip recall. These DePuy ASR Hip lawsuits will seek monetary damages and medical monitoring for the patients. The Johnson Law Firm, a national law firm at the forefront of defective hip replacement litigation, opened a DePuy ASR division within the firm dedicated to filing DePuy hip replacement lawsuits on behalf of patients who have had DePuy ASR hip revision surgery.

The Johnson Law Firm has represented over one hundred hip replacement patients since 2001. The firm has clients from every state.

Jackpot Winner at Online Casino Refuses to Collect 'Unlucky' Jackpot

2010-09-10

The player Mr C, of Chinese origin, won the jackpot on WowPot, was initially delighted to win the sum but later became concerned that the amount won was inauspicious and a portentous signifier of death. Terry Maverick, the spokes person for Jackpot City had this to say: "The player contacted our customer services department, quite concerned about the winning amount. He was obviously keen not to lose out on the money, but at the same time wary of bringing bad luck on himself or his family. It is a first for us, where a player refuses to accept the cheque for their ...

Banks are Failing Their Customers as Brits Turn to Other Ways of Raising Finance, Says Speed-e-Loans

2010-09-10

With banks seemingly becoming less and less likely to help their customers with their short term finance needs, Brits are turning to pawnbrokers and payday loans in a bid to make ends meet. Commenting on how the number of pawnbrokers has more than doubled in the last seven years, with 1,300 now across the UK compared to just 500 in 2003*, finance expert and CEO of payday loan company speed-e-loans Gary Miller-Cheevers says: "Isn't it shocking that the great British public have had to resort to clearing out the attic just to make ends meet?

Another Fatal Accident Reminds South Carolinians to Hang Up and Drive

2010-09-10

A grieving North Carolina father may seem like an unlikely advocate for South Carolina's "Great Hang Up" campaign, but Amos Johnson is trying to move on from a personal tragedy by encouraging others to act responsibly behind the wheel. His emotional story centers on the death of his 16-year-old daughter, Ashley Johnson. Ashley was on her way to work on July 23, 2010, when she apparently looked down to check a text message, drifted into and across the centerline, and struck a pickup head-on. Mr. Johnson's story is particularly poignant because he went to great lengths ...

Ohio Parochial School Principal Accused of DUI

2010-09-10

A popular biblical quote proclaims that one should "judge not lest ye be judged," but when a DUI case involves a prominent individual -- especially one affiliated with a religious organization -- judgment runs rampant. A Catholic school principal was recently accused of drunk driving after being pulled over for driving erratically along I-75. Rob Fortener, the principal of Holy Angels School in Dayton, Ohio, will keep his job for the time being pending an investigation by Dayton police and the Archdiocese of Cincinnati regarding his suspected DUI. In an e-mail sent out ...

New Jersey Supreme Court Opinion Affects DWI Implied Consent Law

2010-09-10

The New Jersey Supreme Court recently issued an opinion that has major implications for law enforcement's implementation of the state's implied consent law. Like many jurisdictions, the Garden State's DWI statutes include a provision that all drivers suspected of intoxication must submit to testing for the presence of alcohol in their system. Those who refuse are subject to license revocation for at least seven months to a year and a fine of up to $1,000 for a first offense. The Supreme Court has now decided that all motorists are entitled to an explanation of the law in ...

Law Enforcement Officials Seize Over $1 Million in Marijuana

2010-09-10

Lexington County law enforcement recently received a tip concerning a large marijuana grow operation located in a remote swamp area off of Highway 178 near Pelion. As the site was not accessible by any vehicle, the Narcotics Enforcement Team, a multi-agency team from Lexington County, used aircraft surveillance to view the area prior to the raid. No one was at the scene and no arrests have been made. Officials believe the area was abandoned shortly after the surveillance began. Nearly 2,000 plants were seized and police estimate the total value of the operation at $1 ...

Car Sharing: Social Media, Insurance and a New Model of Ownership

2010-09-10

With car-sharing pools growing in popularity for economic and environmental reasons, California is poised to take the concept to a new level. In June, the California General Assembly unanimously passed a bill that would enable owners to share their cars within car-sharing pools and be reimbursed for gas, maintenance and depreciation without losing their personal car insurance coverage. If and when the legislation passes in the State Senate, the effect is likely to stimulate many more car-sharing programs across the country, including Florida. The economic and environmental ...

Complex Property Division in New Jersey

2010-09-10

Dividing property will always be one of the most challenging aspects of a divorce. New Jersey law calls for the equitable distribution of property, but separating spouses can rarely agree on the proper definition of equitable at the beginning of divorce proceedings. The division of property becomes even more challenging when the marital estate includes assets that have accumulated during marriage but have not yet fully matured. For example, consider the division of stock options. When stock options are granted during a marriage but will not vest until after the divorce, ...

Business Valuation As Part of Divorce in New Jersey

2010-09-10

Money matters often are among the most controversial aspects of a divorce. While other aspects of the divorce may be open to compromise based on the particular interests of the respective spouses, money is ultimately a zero-sum endeavor; every dollar assigned to one spouse is a dollar the other does not have. Accordingly, issues such as the equitable distribution of property and alimony are at the heart of many disputes. Although these are clearly related issues, they must be considered independently. When a family-owned business has provided a significant source of ...
