Involuntary Bankruptcy Proceedings Under Chapter 7 and 11
2010-09-18
Recent financial struggles facing the Texas Rangers baseball team have brought attention to the issue of involuntary bankruptcy proceedings.

Insurance Companies Shamelessly Profit From The Death of Servicemembers
2010-09-18
Who should be allowed to profit from the death of Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and Marines? The question is almost so appalling as to be absurd. And yet, those are the accusations made by family members, that insurance companies are taking advantage of the death of military personnel to make substantial profits on their life insurance proceeds.
Prudential Financial Inc. is a government contractor handling term life insurance policies for military personnel; it is called Servicemember Group Life Insurance (SGLI).When servicemembers die, though, the company does not pay ...
With The Housing Market In Shambles, Who Will Pay?
2010-09-18
Although the real estate market began its collapse several years ago, banks and lenders continue to sort out the related issues today. According to the New York Times, during the real estate boom years banks nationwide lent homeowners more than approximately a trillion dollars in the form of home equity loans. These loans were secured solely by the value of homes, which once seemed to increase without bound.
As home values rapidly declined, though, so did the ability and willingness of these homeowners to repay their home equity loans. The American Bankers Association ...

2010-09-18
New social media such as Facebook, MySpace and Twitter have provided a forum for many of us to interact with friends. Whether catching up with friends with whom we may have lost touch, sharing pictures of our families or our weekend adventures, or using the media to brag or "vent" about something we feel strongly about, social media allows us the ability to do all of this and more.
While this may seem like innocent fun, many are finding out that what is posted or "tweeted" on or through these media sites can and will be used against them in family court. In a world ...
Workers' Compensation and Social Media Sabotage in New York
2010-09-18
Workers' compensation helps many employees injured on the job to heal without the threat of financial ruin. These workers face an inability to work coupled with unexpected medical bills; luckily the workers' compensation system helps them to stay afloat. Unfortunately, some people abuse the system by exaggerating the extent of their injuries or by providing evidence for an injury that did not actually occur.
These dishonest few have made it more difficult for employees with real injuries, who are now watched with critical eyes. While social media websites like Facebook ...

Spikes in Auto Recalls: Is the Auto Industry Growing More Cautious?
2010-09-18
Automakers have recalled nearly 20 million vehicles in the past year, including some recalls involving marginal safety risks. The spike in recalls prompts industry observers to wonder if manufacturers have become more concerned with safety, whether they're under pressure from an energized federal watchdog or whether they're simply doing all they can to avoid the damaging publicity Toyota endured during its massive recalls late in 2009 and early this year.
In the first half of 2010, carmakers recalled 10.2 million vehicles, according to the Detroit News. That's about ...

Toyota Issues Yet Another Recall
