Orlando Car Accident Attorney Wins $116,000 for Accident Victim

The attorneys at Jaspon & Armas, P.A. fought and won a personal injury law suit recovering $116,000 in losses and damages.

2012-03-13

WINTER PARK, FL, March 13, 2012 (Press-News.org) The experienced Orlando auto accident lawyers of Jaspon & Armas, P.A. obtained a jury verdict of $116,000 for a client in a case against State Farm Insurance.

Before filing a lawsuit, State's Farm's top offer was $3,5000 for our client. After being forced to file a lawsuit and just before trial, State Farm's top offer for our client was $25,000. State Farm turned down a counter settlement offer from the firm for $75,000.00, so the attorneys at Jaspon & Armas fought for their client in the Miami-Dade Court. The end result was an award by the jury for the client in the amount of $116,000 on January 11th, 2012.

The Plaintiff was a Vietnamese refugee now living in the United States and working as a nail technician. He was driving home from dinner one night with his wife when a vehicle driven by a woman insured by State Farm crashed into him. The woman did not have the right of way and was at fault for the accident.

Our client did not receive treatment on the scene, but went to a chiropractor 17 days later for neck and back pain. After completing chiropractic treatment, which did little to improve his neck pain, an Orthopedic Surgeon recommended a procedure called a discectomy. At the time of trial, our client still had not had the procedure done, but the jury awarded him the money to get the procedure done in the future.

After a trial, the jury determined that State Farm's insured was at fault for the accident which caused our client's injuries and awarded the Plaintiff $116,000 in losses and damages. Attorney's fees and costs will also be awarded because the jury awarded over 25% more than Plaintiff's Proposal for Settlement.

Attorney Andrea Armas commented, "I am pleased to help my client take on a large insurance provider and win." It is my pleasure to be able to assist injured Orlando car accident victims when they need it most so that they can be compensated for their medical expenses, lost wages and other losses."

CASE NO: 10-11733-CA-20

Penn researchers find Epstein Barr-like virus infects and may cause cancer in dogs

2012-03-13

PHILADELPHIA -- More than 90 percent of humans have antibodies to the Epstein Barr virus. Best known for causing mononucleosis, or "the kissing disease," the virus has also been implicated in more serious conditions, including Hodgkin's, non-Hodgkin's and Burkitt's lymphomas. Yet little is known about exactly how EBV triggers these diseases. Now a team of researchers from the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine and Penn's Perelman School of Medicine has the first evidence that an Epstein Barr-like virus can infect and may also be responsible for ...

TEMPE (March 12, 2012) - Maybe you've had a reoccurring sore throat or frequent headaches. Perhaps the pain in your leg won't go away.

Researcher uses medical imaging technology to better understand fish senses

2012-03-13

KINGSTON, R.I. – March 12, 2012 – University of Rhode Island marine biologist Jacqueline Webb gets an occasional strange look when she brings fish to the Orthopedics Research Lab at Rhode Island Hospital. While the facility's microCT scanner is typically used to study bone density and diseases like osteoporosis, it is also providing new insights into the skull structure and sensory systems of fish. A professor of biological sciences and director of the marine biology program at URI, Webb studies the lateral line system, a sensory system in all fishes that enables them ...

Scientists document first consumption of abundant life form, Archaea

2012-03-13

CORVALLIS, Ore. – A team of scientists has documented for the first time that animals can and do consume Archaea – a type of single-celled microorganism thought to be among the most abundant life forms on Earth. Archaea that consume the greenhouse gas methane were in turn eaten by worms living at deep-sea cold seeps off Costa Rica and the West Coast of the United States. Archaea perform many key ecosystem services including being involved with nitrogen cycling, and they are known to be the main mechanism by which marine methane is kept out of the atmosphere. The finding ...

A new theory on the formation of the oldest continents

2012-03-13

The earth's structure can be compared to an orange: its crust is the peel supported by the earth's heavy mantle. That peel is made up of a continental crust 30 to 40 kilometers thick. It is much lighter than the thinner oceanic crust and protrudes from the earth's mantle because of its lower density, like an iceberg in the sea. "According to the current theory, the first continental crusts were formed when tectonic plates would collide, submerging oceanic crusts into the earth's mantle, where they would partially melt at a depth of approximately 100 kilometers. That molten ...

New study examines stair-related injuries among children in the US

2012-03-13

A new study by researchers at the Center for Injury Research and Policy of The Research Institute at Nationwide Children's Hospital found that from 1999 through 2008, more than 93,000 children younger than 5 years of age were treated in U.S. emergency departments for stair-related injuries. On average, this equates to a child younger than 5 years of age being rushed to an emergency department for a stair-related injury every six minutes in the U.S. The study, which is being released online March 12, 2012 and appearing in the April 2012 print issue of Pediatrics, noted ...

Preemies still receive inhaled nitric oxide despite lack of supporting evidence and standards

2012-03-13

Many premature infants throughout the United States continue to receive inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) during their NICU stay, despite the lack of evidence to support its use. Whether or not a preemie will receive iNO treatment, when and for how long, varies greatly throughout the country, as its use in premature infants appears to be unstandardized. These are the findings of a Nationwide Children's Hospital study appearing in the journal Pediatrics. Inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) is a selective pulmonary vasodilator approved for use in term and near-term infants with hypoxic ...

These are the findings from a study appearing in Pediatrics that examined the ImproveCareNow network's quality improvement efforts and their impact on outcomes. In this study, the proportion of children with Crohn's disease who were in remission increased from 55 percent to 68 percent, with a similar improvement in ulcerative colitis ...
