2012-05-24
It is no secret that coming into money may create strife in your personal life. Never is this truer than when other parties claim to be the rightful owners of your lottery jackpot. From a colleague who believes your winning ticket was part of a workplace pool to a misguided family member seeking to dip into your jackpot, a sudden stroke of good luck often brings a wide range of unwelcome interlopers. Knowing how to respond can help keep your winnings -- and your sanity -- intact.

Harassed By Creditors? California and Federal Laws Have Your Back
2012-05-24
The endless phone calls; the letters piling up in your mailbox; the questions from your friends and family about who has been asking about you. When a creditor comes after you for a debt, collection efforts can run the gamut from merely annoying to a serious disruption of your day-to-day routine.
Fortunately, there are a range of legal protections at your disposal under both state and federal law -- but you may not know about them. Although a Los Angeles bankruptcy attorney may be your best resource for dealing with creditor harassment in California, even a cursory review ...
Missouri's Legislators Propose Change to Methods of Judicial Selection
2012-05-24
Missouri uses a merit-based judicial selection process called the Nonpartisan Court Plan. Over the years, the selection process has become known as the Missouri Plan. The plan was adopted in 1940 to counter widespread abuses in the judicial system by "Boss Tom" Pendergast and his political network across the state.
Since the adoption of the Missouri Plan, 34 other states have used it as a guide in crafting their own policies to fill judicial vacancies.
And yet, the state's legislature may be shaking things up again. Earlier in the year the legislature attempted ...
Speed Limiters on Semis Show Impressive Safety Benefits
2012-05-24
In late March 2012, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, part of the U.S. Department of Transportation, announced study findings important for the future of commercial trucking safety. Extensive research showed that installing speed limiters, also called SLs or speed governors, on large commercial trucks provides a "profound safety benefit."
Profound indeed -- the study concluded that such devices reportedly reduce crash rates by half.
An SL is an electronic device that keeps a truck engine below a programmed speed limit. SLs are already voluntarily ...
When Doctors Fail to Review Hospital Test Results
2012-05-24
When you go to the hospital, you expect that medical professionals will be able to diagnose and treat any conditions you are suffering from. To do so, doctors may run a battery of tests, and sometimes perform exploratory surgery. Some tests may take days to run, so occasionally, patients may be discharged from the hospital before these tests return.
One would hope that doctors would still review these test results. Unfortunately, this sometimes doesn't happen, resulting in the potential for misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis.

Bankruptcy and Personal Injury Don't Mix
2012-05-24
Despite difficult economic times, the American Bankruptcy Institute has noted the number of bankruptcy filings has dropped across the country. However, a recent opinion from the Illinois Appellate Court confirms that trial lawyers from both sides of the bar should be aware that bankruptcy filings can, and will, impact your case. In Berge, the First District found that the doctrine of judicial estoppel bars a plaintiff from proceeding with a cause of action in state court where the plaintiff fails to disclose the action as an asset in a bankruptcy petition. Berge v. Kuno ...

2012-05-24
The surgery went fine, but the result was not.
Florence Fiedler, now 81, of New Canaan, thought she was going to Yale-New Haven Hospital for what has become a fairly routine procedure - implantation of a pacemaker. As expected, the surgery went fine.
However, while still sedated she fell from the operating table to the floor, crashing with such force that she suffered from traumatic brain injury, a broken collar bone, broken hip and broken toe. Hitting her head caused bleeding around the lining of her brain. She also damaged her back.
Atty. James Horwitz, the lawyer ...
