Leading UK online parcel delivery service Parcel2Go has called on businesses in Britain to think ahead and make sure they are covered in the event of widespread postal strikes. While no decisions have been taken as yet, rhetoric coming from union leaders is quite clear, said Richard Mercer, Head of Marketing at Parcel2Go. Towards the end of last month, the Communication Workers Union announced that up to 3,500 Royal Mail workers in London could start industrial action due to fears over job security. Members backed the opportunity to go on strike four-to-one. For ...

They claim that Birnbaum, a co-owner of Tenjune and the Simyone Lounge, sexually assaulted them and masturbated in front of them. A complaint was filed in New York Supreme Court that further detailed the sexual harassment allegations. In the sexual harassment lawsuit, the four women also claim that Birnbaum requested sexual favors from them and made inappropriate comments. According to New York civil rights violation lawyer David Perecman, if the owner repeatedly ...

New York civil rights violation lawyer David Perecman wants answers on why a 19-year old Bronx student was imprisoned for 40 hours for a crime his friend had confessed to doing. The false arrest by the NYPD occurred shortly after the student's friend threw a rock at a car and broke the windshield, reported the New York Daily News. Now the student is suing the NYPD and New York City for false arrest and other civil rights violations. Bryan Dale, 19, says he had to endure monthly court dates for nearly two years, trying to clear his name, while his friend was never prosecuted ...

A New York civil rights violation lawsuit accuses employees at a New York City Apple Store of telling two black men wearing "baggy jeans and large sweaters with hoods" that they were not wanted in the store. Brian Johnston, 34, and Nile Charles, 25, are suing Apple for discrimination based on a visit to the store in December 2010. They were allegedly forced to leave Apple's Upper West Side store by several employees because of their race. The plaintiffs seek punitive damages for "emotional pain, suffering, inconvenience, loss of enjoyment of life, and ...

The United States attorney's office in Manhattan and New York civil rights violation lawyer David Perecman are investigating whether the lack of wheelchair-accessible taxicabs in New York City violates parts of the Americans With Disabilities Act. After a lengthy search for a "Taxi of Tomorrow", the Taxi and Limousine Commission, which regulates which vehicles can be used as taxicabs, chose a Nissan model that is not wheelchair accessible. Federal lawyers and New York civil rights violation lawyer Perecman are conducting an evaluation of whether this complies ...

Anyone can suffer an injury or experience an unexpected condition that requires immediate care. The pressure this creates in emergency rooms and other urgent care facilities is undeniable. Difficult decisions need to be made, and they need to be made quickly. This does not mean, however, that anything goes in the ER. Doctors and other medical professionals are still bound by established standards of care in how they treat patients. And if those standards are violated by emergency room errors, injured people and their families have a right to bring legal action for medical ...

In March of 2011, 90-year-old actor Mickey Rooney tearfully testified before the Senate Aging Committee about an oft-hidden pervasive problem affecting our aging population: elder abuse. Rooney was uniquely qualified to discuss the issue, seeing as he recently resorted to getting a restraining order against his 52-year-old stepson, accusing the man of intimidating him, holding him against his will, starving him, not allowing him to read the mail and withholding necessary medications. Unfortunately, Rooney is not alone in this tragic situation. As he said to the Committee, ...

When a family member has been largely excluded from or completely left out of a will, he or she may feel a desire to mount a legal challenge. This is most often true when the intentions expressed in the document do not meet the expectations of a son, daughter, grandchild, sibling or other person who had a significant relationship with the deceased. However, seeking to overturn a will that has been properly executed according to Florida law can be extremely difficult. In general, proper execution means that the testator signed the will in the presence of two witnesses, ...

Under bankruptcy law, both individuals and businesses may file for Chapter 7 debt relief. With today's economy still lagging, small businesses are still turning to Chapter 7 to liquidate their outstanding debts. While individuals seeking Chapter 7 protection typically get a fresh start, the result of filing is very different for businesses, which many times must sell off any assets and shut down. A business owner should consult an experienced bankruptcy attorney about the potential impact and outcomes of Chapter 7 bankruptcy before filing. Bankruptcy Trends In 2010, ...

Each year, I consult with hundreds of individuals who have been ordered to leave the US by Immigration Judges. In the vast majority of these cases, the person had applied for some form of relief from removal, such as asylum, and the Immigration Judge denied the claim and either granted the person voluntary departure or simply ordered deportation. The Immigration & Nationality ACT (INA) sets forth procedural rules applicable to appealing decisions of Immigration Judges through the US Department of Justice; and appealing those decisions to the US Courts of Appeal. In ...

Despite widespread and, in some cases, high-profile outcry against the detention and deportation of certain undocumented immigrants in the US, US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has been stepping-up arrest and detention levels of immigrants in the US to levels unseen even during the Bush administration. Many of these arrests have come about as a result of well-publicized "worksite raids," where ICE has been targeting manufacturing, construction and food service industries for large-scale assaults designed to round up multiple "undocumented aliens" ...

Although no two personal injury cases in Texas will ever follow exactly the same path, there is a progression of general stages that almost every claim will go through. Should you choose to pursue a personal injury claim, your lawyer can explain the process in greater detail and apply it to your unique circumstances. But, after suffering an injury, many victims wonder just what will happen in the course of their personal injury suit. Having a basic sense of what to expect can help put your mind at ease and allow you to make informed, thought-out decisions. Pre-filing Some ...

Earlier this year a California judge heard the tragic case of a paralyzed, semiconscious mother of three who, according to her parents, is being denied a relationship with the children whose delivery nearly killed her. Three years ago, expectant mother Abbie Dorn headed to the hospital in labor with triplets. While two of the children were delivered without incident, before the third could be born, the doctor inadvertently slashed Ms. Dorn's uterus while performing a Caesarean section. The resulting blood loss caused heart failure, and malfunctioning medical equipment prevented ...

The Utah Commission on Criminal and Juvenile Justice reported 15,285 arrests for driving under the influence in 2010. Utah police use a machine called the CMI Intoxilyzer 8000 to take a breath alcohol content reading (commonly known as a breathalyzer test) of a driver suspected of driving under the influence of alcohol. This breath sample is analyzed and converted into a blood alcohol concentration. Breathalyzer test machines were developed in the 1950s as an alternative to what many believed was an overly-invasive blood test for BAC. Over the years, lawmakers and law ...

A recently approved Arizona bill -- that has not yet been signed into law -- will ease potential penalties facing those charged with driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs for the first time. Those lessened penalties come with a steep price tag, however. In exchange for reduced consequences, offenders lose the otherwise automatic option of choosing a jury to hear their case at trial instead of a judge. First-time DUI defendants would still have the right to request a jury trial, but instead of their request being granted, it would be decided upon by the trial court ...

If you are watching your finances and growing more concerned with each passing day, you may want more information on how to go about filing a bankruptcy. You may have heard of Chapter 7 and Chapter 13, but might not really understand the difference. This article is designed to help. Chapter 7 Chapter 7 is frequently referred to as providing a "fresh start." It does this by discharging most debts (some obligations can't be discharged, such as student loans.) A debtor is granted exemptions that cover their basic needs for day-to-day living. Exemptions are ...

Does the current economic climate leave your head spinning, wondering how tax and budget changes will affect you and your family? Do you ever wonder how our country got into the financial mess it is in, or why? President Obama, in the budget recently proposed to Congress, targeted two specific tax items: estate taxes and capital gains taxes. The proposed estate tax changes target mainly more affluent people with larger estates, while capital gains tax reforms mostly impact wage earners. The taxes are still up for debate, you can be sure there are changes coming, some ...

Amsterdam, The Netherlands: Using a combination of hypnosis and local anaesthesia (LA) for certain types of surgery can aid the healing process and reduce drug use and time spent in hospital, anaesthesiologists have found. The combination could also help avoid cancer recurrence and metastases, according to new research to be presented today (Sunday) at the European Anaesthesiology Congress in Amsterdam. Professor Fabienne Roelants and Dr. Christine Watremez, from the Department of Anaesthesiology at the Cliniques Universitaires St. Luc, UCL, Brussels, Belgium, studied ...

DETROIT – The incidence of internal bleeding was higher in the most commonly implanted heart device than in an earlier model, according to two studies at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit. The HeartMate II, a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) is a continuous-flow mechanical pump connected to the patient's heart that takes over the pumping of the weakened heart's left ventricle. "Although there were more instances of bleeding in the skull and gastrointestinal track with the HeartMate II, as opposed to the earlier model, there was no increase in mortality," says lead ...

May is Disability Insurance Awareness Month. This annual month of consumer outreach was founded by The Life and Health Insurance Foundation for Education, a nonprofit insurance information organization.

On April 28, 2011, the New Jersey state senate unanimously passed S837, a bill to further restrict where convicted sex offenders can reside. Should the bill become law, it will grant New Jersey municipalities the authority to create 500-foot "buffer zones" surrounding child-friendly sites like schools, daycare centers, playgrounds and churches. This would seriously curtail the housing options for any convicted sex offenders living in the area, and could effectively put entire towns off limits for some. This bill is unique in that it targets ALL convicted sex ...
