Medical expenses are second only to divorce as a cause of bankruptcies across our nation. Everyone -- from politicians to homemakers -- seems to know that we are in the midst of a health care crisis, but no one seems to know what to do about it. Skyrocketing costs and a floundering economy have put more hospitals in need of aggressive collection tactics as fewer people are financially able to pay their medical bills. Unpaid bills are not just written off by the providers, however. Hospitals, clinics, physicians and others in the medical industry pass those expenses along ...

A ruling from the California Court of Appeals has conclusively established the California Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1973 (Cal-OSHA) as having the force of law. Importantly, one provision of Cal-OSHA requires anyone working on a worksite to report hidden hazards that they have discovered at a multi-contractor work site. If a contractor does not warn others about a discovered but non-obvious danger, the contractor may be held liable in a personal injury lawsuit. Attorney Bradley Corsiglia of Corsiglia, McMahon & Allard, successfully argued this appeal. The ...

Not as Many Lives Saved by Mammogram, Study Finds A recent study published in the New England Journal of Medicine suggests that frequent mammograms may not be as big a factor in reducing breast cancer deaths as previously thought.

According to the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, annual mammograms for women starting at age 50 are thought to reduce the likelihood ...

When such injuries prevent use of arms, fingers or legs, the law allows for scheduled payments that correspond with the severity of the particular injury.

While some workers may prefer monthly workers' compensation ...
