Heparin is a potentially lilfe-saving drug which has been in use since the 1930s. It's chiefly helpful in patients who have a risk of developing fatal blood clots during some medical procedures. In Texas or elsewhere, as a blood thinner, heparin is an anticoagulant that lessens blood’s clotting ability. Often given by injection or subcutaneously (through an IV or just below the skin), it's used to prevent blood clots from forming and to help stop growth of already formed blood clots. When heparin harms, find a lawyer to help.
The Duragesic pain patch is used to treat moderate to severe chronic pain by slowly administering narcotic doses to patients whose pain can’t be managed with less potent medicine. Placed on the skin and lasting 72 hours, such patches gradually provide fentanyl gel, a highly concentrated drug which is 81 times stronger as a pain-killer than morphine. Clearly, misuse of a Duragesic pain patch can prove fatal. But also fatal can be millions of pain patches which have a defective fold-over.
Again, a medical device created to heal ends up harming. In this case such a device is the pain pumps used on patients who have had arthroscopic shoulder surgery. A variety of these shoulder pain pumps’ manufacturers reportedly directed doctors to use the pumps in a manner not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Find a lawyer with Jim S. Adler & Associates if you or a loved one has been harmed as a result.
After assessing more than 50 scientific studies and crunching compelling numbers involving deaths and injuries, the National Safety Council, chartered by Congress, is urging a total ban on cell phone use while driving. This ban would apply to hand-held or hands-free cell phones, as well as texting. Yet cell phone accidents persist, so you may need Jim "the Hammer" Adler's team of personal injury lawyers. Find a lawyer with Adler today.
As Jim "the Hammer" Adler knows, just as rollovers have given SUVs (sport utility vehicles) a bad name, they’ve done the same for ATVs (all-terrain vehicles) such as the Yamaha Rhino. According to the Consumer Products Safety Commission, ATV driving leads to more than 700 deaths and more than 135,000 injuries annually in America, and about 30 per cent of those involve children. Texas is among the top five states for ATV deaths, along with Pennsylvania, California, West Virginia and Kentucky.
Every day, Americans hear, read or see news reports, then react with horror to war, famine, air crashes, hurricanes and other major calamities and natural disasters. Yet one of the most costly and horrific travesties in our society continues year after year without the unified and sustained outrage it merits, in part because it occurs in small increments which add up. Victims can find a lawyer with Adler & Associates to fight back.
When it comes to the defective drug Reglan, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has had enough. This year the FDA issued its fabled "black box warning" -- its most severe admonition -- on the labeling for prescription pharmaceuticals containing the generic drug metoclopramide, also known under the brand name Reglan. Users are now formally warned that the drug which is often used to treat acid reflux or heartburn can be extremely dangerous.
Persons who undergo the unpleasantness of a colonoscopy to find possible health dangers may experience severe health problems as a result of the exam. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has issued an urgent national warning -- including a so-called "box warning" -- for products using OSP, or Oral Sodium Phosphate. Sold both over-the-counter and via prescription, OSP often is taken as a laxative to clean out the bowels prior to an exam such as a colonoscopy.

Again, a defective drug unleashed by a pharmaceutical company may be endangering many Americans. In this case it is Raptiva, a psoriasis drug which could cause a serious brain infection and even result in death.
The Food and Drug Administration on Feb. 19 issued an advisory citing three confirmed cases -- and a possible fourth case -- of persons being diagnosed with progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) after they were treated with Raptiva.
Parents who try to do everything for their children don't necessarily help them, but hurt them. Take the fact that many parents are providing alcohol to their children who are under drinking age. Such children then can hurt themselves and others, particularly while driving. In fact, On Jan. 24, 2009, a 16-year-old boy in Georgia died upon crashing his car into an oncoming vehicle after reportedly being served alcohol by a friend's mother.
Again, an outbreak of potentially deadly salmonella food poisoning is afflicting Americans, but this time it's more clear-cut than in 2008, when authorities labored for weeks to find the source, first blaming tomatoes, then jalapenos, and finally pinpointing the origin to Serrano peppers grown in Mexico.
By definition, hospitals are supposed to boost our health. But they often do quite the opposite. An estimated 2 million Americans annually acquire infections in hospitals, and 90,000 of them die -- twice the number of those who die in all traffic accidents. In fact, more people die from hospital-acquired infections than die from traffic accidents, AIDS and breast cancer combined.
Millions of Americans use cell phones while driving. But safe Americans never do, because facts are facts: Cell phone distractions cause enormous losses in lives, injuries and property damage. Study after study proves it, and every day drivers see such distractions, whether they lead to a car accident or not. You can find a lawyer or attorney with Adler & Associates to battle back.
“Tell ‘em. Tell ‘em again. Tell ‘em you told ‘em.” It’s a formula for writing TV news stories. But no matter how many times TV carries reports about deadly accidents in SUVs, folks don’t seem to get the message: rollover wrecks are killers. So Jim Adler, a successful rollover accident lawyer, is reminding you of the danger even though the latest deadly rollover spree got plenty of news coverage.
In the wake of Hurricane Ike, thousands of homeowners face struggles to repair and restore their homes – struggles in which their homeowners insurance is a vital element. But while Ike has spurred a strong sense of community and a rallying spirit in neighborhoods, that same spirit may not extend to all insurance companies or to all contractors offering their services to clean up or repair.
With America on the verge of a hazardous holiday weekend, Americans finally get some good news on the drunk driving front – though only to a point. Transportation Secretary Mary Peters says drunk driving fatalities for 2007 dropped in 32 states. Meanwhile, America’s drunk driving fatality total fell from nearly 13,500 in 2006 to 12,998 in 2007.
With Tropical Storm Gustav bearing down on their offshore oil rigs, oil companies are evacuating non-essential personnel from the many rigs dotting America's Gulf Coast. But oil workers on shore aren’t always so lucky.
Again, a major construction crane collapse has taken lives, this time at the LyondellBasell oil refinery along the Houston Ship Channel. Four workers were killed and seven were injured in the Friday afternoon accident, the third fatal construction crane collapse in America this year.
Again, pharmaceutical giant Merck & Co. may be involved in potentially harmful if not fatal drugs. This time such a drug may be Vytorin, which Merck produces along with Schering-Plough Pharmaceuticals. The Food and Drug Administration is exploring whether Vytorin, which is used to reduce cholesterol, could instead fail in that task while also contributing to its users getting cancer.
