A train accident lawyer can put you on the right track
Trains. You may have grown up playing with them. You may still laughingly label them “choo-choos.” Your child may enjoy DVDs of the lovably animated Thomas the Tank Engine. And you may like to consider your spunky self “the little train that could.”
But such warm-fuzzy feelings about trains should not eclipse a basic truth: They’re [...]
Taint grows worse on salmonella-poisoning company
Just when you thought negligence in peanut butter salmonella food poisoning couldn’t get worse, it has. The New York Times reports that Food and Drug Administration officials inspecting Peanut Corporation of America’s plant in southwest Georgia learned that plant leaders knew of salmonella contamination, failed to negate it and issued the tainted food anyway.

A salmonella lawyer eyes food poisoning’s “smoking gun”
When an outbreak of salmonella food poisoning struck thousands of Americans last fall, federal investigators spent months seeking the proverbial “smoking gun.” In short, they spent months trying to pinpoint the origin and responsibility of an onslaught which sickened and even killed.

Salmonella can kill, but in the U.S. it brings no death sentence

Peanut butter salmonella food poisoning spreads

So if you buy by the jar for your PB&J (that’s peanut butter and jelly to you non-believers in the ultimate comfort food), [...]
Salmonella food poisoning traced to tainted peanut butter
At least the tomato industry won’t take an unfair hit this time — but Americans are still at risk, due to another outbreak of salmonella food poisoning.
Unlike last fall’s outbreak which afflicted hundreds if not thousands of Americans (and finally was tracked to Mexican-grown Serrano peppers), this one has been traced quickly: to peanut butter [...]
Dog bite attacks spur dog bite lawsuits
Many dogs are friendly — even law-abiding. But many other dogs are aggressive – some of them so much so that they can kill. On Sunday in Chicago, three dogs — including two Rottweiler canines — attacked and killed a 4-year-old boy. Days earlier, a Rottweiler attacked and injured two small girls in nearby Joliet, [...]
Have a personal injury crisis amid crises? An Adler lawyer can help
The economy has staggered from doldrums to near-depression. New jobs are scarce and layoffs are scary. To say money is tight is to say day follows night. And while you’re defiantly not raising a white flag, harsh realities have you surrounded.
So how can it get worse? Easy. Take a traffic accident, medical device failure or [...]
