April 21, 2015 By Staff - s.r. Leave a Comment

Transvaginal mesh has become a nightmare for thousands of women who have suffered severe adverse effects involving erosion and migration of the mesh along with perforation of organs from it. Surgical mesh was designed over 60 years ago for repairing hernias. It's a woven material made of synthetic or biological materials that usually comes in a prepackaged kit along with tools to aid in the surgical procedure. Because mesh was widely successful in the treatment of hernias, surgeons began using it in other parts of the body that needed support. About 20 years later they began inserting it … [Read more...]

Texas Supreme Court Ends Bad Faith Claims for Workers

June 25, 2012 By admin Leave a Comment

Texas Workers Compensation claimants took a big hit Friday when the Texas Supreme Court handed down a 5-4 decision in Texas Mutual Insurance Co. v. Timothy J. Ruttiger.   The Court held that Workers Comp claimants cannot seek damages for bad faith denials of claims outside the administrative Workers Comp regulatory framework. Justice Willett's concurring opinion writes: "The continued existence of bad-faith claims will subvert the Legislature's meticulous soup-to-nuts system, one augmented by an immense regulatory and adjudicatory framework that, taken together, now regulates virtually … [Read more...]

Victory for Big Pharma: Texas Adopts “Learned Intermediary” Rule

June 19, 2012 By admin Leave a Comment

Big Pharma had a major victory on June 8th, when the Texas Supreme Court handed down its ruling in Centocor, Inc. v. Hamilton.  The Court held that "When a drug manufacturer properly warns a prescribing physician of the dangerous propensities of its product, the manufacturer is excused from warning each patient who receives the drug. The doctor stands as a learned intermediary between the manufacturer and the ultimate consumer."  Further, "A prescription drug manufacturer fulfills its duty to warn end users of its product's risks by providing adequate warnings to the intermediaries who … [Read more...]

Deion and Pilar Sanders’ Divorce Illustrates the High Price of Animosity and the Great Deal we get through Settlement

May 30, 2012 By admin Leave a Comment

Several sources have reported that Deion Sanders has been ordered to pay over $10,500 in child support and $3,500 mortgage payments.  The shocking part is that he’s been ordered to pay over a quarter million in attorney fees incurred just since April 30, 2012.  In three weeks of attorney fees these parties blew what most of my clients will not earn in a year.  There has, perhaps, never been a clearer example of the high price of contempt and animosity in a family law case.  If you do the math, Deion could pay support for his children for 18 months at the rate his wife’s attorneys are charging … [Read more...]
