A report on the medical devices legislation
Patients’ health and safety should not be compromised because of the on-going questions surrounding the Food and Drug Administration and its oversight of medical devices. Recently, a hearing by the U.S. Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Health examining the regulation of medical devices took place only a week after another Medtronic device – 37,000 pacemakers – were recalled because the devices were found to seriously, even fatally, injure patients.

Serious eye injury case settled in Pike County
On January 16, 2008, Henry Jinright left Ken Cox Ford in Troy, Alabama where he was employed as a salesperson. As he was driving home on U.S. Highway 231 to Brundidge, to pick up his wife and attend church, Mr. Jinright was involved in a motor vehicle wreck. The wreck occurred within the city limits of Troy. A car, driven by an employee of Werner Enterprises, failed to yield the right-of-way, pulling in front of Mr. Jinright.

The single vehicle accident: a series highlighting often overlooked product claims
Three months ago, we began a series of articles discussing product liability claims that arise from single vehicle accidents. A product liability claim focuses on whether or not a product is defective. The purpose of this series is to educate our readers on the many different kinds of product liability claims. In automobile cases, the defective product could be the entire vehicle, or a component part such as the seat belt or tires. Unfortunately, the average motorist has no idea how unprotected he will be in an accident as a driver or passenger in a defective vehicle. Continue…
