Austin, TX (Law Firm Newswire) April 26, 2011 – Any head trauma sustained in a car accident has the potential to be devastating. Often the damage may cause life-long problems. “One of the most common injuries sustained in car accidents is traumatic brain injury. The skull is a tough nut to crack, but the brain inside is another story. If the force applied to the head is sufficient enough, the brain inside is knocked about like peas in a tin can. The brain then slams from one side to the other, hitting the skull and bruising. This, as you may [...]

Southfield, MI (Law Firm Newswire) April 25, 2011 – This bus accident was devastating for all those involved. Unfortunately, the experienced driver was killed on impact.

It was a typical California day and was slightly overcast, followed by periods of sun that melted the snow on the roads. The school bus was on its way to a planned retreat when the accident took place. “The bus was rounding a curve on wet pavement when the driver lost control and the bus swerved into the [...]

Miami, FL (Law Firm Newswire) April 25, 2011 – Bipartisan co-joining may just boost religion back into the immigration reform debate. In fact, perhaps the door to negotiations may be slowly swinging open once again. “Immigration reform has taken so many twists and turns lately, especially in the last four to five years, that many don’t really know where it stands any longer. All they can determine, based on what they see in Washington and read in the media, is that things are on stall and likely permanently. It comes as a large surprise that two influential politicians are now [...]

Cleveland, OH (Law Firm Newswire) April 22, 2011 – Giving birth is a dangerous thing to do. At any point during the process, medical malpractice may happen. “The parents who find out that their newborn has suffered brain damage at birth or shortly after being born are in deep shock. They went into hospital expecting a healthy baby. What they went home with was a brain damaged baby as a result of birth injuries,” said Christopher Mellino. Mellino is a Cleveland medical malpractice lawyer of the Mellino Law Firm LLC, in Ohio. Birth injuries do not always happen, but the [...]

Denver, CO (Law Firm Newswire) April 22, 2011 – Separated or divorcing couples should be overly cautious at tax time in April. Stories about a spouse signing blank 1040s and not even getting copies of a tax return increase this time of year and can have big consequences. Spouses who spite their other half oftentimes resort to conniving, damaging acts of retribution during tax time when they know the marriage is headed downhill. Each person must be mindful of assets and debts as they proceed to a divorce. Hiding or selling assets without permission can make proceedings ugly. And sometimes [...]

Austin, TX (Law Firm Newswire) April 21, 2011 – People like to think that when something bad happens to good people that there is justice at the end of the day. That is not always the case. “In this disturbing case, justice is missing. It has taken a hike and gone someplace else. And the victim? The victim is the one who will suffer for the greed of others and they inclination to turn a blind eye to human suffering,” said Robert W. Lee, an Austin personal injury lawyer of The Lee Law Firm in Austin, Texas. This story is [...]

Des Moines, IA (Law Firm Newswire) April 21, 2011 – People not eligible to file a Chapter 7 bankruptcy may be eligible for Chapter 13. The key lies in protecting non-exempt assets. “With the recent changes to the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act (2005), it got harder for people facing a serious debt load to qualify to file for bankruptcy, because their income is above the state median. Others opt to file under Chapter 13 to protect non-exempt assets from being sold by a trustee,” said Kevin Ahrenholz, an Iowa bankruptcy lawyer. For people opting to file bankruptcy [...]

Houston, TX (Law Firm Newswire) April 20, 2011 – H-3 visas can be a promising way for foreigners to get American training. The program allows foreigners to stay in the U.S. for a maximum of two years to train in any field except for graduate medical training. Once training is completed, the foreign national must go back to their home country. “Many individuals seek this type of visa because their home country doesn’t have this type of training,” said Houston immigration attorney Annie Banerjee. “Their careers will be boosted in their homeland after receiving the training.” H-3 can only be [...]

Austin, TX (Law Firm Newswire) April 19, 2011 – When fatal accidents happen at work, the family may want to file a wrongful death lawsuit. The day started out like any other workday for the 44-year-old Texas oil field worker. He got to work and started getting ready to get on with his day.

The 44-year-old man was trapped between the pipes and suffered injuries so severe that he died when he arrived [...]

Miami, FL (Law Firm Newswire) April 19, 2011 – It looks like old ground will be revisited in the ongoing debate over immigration reform. Indeed, politics does make strange bedfellows. “It appears that some interesting things are taking place in terms of political alliances over immigration reform,” said Larry S. Rifkin, managing partner at Rikfin & Fox-Isicoff, an immigration law firm with law offices in Miami, Florida and Orlando, Florida. “Chuck Schumer and Lindsey Graham have joined forces and are quietly working with an eclectic assortment of groups, conservative and liberal, to get support for their immigration reform proposals – [...]

Brandon, FL (Law Firm Newswire) April 18, 2011 – Divorces that go smoothly without lawyers and thorough negotiations can come back to haunt individuals many years later. Tampa family law attorney Laurel A. Tesmer recently had a new client come to her for legal guidance with a stressful situation. The client’s ex-spouse did not fill out the divorce paperwork correctly and did not pay the house mortgage, leaving her liable. “Time after time, we hear about sad events like this,” said Tesmer, who counsels clients at Osenton Law Offices, P.A. “If the paperwork is not filled out correctly, an individual [...]

Keene, NH (Law Firm Newswire) April 18, 2011 – Single vehicle accidents can be just as devastating as those involving more than one car. This case clearly demonstrates that point. “A group of seven people in this case were out for an evening cruise and for some unknown reason, the van driver lost control of the vehicle and got wedged tight in under a pedestrian bridge. The impact caused the vehicle to burst into flames and ejected one passenger through a window. That person ultimately had his arm amputated,” said Charlie Donahue, a New Hampshire personal injury lawyer located in [...]

Orange County, CA (Law Firm Newswire) April 15, 2011 – With the biggest wedding months of the year coming up, it is wise to get finances and important decisions spelled out in a prenuptial agreement. Some couples cringe at the word prenup, but an individual really needs to have the division of assets and debts defined should death or divorce ever happen. The prenup, also known as the premarital agreement, will describe how particular assets such as a home, business, or property will be owned. With couples who are getting married for the second time or more, or getting married [...]

Austin, TX (Law Firm Newswire) April 15, 2011 – Workplace accidents are usually the result of someone’s negligence. This case is no exception. “It’s disheartening to hear of accident on the job that results in the premature death of someone who had their whole life ahead of them. This case was disturbing in that a 30-year-old man was ground into an auger when he was working on it,” said Robert W. Lee, an Austin personal injury lawyer of The Lee Law Firm in Austin, Texas. The man was working on the auger, an underground affair for grinding up pistachios, when [...]

Los Angeles, CA (Law Firm Newswire) April 14, 2011 – The small print on a website seems hardly interesting, but the terms of service (“TOS”) agreement on a business’ home page is a must have to protect the business and its users. A recent incident on Electronic Arts’ Dragon Age 2 online message board is a great example of what a terms of service agreement can do. Electronic Arts bought Dragon Age 2’s creator, BioWare, in 2007, and now a gamer must open an online account with EA to play the game. One of them voluntarily wrote on the BioWare [...]
