Cobalt Fatal Crash Lawsuits and Cobalt Crash Death Lawsuits: Faulty Ingition Switches Have Caused Several Fatal Accidents By Cobalt Crash Lawyer and Saturn Ion Crash Lawyer Jason S. Coomer

Cobalt Fatal Crash Lawsuits and Cobalt Crash Death Lawsuits: Faulty Ingition Switches Have Caused Several Fatal Accidents By Cobalt Fatal Crash Lawyer and Cobalt Crash Death Lawyer Jason S. Coomer

Faulty ignition switches in Chevrolet Cobalts have resulted in a massive vehicle recall that includes over 1.6 million vehicles.  The faulty ignition switches in Cobalts and Saturn Ions have caused the vehicles' engines to shut off while the vehicle was in motion resulting in the loss of power-assisted steering and power brakes as well as causing the air bags not to inflate in a crash.  These malfunctions in heavy traffic or on high speed highways could often result in a fatal accident.  Further, as Cobalts and Saturn Ions were marketed to younger drivers, this loss of power-assisted steering and power brakes often caused younger drivers to panic and be overwhelmed by the extra effort needed to control the vehicle resulting in serious injury and fatal accidents.

As such, all fatal accidents involving Cobalts and Saturn Ions should be investigated or re-investigated to determine if the faulty ignition switches were the cause or a cause of the fatal accident.  For more information on Cobalt Fatal Crash Lawsuits , please go to the following web page:  Cobalt Fatal Crash Lawsuit and Cobalt Crash Death Lawsuit Information.

13 Deaths Have Already Been Linked to the Faulty Ignitions And Many More Are Expected

General Motors has linked 13 deaths to the faulty ignition problem, while other reports have linked the faulty ignitions to more than 25 deaths or more. As Cobalts were marketed to younger drivers most of the victims of these faulty vehicles were under age 25. Many of the victim were also women, who safety experts say are less likely to have the upper body strength to wrestle a stalled car safely to the side of the road.

For more news please go to the following reports: GM recall: Many victims were young drivers  Yahoo and General Motors Misled Grieving Families on a Lethal Flaw New York Times.

All Cobalt Fatal Automobile Accidents Should Be Investigated

Automobile accidents that result in someone's death should be properly investigated to determine what happened and to make sure that other people are not injured in similar fatal accidents.  In addition to the police investigation, insurance companies typically investigate fatal automobile accidents to determine and limit their liability in any fatal automobile accident claims that may arise out of a fatal accident.  Many times the insurance adjuster, trucking company representatives, or courier service representatives will be sent to a fatal accident site in attempt to protect the insurance company or business from liability.  The information obtained through these investigations as well as the police investigation can be extremely important in performing an independent investigation of the fatal accident.

It is also important that your lawyer is familiar with the accident scene as well as any investigations that have been done regarding the fatal automobile accident.  Texas fatal automobile accident lawyer, Jason Coomer, performs thorough investigations on the facts surrounding fatal automobile accident claims including obtaining driver background checks; reviewing trucking company & courier company investigations & records; inspecting the vehicles involved in the fatal accident; and going to the scene of the fatal automobile accident.  He feels it is important to thoroughly investigate every fatal automobile accident claim that he decides to handle.

International Probate Issues For Heirs and Beneficiaries Living Abroad 

For the family member that lives out of the country and has never been through the Texas probate process, it can often be challenging to understand what should be done under Texas probate law.  At a time when they want to grieve the loss of their loved one, they are often forced to deal with difficult issues including:

    1) Who should be in control of their loved ones' estate?
    2) What needs to be done to have an administrator or executor appointed?
    3) What are probate & non-probate property?
    4)  What should be done to protect estate property?
    5)  Is a Will necessary?
    6)  What can be done with Estate property?  Can it be sold or transferred?

When faced with these decisions, it is often helpful to speak with and hire a Texas international probate lawyer to help take care of probate issues.  A Texas international probate lawyer can help "out of country" family members through the probate process and help move an estate through probate.  Texas International Probate Lawyer, Jason Coomer, commonly works with out of state family, heirs, lawyers, and beneficiaries to guide them through the Texas probate process.  In doing so, he works to protect the wishes of loved ones that have passed on, the best interests of his clients, and to coordinate efforts with foreign co-counsel.

Pancreatic Cancer Lawyer: Diabetes Pancreatic Cancer Lawsuits Are Being Filed Against Drug Manufacturers by Pancreatic Cancer Lawyer Jason S. Coomer

Pancreatic Cancer Lawyer: Diabetes Drugs in the Incretin Mimetic Class May Cause An Increased Risk of Pancreatic Cancer

Pancreatic Cancer Lawsuits are being filed by diabetics that have been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and families of diabetics that have died from pancreatic cancer.  These lawsuits include persons that were taking diabetes drugs in the incretin mimetic class.  These incretin diabetes drugs include exenatide (Byetta, Bydureon), liraglutide (Victoza), sitagliptin (Januvia, Janumet, Janumet XR, Juvisync), saxagliptin (Onglyza, Kombiglyze XR), alogliptin (Nesina, Kazano, Oseni), and linagliptin (Tradjenta, Jentadueto). These drugs work by mimicking the incretin hormones that the body usually produces naturally to stimulate the release of insulin in response to a meal. They are used along with diet and exercise to lower blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes.  Many of these incretin diabetes drugs already include a black box warning regarding thyroid cancer risk, but evidence is growing that these drugs may also create an increased risk of pancreatic cancer.

People that are taking incretin diabetes drugs including: Januvia, Janument, Victoza, Byetta, Onglyza, Tradjenta,  Oseni, and other diabetes drugs should be aware of the cancer health risks. If you have been taking a diabetes drug and have been diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer or you have lost a loved one that was taking a diabetes drug and was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, please report the adverse action to the prescribing medical doctor and FDA as soon as possible.  Please also feel free to contact a pancreatic cancer lawyer regarding a potential pancreatic cancer lawsuit.

Januvia Pancreatic Cancer Lawsuits and Janumet Pancreatic Cancer Lawsuits

The diabetes drugs, Januvia and Janumet, may cause an increased risk of pancreatic cancer in patients using Januvia and Janumet.  If you have lost a loved one who was taking these drugs and they died from Pancreatic Cancer or have suffered acute pancreatitis, hemorrhagic pancreatitis, accute necrotizing pancreatitis, or pancreas cancer; and have been using Januvia, please report the adverse action to the prescribing medical doctor as soon as possible.  For more information on Januvia and Janumet Pancreatic Cancer Lawsuits, please go to the following web page on Januvia Pancreatic Cancer Lawsuit Information and Janumet Pancreatic Cancer Lawsuit Information.

Byetta Pancreatic Cancer Lawsuits and Byetta Thyroid Cancer Lawsuits

Byetta and other diabetes drugs have been linked to an increased risk of thyroid cancer and pancreatic cancer.  Persons taking diabetes drugs and medical providers that are prescribing diabetes drugs should be aware of thyroid cancer risks and pancreatic cancer risks as well as be aware of cancer detection protocols.  Early detection of cancer is essential to preventing the spread of cancer and important to surviving cancer.  Persons that have been taking diabetic drugs and have been diagnosed with thyroid cancer or pancreatic cancer should report the cancer to both their medical provider and the FDA.  Families of loved ones who took diabetes drugs and lost their lives to thyroid cancer or pancreatic cancer should also report the cancer to the FDA.

In addition to reporting thyroid cancer and pancreatic cancer caused by diabetes drugs, it is important that cancer survivors and families that have lost loved ones to diabetes drug cancers file lawsuits to prevent large drug companies from continuing to profit from selling dangerous drugs.  For more information on Byetta Pancreatic Cancer Lawsuits and Byetta Thyroid Cancer Lawsuits, please go to the following web page on Byetta Pancreatic Cancer Lawsuits and Exenatide Pancreatic Cancer Lawsuits.

Victoza Pancreatic Cancer Lawsuits

The consumer group, Public Citizen, has filed a petition with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requesting that the agency immediately remove the diabetes drug, Victoza, from the market because it puts patients at a higher risk of thyroid cancer, pancreatitis, serious allergic reactions and kidney failure that outweigh any documented clinical benefits.  Public Citizen claims that the diabetes drug, Victoza, has a number of possible side effects including pancreatic cancer. This side effect is extremely dangerous, because once a person has pancreatic cancer and that cancer spreads, a patient stands just a 1.8% chance of surviving for longer than five years.

If you have lost a loved one from Pancreatic Cancer or have suffered acute pancreatitis, hemorrhagic pancreatitis, accute necrotizing pancreatitis, or pancreas cancer; and have been using Victoza or another diabetes drug, please report the adverse action to the prescribing medical doctor as soon as possible.  For more Victoza Pancreatic Cancer Lawsuit, Victoza Cancer Death Lawsuit, or Diabetes Drug Pancreas Cancer Lawsuit information, please go to the following web page on Victoza Pancreatic Cancer Lawsuits and Victoza Cancer Death Lawsuits.

Diabetics and Thyroid Cancer: Some Diabetic Drugs Have Been Linked to An Increased Risk of Thyroid Cancer by Diabetes Thyroid Cancer Lawyer


Diabetics and Thyroid Cancer Health Alert: The Diabetes Drug Byetta Has Been Linked To An Increased Risk of Thyroid Cancer By Diabetes Thyroid Cancer Lawyer Jason S. Coomer

Each year an increasing number of people are newly diagnosed with thyroid cancer.  In 2012 there were more than 200,000 people newly diagnosed with thyroid cancer.  A growing number of people with thyroid cancer are diabetics.  One reason for the growing number of people with thyroid cancer and the increase of diabetics with thyroid cancer is that some diabetes drugs including Byetta cause an increase risk of thyroid cancer.  Diabetics and their health care provides should be aware of this health risk and make health care decisions with cancer risks in mind.

Diabetes Drug Cancer Lawsuits and Byetta Thyroid Cancer Lawsuits

Several Diabetes Drug Cancer Lawsuits are now being filed against drug manufacturers that intentionally hid known dangers of diabetic medications and/or failed to provide adequate warnings to consumers regarding cancer risks of diabetes medications.  For more information on these diabetes drug cancer lawsuits, please go to the following webpage: Diabetes Drug Cancer Lawsuits.

Individuals that have been diagnosed with thyroid cancer and have taken Byetta as well as families that have lost a loved one to thyroid cancer and that loved one was taking Byetta may be entitled to financial compensation and are strongly encouraged to have their potential case reviewed.  For more information on Byetta Thyroid Cancer Lawsuits and Byetta Pancreatic Cancer Lawsuits, please go to the following webpage Byetta Thyroid Cancer Lawsuits.


FDA Adverse Events Have Shown Byetta May Cause An Increased Risk of Thyroid Cancer and Pancreatic Cancer: Persons Taking Byetta That Have Been Diagnosed With Pancreatic Cancer or Thyroid Cancer as well as Their Doctors and Families Are Encouraged To Report Adverse Events To The FDA


In July 2011, researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles studied the connection between Byetta and pancreatic cancer, pancreatitis, and thyroid cancer by combing FDA adverse events reports. They calculated a sixfold increase in users developing pancreatitis, and Byetta increased the likelihood of pancreatic cancer by 2.9 times. The lead researcher, Dr. Peter Butler, cautioned that the results do not account for increased Byetta side effects reporting by doctors. The study appeared in the journal of Gastroenterology.

In 2009, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) published a Drug Safety Communication to announce that drug-makers Amylin Pharmaceuticals and Eli Lilly Co. must conduct 6 post-marketing surveillance studies to better understand the potential link between Byetta and thyroid cancer. The result of these studies are still pending.

Persons who are taking Byetta and who have been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer or thyroid cancer and their families are strongly encouraged to report adverse events to the FDA to ensure that all cancer risks are properly reviewed and placed on any future Byetta warnings.

Texas Wealth Transfer Lawyer: Helps Families Transfer Wealth Through Inheritance and Probate by Texas Wealth Transfer Lawyer

Texas Wealth Transfer Lawyer: Helps Families Transfer Wealth Through Inheritance and Probate by Texas Wealth Transfer Lawyer

Many families lose a vast amount of wealth when a loved one dies.  Family wealth can often be lost to the government, to corporations, or to opportunists.  Reasons for the loss of family wealth can include lack of knowledge regarding assets, lack of wealth to move assets, disputes between family members, delays after a loved one passes on, and lack of proximity to the loved one's estate.

Lack of Knowledge Can Often Result in the Loss of Family Wealth

In many instances, people are reluctant to share information concerning their finances with other people including family members.  Further, many people, especially elderly persons and persons dealing with significant health issues, will start to lose track of their assets and will not keep accurate records of all of their assets.  The tendency to keep finances private combined with inaccurate records can often cause assets to become lost.  Accurate records and sharing information to trusted people can often help prevent loss of family wealth.  Additionally, hiring a Texas Inheritance Lawyer can often help locate assets and transfer wealth after the death of a loved one.

Lack of Resources Can Often Result in the Loss of Family Wealth

In other instances, heirs and beneficiaries do not have sufficient wealth to move assets through the probate process.  This is particularly true when there is no valid will and many of the assets will need to be transferred through a suit to determine heirs. In these situations, the transfer of assets can cost several thousands of dollars and can cause wealth to become lost because heirs are not able to afford to transfer assets.  Often for more significant amounts of wealth including real property, a Texas Contingent Probate Lawyer can help transfer the wealth to rightful heirs and beneficiaries preventing the loss of family wealth.

 Inheritance Disputes and Contested Probate Matter Can Result in the Loss of Family Wealth

Wealth can also be lost when disputes over inheritance arise between potential heirs and beneficiaries.  In these situations, some heirs or beneficiaries cannot afford to go through a contested legal battle to claim their rightful inheritance.  However, in some instances a Texas Contingent Probate Lawyer can take a contested probate case on a contingent contract and help prevent the loss of family wealth.  In other situations, it is necessary to hire an experienced Texas Probate Litigation Lawyer on an hourly or hybrid contract to prevent wealth from being lost.

Delays and Lack of Proximity Can Often Result in the Loss of Family Wealth

The transfer of real estate, bank accounts, retirement funds, oil royalties, life insurance, and other wealth through probate can often be difficult for a grieving family to accomplish.  This is especially true when the family does not live in close proximity to their lost loved one.  In many of these instances, families will delay the transfer of this wealth and can often forget about some assets allowing the wealth to become lost.  In many situations, hiring a local Texas Probate Inheritance Lawyer and Texas Wealth Transfer Lawyer will help a family protect its wealth and limit the necessity for travel to Texas to handle probate issues.

Texas Wealth Transfer Lawyer Helps Families Transfer Wealth Through Probate

Texas Wealth Transfer Lawyer Jason Coomer handles Texas probate, estate, and inheritance matters.  He works with families including Texas families and out of state families on a variety of Texas probate, estate, and inheritance issues.  These issues commonly include probating Wills, contesting Wills, fighting will contests, clearing title to estate property, claiming estate property, filing suits to determine rightful heirs of estates, filing breach of fiduciary duty lawsuits, and representing estate administrators.  For more information, please feel free to contact Texas Inheritance Lawyer Jason S. Coomer.

Byetta Cancer Health Alert: Persons Taking Byetta and other Diabetes Drugs Should Be Aware of an Increased Risk of Cancer by Texas Byetta Cancer Lawyer Jason S. Coomer

Byetta Cancer Health Alert: Persons Taking Byetta and other Diabetes Drugs Should Be Aware of an Increased Risk of Cancer and Consult Their Physician Regarding Potential Thyroid Cancer and Pancreas Cancer Protocols by Texas Byetta Cancer Lawyer Jason S. Coomer

Byetta and other diabetes drugs have been linked to an increased risk of thyroid cancer and pancreatic cancer.  Persons taking diabetes drugs and medical providers that are prescribing diabetes drugs should be aware of thyroid cancer risks and pancreatic cancer risks as well as be aware of cancer detection protocols.  Early detection of cancer is essential to preventing the spread of cancer and important to surviving cancer.  Persons that have been taking diabetic drugs and have been diagnosed with thyroid cancer or pancreatic cancer should report the cancer to both their medical provider and the FDA.  Families of loved ones who took diabetes drugs and lost their lives to thyroid cancer or pancreatic cancer should also report the cancer to the FDA.

Pancreatic Cancer Including Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma and other Forms of Exocrine Pancreas Cancers Are Difficult to Diagnose and Are Often Not Diagnosed Until Late in the Course of the Disease
 
Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer death for both men and women and is one of the most deadly of all types of cancer. This year approximately 45,000 Americans will be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and about 38,000 will die from it.  One of the reasons that pancreatic cancer is so deadly is that it it difficult to diagnose and the diagnosis is often made late in the course of the disease.  Early detection of pancreatic cancer is essential and will greatly improve a person's chances of surviving the disease. As such, people that have taken diabetes drugs, especially those with symptoms of weight loss, dark urine and clay-colored stools, back pain, and jaundice, should seek advice from a qualified medical professional as to if they may have pancreatic cancer and what symptoms they should be aware of to detect any early onset of pancreatic cancer.

Symptoms of pancreatic cancer can include: dark urine and clay-colored stools, fatigue and weakness, jaundice (a yellow color in the skin, mucus membranes, or eyes), loss of appetite and weight loss, nausea and vomiting, pain or discomfort in the upper part of the belly or abdomen, back pain, blood clots, diarrhea, and indigestion.

Pancreatic cancer is often not detected early on and is often advanced when it is first found.  As such, ninety-five percent of the people diagnosed with this cancer will not be alive 5 years later.  Some patients have pancreatic cancer that can be surgically removed are cured. However, in more than 80% of patients the tumor has already spread and cannot be completely removed at the time of diagnosis.  In the few cases where pancreatic tumors can be removed by surgery. The standard surgical procedure to remove pancreatic tumors is called a Whipple procedure (pancreatoduodenectomy or pancreaticoduodenectomy). This surgery should be done by an experienced surgeon and at a medical center that performs the procedure often. Some studies suggest that the Whipple procedure is best performed at hospitals that do more than five of these surgeries per year.

When the tumor has not spread out of the pancreas, but cannot be removed, radiation therapy and chemotherapy together may be recommended. When the tumor has spread (metastasized) to other organs such as the liver, chemotherapy alone is usually used. The standard chemotherapy drug is gemcitabine, but other drugs may be used. Gemcitabine can help about 25% of patients.

Patients whose tumor cannot be totally removed, but who have a blockage of the tubes that transport bile (biliary obstruction) must have that blockage relieved. There are two approaches including surgery and placement of a tiny metal tube (biliary stent) during ERCP.

Managing pain and other symptoms is an important part of treating advanced pancreatic cancer. Palliative care tams and hospice can help with pain and symptom management, and provide psychological support for patients and their families during the illness. 

Thyroid Cancer Information and Thyroid Cancer Symptoms
 
More than 200,000 people were newly diagnosed with thyroid cancer in 2012.  Recent scientific studies have shown that some of these people may have gotten thyroid cancer from taking a diabetes drug.  One such diabetes drug is Byetta.  Recent studies have shown that Byetta increases the risk of thyroid cancer.  Further, many lawsuits are currently being filed alleging that the maker of Byetta failed to provide adequate warnings to consumers and the medical community regarding this risk of thyroid cancer.

Thyroid cancer occurs in the cells of the thyroid.  The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland located at the base of your neck, just below your Adam's apple. Your thyroid produces hormones that regulate your heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature and weight. Thyroid cancer is the most common endocrine cancer. It is a malignant tumor or growth originating within the thyroid gland, also called thyroid carcinoma.

The prognosis for any individual with thyroid cancer depends on several factors. These include the type of thyroid cancer, the tumor size, whether the disease has spread (metastasized) to other parts of the body (especially distant sites), and the patients’ age at the time of diagnosis. Thyroid cancer is usually highly treatable when found early and is usually painless and without symptoms in its early stages. Unless there is an obvious neck mass that can be seen, most nodules are detected by chance during a routine physical examination or during a doctor visit for an unrelated purpose.

Some thyroid cancer symptoms include:

    Hoarseness that has no known cause and does not go away

    Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath

    Difficulty swallowing or an unusual sensation (a “lump”) when swallowing

    Nodule (lump) or growth in the neck

    An abnormally large lymph node (a “swollen gland”)that fails to spontaneously shrink over a few months' time

Coomer, for a free case review of a Diabetes Drug Cancer Lawsuit.

Texas Hospital Death Lawyer: Deadly Mistakes In Hospitals Can Be The Basis of Medical Malpractice Lawsuits By Texas Hospital Death Lawyer Jason S. Coomer

Texas Hospital Death Lawyer: Deadly Mistakes In Hospitals Can Be The Basis of Medical Malpractice Lawsuits By Texas Hospital Death Lawyer Jason S. Coomer

Some hospitals have become extremely dangerous places to be.  Overworked staff and faulty equipment can often cause deadly mistakes that can result in the death of a loved one.  Anyone that is going into a hospital should research which hospital provides the best case and have someone help look after them while they are heavily medicated and/or unconscious in the hospital.   

Families that have lost a loved one from a deadly hospital mistake or careless physician should obtain their loved one's medical records and make sure a proper investigation is made of the hospital mistake. A proper investigation of a deadly hospital mistake and filing a fatal medical malpractice lawsuit can often ensure that a hospital corrects faulty policies to help avoid future fatal mistakes. For more information on Texas hospital death lawsuits, military hospital death lawsuits, and other hospital death lawsuits, please follow the hyperlinks on this post.

If you need a Texas Hospital Death Lawyer with knowledge of Federal Hospital Death Lawsuits and Texas Hospital Death Lawsuits, please feel free to contact Fatal Mistake Medical Malpractice Lawyer, Jason S. Coomer.

Communication With Doctors and Nurses Can Often Help Prevent Some Deadly Mistakes

Unfortunately, medical mistakes happen when doctors and nurses get too busy, are understaffed, are under the influence of drugs, or are just not paying attention.  As medical budgets go down and healing people becomes more of a for profit business, cost cutting measures are causing more medical mistakes.  Overworked doctors, residents, and nurses are much more likely to make mistakes than well rested health care professionals.

Medical mistakes also happen more often when no one is watching.  It is extremely important when you are in the hospital to have someone that is with you and watching out for your well being.  This is especially true if you have an allergy to certain types of medicines.  Communication with your health care professionals is also important and can greatly limit medical mistakes.



International Business Bribes and the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act By SEC Bounty Reward Lawer Jason Coomer

Persons That Properly Expose International Business Bribes Can Receive Large Financial Rewards: Persons With Knowledge of International Business Bribes to Public Officials Are Encouraged To Have Their Case Confidentially Reviewed and Submitted by an International Bounty Action Reward Lawyer

Texas Construction Fall Lawyer: Construction Falls Are a Leading Cause of Fatal Work Place Accidents by Texas Construction Fall Lawyer Jason S. Coomer

Texas Construction Fall Lawyer: Defective Scaffolding, Lack of Proper Safety Equipment, and Negligent Construction Site Safety Managers Are All Potential Causes of Fatal Construction Site Accidents by Texas Construction Fall Lawyer Jason S. Coomer

Texas has a multi-billion dollar construction industry that has been able to shift many laws against injured workers and the families of workers that have been killed in construction site accidents.  As such, instead of improving safety on construction sites, many general contractors are cutting corners on construction safety, destroying evidence of inadequate safety, and using legal technicalities to fight having to compensate injured workers and grieving families.  By hiring a Texas serious fall lawyer, Texas construction equipment accident lawyer, or Texas accident death lawyer, to investigate a fatal construction accident or serious injury accident, a family can often determine what potential compensation may be available under Texas law and avoid many of the legal traps that have been created by the construction industry.

Serious Injury and Fatal Construction Falls Can Be Caused by Defective Scaffolding, Lack of Proper Safety Equipment, and Negligent Construction Site Safety Managers


An increasing number of construction workers are being seriously injured and/or killed by construction falls caused by defective scaffolding, lack of proper safety equipment, and negligent construction site safety managers.  The families of construction workers who are seriously injured or killed at a construction site should make sure that the construction accident is timely and properly investigated to make sure that the negligence does not occur again and that the responsible parties are thoroughly investigated and made to pay any and all compensation that is required under Texas law.  Many of these claims have a two year statute of limitations, but it is important for the family to begin the investigation as soon as possible to prevent the general contractor, insurance adjusters, or others from destroying or removing important evidence.

OSHA Has Been Gutted Over The Last 16 Years and Often Does Not Have The Resources To Fully Investigate Construction Work Place Deaths

Since the creation of OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) in 1970, the number of work place deaths and serious injuries have decreased.  However, over the last 16 years OSHA has been gutted and safety has been put on the back burner.  In many situations, OSHA has actually started blaming workers instead of employers for on the job deaths.  They have changed how work place deaths are tabulated and have allowed work places all over the United States to become more dangerous.  They also do very limited investigations after a death compared to the OSHA of the past.

Under the guise of limiting red tape and regulations, OSHA no longer protects workers and ensures that work places are safe as they did in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s.  As such, it has fallen on work place accidental death lawyers and the families of those wrongfully killed, to investigate work place accidents and employer negligence that have killed employees.
