Business Partnership and Dissolution Issues

When a business, joint venture, or partnership breaks up, it is often as bad as a divorce. The former business partners typically know where all the assets of business are and feel that they are entitled to more than half. They also often know how to hit the emotional buttons of their former business partners and do so during negotiations and litigation. The battle for possession of clients, accounts, intellectual property, employees, and other assets can be fierce. All too often former business partners have to hire lawyers and accountants to collect their fair share of a business.

Asbestos Mesothelioma and Asbestos Cancer Lawsuits

Asbestos Mesothelioma and Asbestos Cancer Lawsuits

Exposure to Asbestos has been scientifically linked to several forms of asbestos cancer including mesothelioma. These asbestos cancers all too often result in a painful death for the person that was exposed to asbestos products. Despite knowledge of the dangers of asbestos products and negligent asbestos abatements, many corporations have sold and used asbestos products as well as many other corporations have failed to use proper asbestos abatement procedures to remove asbestos from buildings. Far too many businesses have made the decision that making more money through selling, using, or improperly removing asbestos products is more important than the health and lives of workers and there families.

It is in these instances where the law needs to step in and make businesses that sell dangerous asbestos products, manufacture dangerous asbestos products, or intentionally fail to adhere to proper asbestos abatement procedures.

Texas Motorcycle Accident Lawsuits

Austin Texas Motorcycle Accident Lawsuits and Insurance Claims

Austin and the Texas Hill County are beautiful places to ride your motorcycle. Every spring and summer tens of thousands of bikers ride through Austin and the Texas Hill Country enjoying their freedom, the scenic hill country, and the fun that is Austin, Texas. With Austin comes heavy traffic, many careless drivers, and many large vehicles that do not give bikers enough room and some that actually fail to see bikers and cause serious accidents. Unfortunately, many of these motorcycle accidents result in serious injuries to the person on the motorcycle.

Unfortunately, insurance companies do not always adequately compensate those injured in serious collisions or the families of persons killed by negligent drivers. They prefer to pay as little as possible on legitimate accident claims when they can get away with it. Many insurance companies will not offer reasonable compensation to the injured person or the family of a person wrongfully killed by an accident until a lawsuit is actually filed.

Whether the accident was caused by reckless driving, mechanical error, and/or alcohol, it is important to understand how insurance companies review claims including liability insurance, PIP, medical pay, uninsured, and underinsured motorist coverage as well as liability & damages including medical expenses, lost wages, future losses, impairment, disfigurement, pain and suffering and other damages.

It is hard to burn grain, but if you have a large pile of grain dust the small particles become more flammable.
