Corruption in Brazil Including Bribes Can Be The Basis for Large Whistleblower Bounty Action Rewards

Corruption in Brazil Including Petrobras Bribes, Construction Bribes, and Olympic Bribes Can Be The Basis for Large Whistleblower Bounty Action Rewards by International Corruption Lawyer Jason S. Coomer

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is offering large financial rewards to persons with original information of securities fraud and bribery of foreign officials.  The "original information" needs to be information about significant fraud or corruption that is not public knowledge.  Persons with original information can confidentially report significant fraud or other corruption through a bounty action lawyer.  If the original information leads to an SEC action, the whistleblower can receive a portion of the money recovered from the violator as a reward.

A key issue in reviewing any potential whistleblower reward case will be the nexus between the fraud or corruption to the United States.  Examples of cases that may have a significant nexus to merit a large reward include contract bribes for oil, construction, or offshore drilling paid to Brazilian government officials by a U.S. or foreign company listed on the U.S. securities exchanges.

 The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act Prohibits Corruption

The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and other Anti-Bribery laws prohibit bribes by multinational corporations to foreign officials to obtain lucrative contracts.  These laws can result in significant SEC actions of billions of dollars.  The SEC is working with people from countries throughout the world including Brazil, South America, Central America, and North America.

Confidential Bribe Whistleblowers that properly report these illegal contract bribes, kickbacks, and other corrupt practices may recover large rewards for exposing corrupt practices committed by multinational corporation.  For more information, please go to the following web page: International Whistleblowers & Foreign Corrupt Practices Act Information Center.

Texas Oil Truck Driver Accident Lawsuit Information: Fatal Oil Truck Accidents Are on The Rise by Texas Oil Truck Driver Accident Lawyer Jason S. Coomer

Texas Oil Truck Driver Accident Lawsuit Information: Many Oil Companies, Trucking Companies, and Oilfield Supply & Equipment Companies Are Ignoring Safety and Causing Texas Oil Truck Driver Fatal Accidents and Serious Injury Accidents by Texas Oil Truck Driver Accident Lawyer Jason S. Coomer

Several oil companies, oilfield related companies, and trucking companies are sacrificing safety to increase profits.  As such, Texas are seeing large oil trucks, pipe trucks, oil drilling mud trucks, and other oil industry trucks speeding down Texas roads by overworked and under trained drivers.  Some of these trucks when they collide with passenger vehicles are causing fatal accidents and catastrophic injury accidents.

Families that have lost a loved one to these vehicles should be aware of several potential causes of action that they have against large corporations and their insurance companies.  These families should also make sure to have a thorough investigation done of the fatal or catastrophic injury accident.  For more information on Truck Wreck Investigations, Texas Oil Truck Driver Accident Lawsuits, and Texas Fatal Accident Causes of Action, please go to the following web pages: The Truck Collision and 18-Wheeler Information and Investigation Center, Texas Oil Truck Driver Accident Lawsuit Information, and Texas Wrongful Death and Survival Actions.

These Fatal Oil Company Truck Accidents Should Be Investigated by Experienced Texas Oil Company Truck Wreck Lawyers to Determine the Cause of The Accident and Prevent Future Similar Accidents

According to the National Center for Statistics and Analysis, thousands of motorists are killed each year by commercial vehicles. Commercial vehicles including oil trucks, oil equipment trucks, and oil supply trucks are too often driven by under trained, inexperienced, and over worked drivers that are under pressure to drive fast as well as keep maintenance costs down.  These factors combined with old roads, country roads, farm roads, heavy traffic, and road construction or potential driver distractions such as cell phones, GPS devices, food, drinks, and texting can cause fatal automobile accidents.

Whether a driver is driving a large commercial vehicle such as a oil pipe truck, oil mud truck, oil equipment truck, company van, oil company 18-wheeler, dump truck, propane truck, garbage truck, construction truck, semi-trucks, tractor-trailer, utility truck, hauling truck, or other commercial vehicle, it is important that the driver be trained to operate the commercial vehicle and have their driving record reviewed for accidents as well as drunk driving convictions.  It is also important that these drivers are not overworked, that their vehicles are safe, and that the companies follow safety rules.  For more information on serious injury and fatal accident investigations, please feel free to contact Texas Oil Truck Driver Accident Lawyer Jason S. Coomer.

International Drug Company Bribes: Large Financial Rewards Are Being Offered to People That Expose Drug Company Bribes to Public Officials

International Drug Company Bribes: Large Financial Rewards Are Being Offered to People That Expose Drug Company Bribes to Public Officials by International Whistleblower Reward Lawyer Jason S. Coomer

The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) prohibits bribery of foreign officials by U.S. and foreign companies listed on the U.S. securities exchange.  These prohibitions include large drug companies that are paying bribes to doctors, health care administrators, and other government officials to sell drugs and obtain large procurement contracts in China, Russia, and other pharmerging countries. 

Foreign Corrupt Practices Act Whistleblowers that properly report violations of the FCPA by a U.S. or foreign company listed on the U.S. securities exchanges can recover a large reward for exposing FCPA violations.  These whistleblowers can expose bribery schemes through a lawyer and protect their identify. 

For more information on Exposing Drug Company Bribes, please go to the following website: International Whistleblower Rewards. 

Between $100 Billion to $200 Billion in Corrupt Drug Procurement Contracts Are Obtained Each Year Through Fraud and Corruption

Every year over $4.1 trillion (US dollars) is spent worldwide on health services including approximately $800 billion (US dollars) that is spent in the pharmaceutical market on drugs and medications. It is estimated that approximately 10 to 25% of public health care procurement spending including drug contracts, medicines, pharmaceuticals, medical equipment, and medical devices is lost to corrupt and fraudulent acts.  These acts include government official bribes, illegal kickbacks, and other illicit payment and fraud schemes.

The World Health Organization (WHO) defines the term "medicines chain" to be the steps that are required for the creation, regulation, management and consumption of pharmaceuticals.  In other words it is the medication supply chain in the pharmaceutical industry from creation to end user. According to the World Health Organization, corruption is common in the international pharmaceutical sector and occurs throughout all stages of the medicines supply chain, from research and development to dispensing and promotion.  These unethical and corrupt practices in the medicines supply chain can take many forms such as falsification of evidence, false certification of adulterated drugs, import false certifications, export false certifications, conflicts of interest, and illegal bribe and kickback schemes.

As such, the World Health Organization and many other international public health organizations are seeking public policy changes under the umbrella of good governance initiatives within the medicines chain to reduce government corruption and optimize public health outcomes.  Some proposed public policy changes that can help reduce corruption and fraud in the pharmaceutical medicines chain include: 1) protection of international medicines supply chain whistleblowers; 2) offering financial incentives to international medicines chain whistleblowers; 3) passage of legislation and regulation for drug quality control and official certifications to monitor the transport of medications including the export and import of medicines throughout world and along international medicines supply chains; 4) increased enforcement mechanisms for violations of existing pharmaceutical laws and regulations; and 5) increased resources for conflict of interest management and checks to ensure key people in the medicines chain are not accepting illegal bribes, kickbacks, and other illicit payments.

In response to these good governance initiatives, the international community including the United States, United Kingdom, and many other countries have enacted new anti-bribery and anti corruption laws that will enable persons with knowledge of international medicines supply chain fraud and corruption to expose the illegal acts and reap rewards from blowing the whistle, while being protected from potential retaliation from the wrong doers.

While there are an increasing number of reported cases of corruption in the medicines chain, much unethical practice has historically gone unreported.  This is changing as new whistleblower protections and whistleblower financial incentives are coming into place to help overcome  institutionalized corruption in the pharmaceutical medicines chain and to provide protection for courageous whistleblowers that want to change the institutionalized corruption that is damaging their countries.

Because medicines typically change hands several times in the medicines chain between the drug manufacturer and patients, the large number of steps in the medicines chain allows numerous opportunities for unethical practices to take place.  Therefore increased regulations and laws throughout the medicines chain including manufacturing quality assurances, export regulations and inspections, import regulations and inspections, health care provider regulations and inventory policies, and patient protections are needed.  Fortunately, the new international whistleblower laws will allow international whistleblowers with specialized knowledge of the corruption to blow the whistle on fraud, false certifications, and illicit payments that are occurring throughout the medicines chain.   

A lack of transparency and accountability within the medicines chain can also contribute to unethical practices and corruption.  Therefore increased enforcement mechanisms are needed for violations of existing pharmaceutical laws and regulations.  These enforcement mechanisms include "SEC Bounty Actions" that allow private citizens to work through international medicines supply chain whistleblower reward lawyers to expose significant fraud and obtain large bounties for successful prosecution of pharmaceutical illicit payment schemes.  Ideally, these international medicines supply chain whistleblower reward actions will track fraud and corruption to the root causes and help reform corporate corruption of public health care systems.  Through international pharmaceutical representative whistleblowers, international drug executive whistleblowers, foreign government official whistleblowers, health care provider whistleblowers, and other medicines supply chain whistleblowers, the international community can efficiently identify, expose, and remedy medicines chain corruption.

SEC Whistleblower Bounty Actions Are Designed to Encourage Persons With Knowledge of Investment Fraud and Significant SEC Violations To Confidentially Expose the Fraud By Offering Large Financial Rewards For People That Are The Original Source of Information That Expose The Fraud

SEC Fraud Whistleblower Lawsuits or SEC Bounty Actions are a product of the enactment of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.  These laws were designed to create bounties that can be collected by whistleblowers that properly report SEC violations, financial fraud, securities fraud, commodities fraud, and stimulus fraud that result in monetary sanctions over one million dollars ($1,000,000.00).  The SEC can award the whistleblower up to 30% of the money collected.

Persons that report this fraud through an attorney can remain anonymous and still collect a large reward through their attorney.  By creating anonymous whistleblower bounties, the SEC expects investors and people with specific information of fraud to expose hard to detect fraud and to help regulate the financial market and prevent large investment corporations, banks, hedge funds, and other large corporations from committing financial fraud of billions of dollars.  For more information, please feel free to contact Bounty Action Lawyer Jason S.

St Jude Spinal Stimulators: St. Jude Eon Stimulators and Medtronic Stimulators May Malfunction by Defective Spinal Stimulator Lawyer Jason S. Coomer

St Jude Spinal Stimulators: Implantable Neurostimulation Systems Including St. Jude Eon and Eon Mini Spinal Stimulators May Malfunction Causing People with the Devices to Experience a Continuous Shock and Extreme Pain or Require Removal Through Surgery by Defective Spinal Stimulator Lawyer Jason S. Coomer

Defective Implantable Neurostimulation Systems have caused many people to suffer severe shocks, severe pain, and other significant health problems. Persons with or thinking about receiving a St. Jude spinal stimulator or Medtronic stimulator should speak with their health care provider about the potential health risks of having a spinal stimulator implanted in them as well as make sure that the device is being used for an FDA approved indication.

Persons that have experienced severe shocks, malfunctioning batteries, and other problems with an implanted spinal stimulator, should consult their health care provider and make sure that any adverse health events from the implanted spinal stimulator are reported to the FDA. For more information on defective spinal stimulator lawsuits, please go to the following web page: St. Jude Spinal Stimulator  Lawsuit Information or please feel free to send an e-mail to Defective Spinal Stimulator Lawyer Jason Coomer.

FDA Action on Spinal Stimulators

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) issues warning letters when it finds certain problems that it wants a company to fix.  In a letter dated July 17, 2012, the FDA issued a warning letter related to Medtronic’s process for handling complaints and stated that regulatory action might ensue should the manufacturer fail to address the agency’s request to take action. The FDA also issued a warning letter to St. Jude Medical, resulting in the company’s announcement that there were weld failures present within the internal batteries of their units. Physicians and Patients who may have been implanted with defective stimulators are being notified individually by St. Jude Medical. Since the problem surfaced in 2011, over 300 heat-related complaints have been filed on behalf of carriers of defective units and several lawsuits have been filed. The failure of a stimulator to operate correctly has had many effects on our clients. At a minimum, defective devices expose clients to the very pain the devices are supposed to relieve. In addition to increased pain, other symptoms our clients have reported experiencing include:

• Severe irritation and  burning at the battery site
• An inability to control the stimulator (resulting in unwelcome jolts, pain, or temporary paralysis)
• Severe burns while recharging the battery
• Premature battery depletion
• Bladder problems
• Increased numbness
• Lead migration and broken anchors
• Partial paralysis

In most cases, when a stimulator is found to be defective it must be removed. This surgery can be both costly and cause its own complications. Not only is there always a risk of infection with every surgery, but because the removal of a stimulator requires navigating delicate nerves in the spine, it is possible that nerves can be nicked or otherwise damages during the procedure leading to symptoms such as weakness, pain, or numbness in the body. In some cases, removal of the simulator can result in a leakage of spinal fluid from the epidural space, leading to severe and long-lasting headaches or feelings of fatigue which may heal on its own or may require its own surgery to repair.

Spinal Stimulator Lawsuit Information

In reviewing potential failed back surgery implant lawsuits, it is important to obtain copies of your medical records and to determine if the implantable neurostimulation system was properly implanted by the spinal surgeon or if the spinal stimulator was defective.  If the spinal stimulator was defective and has/had to be removed, it is important that the defective device is kept as potential evidence.  For more information on this topic, please feel free to go to the following web page, Failed Back Surgery and Defective Implantable Neurostimulation System Lawsuits  or please feel free to send an e-mail to Defective Spinal Stimulator Lawyer Jason Coomer.

West Texas Truck Wreck Lawsuit Information: Preservation of Evidence Is A Key to A Successful West Texas Truck Wreck Lawsuit by Texas Truck Wreck Lawyer Jason Coomer

West Texas Truck Wreck Lawsuit Information: Investigation of The Accident Scene and Review of Evidence Are Keys to Successfully Litigating A West Texas Truck Wreck Lawsuit by Texas Truck Wreck Lawyer Jason S. Coomer

After a truck wreck, an efficient and effective investigation can create advantages in the preservation of key evidence and information that can win a large verdict in a law suit or result in an early and large settlement of an insurance claim.  For this reason, it is important to have professionals working for you that understand how to investigate a serious accident and preserve key evidence that can prove liability or damages.  For more information on investigating West Texas Truck Wreck Lawsuits and other Texas Truck Wreck Lawsuits, please go to the following web page: Texas Truck Wreck Lawsuit Investigation Information.

Investigation at the Scene of the Accident

Immediately after an accident, the trucking company and their insurance company are typically in route to the accident scene to collect evidence that will help them avoid paying or limit the amount that they pay for any deaths or injuries that were caused by the accident.  These individuals will be taking photos and video of key evidence that will help absolve their client of liability as well as attempting to take recorded statements of key witnesses in an attempt to lock in crucial testimony from witnesses.

Even though law enforcement professionals also investigate serious wrecks, their primary purposes at the accident scene is to get people to safety, protect people from other traffic, and to clear the accident scene for traffic to resume to move and flow.  Sometimes these law enforcement professionals do an excellent job of accident investigation and can easily determine the cause of the collision or accident.  At other times, they do incomplete interviews; accept the story of one or more biased witnesses; are influenced by the trucking company or insurance company's representatives; or are too busy getting the survivors of the collision to safety, clearing the debris & vehicles, dealing with tow truck drivers, and directing traffic to properly investigate the scene of an accident.   

If possible, it is typically useful to have your own experienced accident investigator at the scene of the accident to observe the accident scene; take photographs and video of the debris, vehicles, & skid marks; and make a list of all potential witnesses with contact information.  Whether this person is a family member, friend, truck accident lawyer, off duty police officer, or other competent person that you can trust, it is often important to have someone that can properly investigate the accident scene as close to the time of the accident as possible. For the experienced accident investigator, it is useful to have working cameras, measuring tape, a reflective vest, business cards, tape recorder, and a note book or device to take names, addresses and other information.

The experienced accident investigator will carefully search for not only obvious skid marks, drop offs, crush damage, and contact points, but also for inconspicuous clues such as damage to all vehicles, damage to guard rails, scuffs, scratches, and dried liquids.  Carefully documenting and measuring this crucial evidence can be extremely important in proving liability in a fatal collision or catastrophic injury accident case.   

Like preserving wreckage and data recorders, it is important to make sure that crucial documents are preserved and obtained from all vehicle owners and drivers involved in the collision.  Documents including key maintenance records, driver logs, communications with drivers, delivery schedules, driving records, police reports, witness statements, photographs, driver safety training materials, truck owner's and operator's manual, accident investigations, and medical records can all provide crucial information regarding the cause of a truck collision.

Therefore, after a fatal accident or catastrophic injury accident, a preservation letter is often needed to preserve crucial documents that can prove fault in a truck accident or commercial vehicle collision.  A letter/notice should have language regarding spoliation of evidence and instruct the potentially at fault parties to preserve all relevant documents and information concerning the accident

Diabetes Drug Cancer Risk Lawyer: Several Diabetes Drugs Have Been Linked to an Increased Risk of Cancer by Diabetes Drug Cancer Lawyer Jason S. Coomer

Several diabetes drugs have been linked to an increased risk of cancer including pancreatic cancer, thyroid cancer, and bladder cancer.  People taking diabetic medications should be aware of this increased cancer risk and discuss the cancer risk of any diabetic medications that they are taking with their medical provider.  Further, anyone that has been diagnosed with cancer after taking diabetic medications should report the cancer diagnosis to their physician and the FDA.

Drug Manufacturers Fail to Warn of Increased Cancer Risk

Despite being aware of the increased risk of cancer, some drug manufacturers have failed to warn about potential cancer risks.  In fact, some of the drug manufacturers have intentional hid cancer risks to increase sales of their diabetes drugs.  These drug manufacturers have determined that keeping their market share of the $50 billion dollar per year diabetic drug market is more important than warning diabetics and their physicians about the risk of cancer.

Diabetes Drug Cancer Lawsuits

Several Diabetes Drug Cancer Lawsuits have been filed.  More specifically, the following diabetes drug cases are being reviewed: Actos, Januvia, Janument, Victoza, Byetta, Onglyza, Tradjenta, Bydureon, and Oseni.  If you have been taking a diabetes drug and have been diagnosed with cancer or you have lost a loved one that was taking a diabetes drug and that loved one was diagnosed with cancer, please feel free to contact Diabetes Drug Cancer Lawyer Jason S. Coomer.  

Pancreatic Cancer Detection: Understanding and Identifying Symptoms of Pancreatic Cancer Can Be Important In Early Detection and Treatment of Pancreatic Cancer Resulting in Higher Pancreatic Cancer Survival Rates

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.

Bladder Cancer Detection and Symptoms

Bladder cancers are classified, or staged, based on their aggressiveness and how much they differ from the surrounding bladder tissue. There are several different ways to stage tumors. Recently, the TNM (Tumor, Nodes, Metastasis) staging system has become common. This staging system categorizes tumors using the following scale:

Stage 0 -- Noninvasive tumors that are only in the bladder lining

Stage I -- Tumor goes through the bladder lining, but does not reach the muscle layer of the bladder

Stage II -- Tumor goes into the muscle layer of the bladder

Stage III -- Tumor goes past the muscle layer into tissue surrounding the bladder

Stage IV -- Tumor has spread to neighboring lymph nodes or to distant sites (metastatic disease)

Bladder cancer can metastasize or spread by extending into the nearby organs or through the lymph nodes.  It can spread into the Prostate, Rectum, Ureters, Uterus, Vagina, Bones, Liver, and Lungs.

Bladder cancer can manifest through many different symptoms.  Most of these symptoms can also occur with non-cancerous conditions. However, if you have these symptoms and a suspect bladder cancer, it is important to get evaluated by a qualified medical doctor to determine, if you may have bladder cancer.  Some of these symptoms include: 1) Blood in the urine, 2) Painful urination, 3) Urinary frequency, 4) Urinary urgency, 5) Abdominal pain, 6) Anemia, 7) Bone pain or tenderness, 8) Lethargy or fatigue, 9) Urinary incontinence, and 10) Weight loss.

Testing for bladder cancer can include performing 1) a physical examination, including a rectal and pelvic exam, 2) Abdominal CT scan, 3) Bladder biopsy (usually performed during cystoscopy), 4) Cystoscopy (examining the inside of the bladder with a camera), 5) Intravenous pyelogram - IVP, 6) Urinalysis, and 7) Urine cytology.

There are several types of treatment for bladder cancer.  The selection of treatment for bladder cancer will vary depending on the patient, health care provider, and stage of bladder cancer. In Stages 0 and I, surgery is usually performed to remove the tumor without removing the rest of the bladder.  Also, chemotherapy or immunotherapy can be applied directly into the bladder.  People with stage 0 or I bladder cancer can be treated with transurethral resection of the bladder (TURB). This surgical procedure is performed under general or spinal anesthesia. A cutting instrument is inserted through the urethra to remove the bladder tumor.

In Stages II and III treatment, chemotherapy can be used to shrink the tumor before surgery, then surgery can be performed to remove the entire bladder (radical cystectomy) or surgery can be performed to remove only part of the bladder, followed by radiation and chemotherapy.  For bladder cancer patients that cannot have surgery or choose not to have surgery, a combination of chemotherapy and radiation can be used.

Many people with stage II or III bladder cancer may need to have their bladder removed (radical cystectomy). Partial bladder removal may be performed in some patients. Removal of part of the bladder is usually followed by radiation therapy and chemotherapy to help decrease the chances of the cancer returning. Patients who have the entire bladder removed will receive chemotherapy after surgery to decrease the risk of the cancer coming back.

Radical cystectomy in men usually involves removing the bladder, prostate, and seminal vesicles. In women, the urethra, uterus, and the front wall of the vagina are removed along with the bladder. Often, the pelvic lymph nodes are also removed during the surgery to be examined in the laboratory.

A urinary diversion surgery (a surgical procedure to create an alternate method for urine storage) is usually done with radical cystectomy. Two common types of urinary diversion are an ileal conduit and a continent urinary reservoir.  An ileal conduit is a small urine reservoir that is surgically created from a small segment of bowel. The ureters that drain urine from the kidneys are attached to one end of the bowel segment. The other end is brought out through an opening in the skin (a stoma). The stoma allows the patient to drain the collected urine out of the reservoir. People who have had an ileal conduit need to wear a urine collection appliance outside their body at all times.  A continent urinary reservoir is an alternate method of storing urine. A segment of colon is removed. It is used to create an internal pouch to store urine.

This surgery is becoming more common in patients undergoing cystectomy. A segment of bowel is folded over to make a pouch (a neobladder, which means "new bladder"). Then it is attached to the place in the urethra where the urine normally empties from the bladder. This procedure allows patients to maintain some normal urinary control. However, there are complications (including urine leakage at night). Urination is usually not the same as it was before surgery.

Unfortunately, for most patients with stage IV tumors, the bladder cancer cannot be cured and surgery will not appropriate. In these stage IV bladder cancer patients, chemotherapy is often considered.

Actos has been prescribed to more than 10 million Americans since its approval for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.  The popular diabetes drug, Actos, manufactured by Takeda Pharmaceutical Co, has been linked to increased risk of bladder cancer and has been pulled off the market in some European countries.  Actos is now under review by the FDA to determine if it will be pulled from the market or additional black box warnings will be added to the drug.

 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, Vicoza, from the market the increasingly prescribed diabetes drug Victoza (liraglutide [rDNA origin] injection) because it puts patients at 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 feel free to contact Victoza Pancreatic Cancer Lawyer, Victoza Diabetes Drug Cancer Lawyer, and Victoza Pancreas Cancer Death Lawyer Jason Coomer a Texas lawyer, or use our online submission form.

Protecting Family Real Estate Through Probate From The Government and Other Loss by Texas Real Estate Probate Lawyer Jason S. Coomer

As a Texas Real Estate Inheritance Lawyer, I am seeing an increasing number of Texas families lose their family's real estate to governmental entities and vultures that purchase real estate at foreclosure sales for pennies on the dollar.  In many instances the owner of the real property passes away and the real property gets stuck in the probate process.  The family does not have the information or resources to pay the taxes or clear title to the property.  In many of these situations, time and delay works against the family until the real property is taken by the government and sold for pennies on the dollar.

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.

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.

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.
