Texas Traumatic Brain Injury Lawyers Help Victims of Traumatic Brain Injuries and Families of Those Suffering From Traumatic Brain Injuries by Texas Traumatic Brain Injury Lawyer Jason Coomer

Traumatic Brain Injuries can cause catastrophic damages in a person's life.  This is especially true when the victim of a traumatic brain injury is supporting their family prior to suffering a severe traumatic brain injury.  In these situations, it is extremely important for the victim and their family to ensure that they have excellent medical providers that can properly diagnose and treat the traumatic brain injury as well as an excellent lawyer that can help seek compensation for the damages caused by the injury including money to pay for reasonable and necessary medical treatment.

For more information on Texas Traumatic Brain Injury Lawsuits, please go to the following web site: Texas Traumatic Brain Injury Lawyer Helps Victims of Traumatic Brain Injuries.

Severe Brain Injuries Including Traumatic Brain Injuries Can Be Caused By A Variety of Traumas Many of Which Can Be The Basis of a Traumatic Brain Injury Lawsuit

Serious brain injuries can occur through traumatic impact to the head caused by an automobile accident, serious fall, falling object, construction accident, accidental gun shot, boating accident, or a vicious attack.  Severe trauma to the head can cause the brain to move inside the skull and injure the brain. The skull typically protects the brain from injury, but because the inside of the skull is rough a traumatic event that causes the brain to move or to swell inside the skull can cause the brain to press up against the skull and cause serious brain damage. Severe brain damage can also be caused by a lack of oxygen getting to the brain, a hemorrhage inside the brain, or damage to the skull.

A subarachnoid hemorrhage can be caused by trauma and is often described as the worst headache you can have. A subarachnoid hemorrhage is bleeding between the middle membrane covering of the brain and the brain itself. Specifically it occurs within the cerebrospinal fluid-filled spaces surrounding the brain (also known as the subarachnoid space).

Subdural hematomas are usually the result of a serious head injury. When they occur from head trauma, it is called an "acute" subdural hematoma. Acute subdural hematomas are among the deadliest of all head injuries. The bleeding fills the brain area very rapidly, leaving little room for the brain, and are associated with brain injury.

Subdural hematomas can occur after a very minor head injury, especially in the elderly. The subdural hematomas go unnoticed for many days or many weeks, and are called "chronic" subdural hematomas. During a subdural hematoma, tiny veins between the surface of the brain and its outer covering (the dura) stretch and tear, allowing blood to collect. In the elderly, the veins are often already stretched because of brain atrophy (shrinkage).

International Bribery Schemes and Other Illicit Actions Can Be The Basis of SEC Bounty Actions That Pay Large Financial Rewards to International Professionals Who Anonymously and Properly Expose SEC/FCPA Violations

International Bribery Schemes, Multinational Corporation Accounting Fraud, and Other Illicit Actions Can Be The Basis of SEC Bounty Actions That Pay Large Financial Rewards to International Professionals Who Anonymously and Properly Expose SEC/FCPA Violations by International Professional Bribery Scheme Lawyer Jason S. Coomer

Several types of whistleblower reward laws are now in place that are offering large financial rewards to pharmaceutical professionals and other international business professionals who properly expose international bribery schemes, accounting fraud, and other types of Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)/Foreign Corrupt Practices Action (FCPA) violations.  To be able to collect a large financial reward anonymously, the international professional must properly expose significant SEC/FCPA violations through a whistleblower reward lawyer.  For more information on this topic, please read below or go to the following web site: International Whistleblower Information Center: Confidential Reviews of SEC/FCPA Cases for International Professionals

International Pharmaceutical Professionals, Doctors, and other Health Care Professionals Can Confidentially Expose Illegal Bribery Schemes and other SEC/FCPA Violations Through a Lawyer and Collect Large Financial Rewards

Every year over $4.0 trillion (US dollars) is spent worldwide on health services including approximately $900 billion (US dollars) that is spent in the pharmaceutical market on drugs and medications.  It is estimated that from 10% to 20% of health services is lost to or the result of bribes, corruption, or fraud.  This loss is the target of whistleblower reward laws and offer international professionals the potential to receive a portion of money recovered by the SEC/FCPA.  In other words, if a whistleblower properly exposes an international bribery scheme that resulted in a large company increasing sales by $1 billion, the SEC can disgorge these ill gotten profits of $1 billion plus impose fines for the violations.  These resulting whistleblower reward can be up to 30% of what the SEC collected or over $300 million in the above scenario.   

It is estimated that of the $900 billion that is spent on pharmaceuticals that about $100 billion is lost though or the result of bribes, corruption, or fraud.  This is especially true in the 17 so-called "pharmerging countries," which include China, Brazil, Russia, India, Venezuela, Poland, and Ukraine. In these "pharmerging countries", the competition between large drug companies is fierce and several of the large drug companies have already received large fines for violating SEC and FCPA laws.  Based on the potential fro profits in these pharmerging markets, it is expected that large drug companies will continue to violate SEC/FCPA violations and that larger fines will be imposed in the future.

 The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) prohibits bribery of foreign officials by U.S. and foreign companies listed on the U.S. securities exchange.  International Pharmaceutical Professionals who 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 this topic, please go to the following web page: Confidentially Expose International Drug Company Bribes and Earn Large Whistleblower Rewards.

International Government Procurement Professionals Can Receive Large Financial Rewards by Anonymously Exposing Government Procurement Bribery Schemes

Worldwide government purchasing or government procurement is estimated to be over $10 Trillion each year.  Of this large amount of government purchasing, it is estimated that as much as 20% may be through illegal bribes, kickbacks, and other illicit payments.  Government procurement spending includes military spending; public works projects; public health care (pharmaceuticals, medical equipment, & hospitals); ports, transportation, & roads; mining and oil extraction; power grid and stations; education; law enforcement; and sanitation services.  Because of the vast amount of money spent by governments on government procurement, there are many different types of government procurement illegal bribery schemes, illegal kickback schemes, and other illicit payment schemes that have been created to steal money from the public at the expense of a country's citizens.

If you are aware of a government procurement illegal bribery scheme, illegal kickback scheme, and other illicit payment scheme, it is important that you learn how to properly report the government corruption and determine the best way to expose the corruption.  For more information on this topic, please go to the following web page:  International Government Procurement Professionals Can Receive Large Financial Rewards by Anonymously Exposing Government Procurement Bribery Schemes.

Globalization and Supply Chain Fraud in the Pharmaceutical Industry and other Regulated Industries Can Result in Dangerous Products and Be The Basis for Large Whistleblower Reward Recoveries by International Professionals with Original Information of FCPA Violations

The Globalization of International Trade and Standardization of Anti-bribery and Corruption Laws Have Led to the Enforcement of International Whistleblower Laws That Reward International Professionals for Anonymously Exposing Foreign Corrupt Practices Act Violations Including Illegal Bribes, Supply Chain Fraud, and Accounting Fraud by International Whistleblower Reward Lawyer Jason Coomer

Through globalization of international trade, there has been a shift in many international manufacturing supply chains. As such, raw material supplies for pharmaceuticals as well as component parts and raw materials for medical supplies, medical equipment, aircraft, weapons systems, electronics, and several other regulated products that have traditionally come from the United States and Europe are now coming from China and India. This manufacturing shift has created an environment where adulterated ingredients to pharmaceuticals, medical supplies, and medical devices as well as counterfeit parts for weapons and electronics may be used in the manufacturing of products and can create dangerous and adulterated drugs, medical supplies, and medical devices as well as dangerous and defective weapons, computers, aircraft, and vehicles.

For this reason international professionals are being offered large financial rewards to properly expose supply chain fraud including bribes, accounting fraud, and dangerous regulated products.  Under SEC FCPA whistleblower reward laws, an international professional can report these Foreign Corrupt Practice Act violations anonymously through a lawyer to protect their identity and career from potential retaliation.

The Globalization of the Pharmaceutical Industry

Every year over $4.1 trillion (US dollars) is spent worldwide on health services including approximately $850 billion (US dollars) that is spent in the pharmaceutical market on drugs and medications.  In 2011, it is estimated that global pharmaceutical sales are expected to grow by 5% to 7% to around $880 billion.  This growth in sales is led by the 17 so-called "pharmerging countries," which include China, Brazil, Russia, India, Venezuela, Poland and the Ukraine.  These "pharmerging countries", are forecast to see their pharmaceutical spending grow at a 15% to 17% rate in 2011, to between $170 billion and $180 billion overall.

For more information on Globalization in the Pharmaceutical Industry, please go to the following web pages: Globalization in the Pharmaceutical Industry, Drug Company Bribe Whistleblowers, and Doctors in China Are Needed to Expose Illegal Drug Bribes and Fraudulent Marketing Schemes.

The Globalization of Electronics, Weapons Systems, and Aircraft

Globalization of supply chains in international trade has created a shift in where many component parts are produced.  This shift includes the production of electronic components that are used in aircraft, military weapons systems, computers, medical equipment, and other products that are purchased by the United States government through procurement contracts.  These electronic components were traditionally manufactured in the United States and Europe, but are now being manufactured in China, Mexico, India, and South America.  When these electronic components are fake or substandard parts, false certifications regarding the quality of these electronic components can  be the subject of a Qui Tam False Claims Act Whistleblower Reward Lawsuit. These lawsuits encourage whistleblowers including international whistleblowers along the electronic component supply chain to blow the whistle on fake military electronic components, low quality electronic components, and other counterfeit electronic parts.

Global drugmakers are paying tens of millions of dollars to settle U.S. allegations that they bribed their way across emerging markets, but harsher penalties may be needed to deter the practice in untapped regions where billions are at stake.

Federal authorities have cast a wide net to weed out suspected gift-giving and kickbacks to foreign doctors and government officials to gain a foothold in burgeoning new markets in Asia, Eastern Europe and Latin America.

Texas Defective Airbag Lawyer Handles Fatal Accidents and Catastrophic Injury Accidents Caused By Defective Airbags by Texas Defective Airbag Lawyer

Texas Defective Airbag Lawyer Handles Fatal Accidents and Catastrophic Injury Accidents Caused By Defective Airbags by Texas Defective Airbag Lawyer Jason Coomer

Defective airbags can cause catastrophic injuries or death.  Recently, it has been discovered that millions of vehicles made by 14 different vehicle manufacturers have faulty airbags that might fail to protect passengers and drivers, but might also cause accidents, injury, or death.  Millions of vehicles are currently under recalls, but many of these vehicles have already been involved in accidents or are still being driven despite having potentially dangerous airbags.  For more information on this topic and a list of recalled vehicles, please go to the following web page: Defective Airbag Accident Death Lawyer Handles Fatal Accidents Caused By Defective Airbags.

Automobile Airbags Should be Designed to Protect Vehicle Drivers and Passengers in Automobile Crashes, Collisions, Wrecks and other Accidents

An airbag is a vehicle safety device that is used to protect drivers and passengers in automobiles. Airbags are designed to be an occupant restraint that consists of a flexible envelope which has been designed to inflate rapidly in an automobile collision and to prevent vehicle occupants from striking interior objects such as the steering wheel or window.  Rapid and effective deployment of an airbag safety system can not only reduce injuries in a high impact vehicle collision, but can save lives.  Properly functioning and designed airbag systems are important for safe travel including protecting drivers, adult passengers, and children.

However, some defective airbags can inflate too rapidly and actually cause metal shrapnel to be sprayed throughout the passenger cabin of a vehicle.   

Automobile Accident Crashworthiness Defective Air Bag Lawsuits and Fatal Automobile Collision Crashworthiness Defective Air Bag Lawsuits (Automobile Defective Airbag Product Liability Lawsuits)

Defective Air Bag Lawsuits may arise out of serious automobile crashes and fatal collisions where a defective air bag was the cause of death or a catastrophic injury through an improper deployment or a failure to deploy.  An air bag injury may result when an air bag deploys at low impact or no impact causing a car wreck or vehicle crash or a serious injury to the driver or passenger. The defective airbag will deploy at tremendous force which is necessary to protect passengers from  forward momentum of a high-speed crash. However, if the air bag deploys At low speed, deployment can snap the head and neck back severely, resulting in spinal damage, brain injury and soft tissue damage. Facial lacerations and even broken bones in the face are also common. Sometimes air bags fail to deploy when they should, resulting in chest, head, face and or neck injury as the body is propelled against the dashboard, windshield or seatback.

Adulterated Drug Whistleblower Rewards: Pharmaceutical Quality Assurance Managers, Drug Safety Specialists, and Calibration Specialists Are Being Offered Large Financial Rewards To Expose Drug Manufacturers Who Are Producing Dangerous Adulterated Drugs by Adulterated Drug Whistleblower Reward Lawyer Jason Coomer

Pharmaceutical professionals including drug quality assurance managers, drug calibration specialists, and other drug safety professionals are being offered large financial rewards for properly exposing drug manufacturers who are producing adulterated drugs.  The pharmaceutical professionals are encouraged to contact an adulterated drug whistleblower reward lawyer to determine if they may have a viable whistleblower reward case and if so to help the adulterated drug whistleblower properly report the drug fraud.  For more information on this topic, please read below or go to the following web pages: Adulterated Drug Whistleblower Reward Lawsuit Information and Drug Supply Chain Fraud Whistleblower Reward Lawsuit Information.

Adulterated Drugs Threaten The Lives of Women, Men and Children

Because of the serious potential danger to the public that can be caused by giving contaminated drugs or improperly calibrated drugs to the public, it is vitally important that pharmaceutical professionals with original knowledge of manufacturer drug fraud report adulterated drugs that are not properly calibrated or are contaminated.  By reporting drug manufacturers who are systematically selling adulterated drugs and/or who are intentionally not complying with good manufacturing practices, a whistleblower can save the lives of women, men, and children as well as receive large financial reward.

It is the United States Food and Drug Administration's expectation that current good manufacturing practices (CGMP) be used for the manufacturing, processing, packing, or holding (i.e., storage) of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), intermediates, and excipients.  Further, the FDA recommends that laboratory controls should include the establishment of scientifically sound and appropriate specifications, standards, sampling plans, and test procedures to ensure that raw materials, intermediates, APIs, and containers conform to established standards of quality and purity.

The Government is Cracking Down on Drug Manufacturers That Commit Fraud 

The FDA and Department of Justice are cracking down on fraudulent drug manufacturers who are not following FDA regulations and are not adhering to good manufacturing practices.  The government will not tolerate any lapses in safety standards from pharmaceutical manufacturers.  This increased enforcement by FDA combined with the offer of large economic incentives to contaminated adulterated drug whistleblowers are designed to expose pharmaceutical fraud that attempts to hide drug safety and quality violations.

It is important for pharmaceutical drug safety whistleblowers to not delay in coming forward with a False Claim Act Qui Tam Action as the first whistleblower to file is eligible to be a relator and may make a large recovery for exposing the drug safety fraud.  Additionally, when the fraudulent scheme is exposed, the people that kept the fraud secret can sometimes be found liable for criminal activity for not exposing the drug safety fraud that was being committed and be held liable for continuing criminal activity.

International Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Fraud Can Cause Adulterated and Dangerous Pharmaceuticals to Enter The United States and Trigger a Whistleblower Reward Lawsuit

Pharmaceutical suppliers of defective or dangerous raw materials to the pharmaceutical industry can cause dangerous and adulterated drugs to enter the United States.  In these situations, the FDA, SEC, and Department of Justice can step in to stop the flow of adulterated drugs and if appropriate award a large financial reward to the pharmaceutical professional that exposed the fraud.

Texas Bus Accident Lawyer Investigates Texas Bus Accidents To Determine The Cause of Accidents and Helps Injured Persons and the Families of Persons Killed by Texas Bus Accidents

Laredo Webb County Texas Bus Accident Rollover Under Investigation, Texas Bus Accident Causes, and Texas Bus Accident Investigations by Texas Bus Accident Lawyer Jason S. Coomer


A Texas fatal bus rollover accident occurred on Highway 83 in Webb County, Texas near Laredo, Texas.  The accident occurred on May 14, 2016 around 1:00 P.M. killing 8 people and sending 44 more to the hospital.  Officials are still investigating the cause of this Texas fatal bus rollover accident.  Unfortunately, Texas bus accidents are common and can often cause catastrophic damage to passengers of the bus as well as drivers and passengers in other vehicles.  For more information on Texas fatal bus accidents and investigations, please go to the following web page: Texas Fatal Bus Accident Lawyer.

Deregulation of the Bus Industry and NAFTA Have Caused Additional Texas Fatal Bus Accidents and Texas Bus Serious Injury Accidents

Texas Bus Accidents are more common than many people think.  With deregulation of the bus industry standards and NAFTA, has come increased bus traffic on older and more poorly maintained buses driven by overworked, poorly supervised, and under trained bus drivers.  Some of these bus drivers have histories of reckless driving and driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol.  Whether a Texas bus accident is caused by a poorly maintained bus or driver error including a reckless driver, a driver driving under the influence, an untrained driver, or an over worked driver, it is important to determine the cause of each accident and work to prevent similar accidents in the future.

Bus Accident Investigation, Truck Accident, and Commercial Vehicle Accident Investigation is Essential to Prevent Future Accidents and to Obtain Compensation for Those Injured or the Families of Those Killed in a Deadly Accident

Immediately after a bus accident, the bus 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 bus company or insurance company's representatives; or are too busy getting the survivors of the accident to safety, clearing the debris & vehicles, dealing with tow truck drivers, and directing traffic to properly investigate the scene of an accident.    

For these reasons, it is often best to have your own investigation done of the bus, driver, witnesses, and if possible accident scene.  For more information on Commercial Vehicle Accident Investigation, please go to the following accident investigation web page: Truck, Bus, and Commercial Vehicle Accident Information & Investigation Center.

ETF Investment Fraud

An exchange-traded fund (ETF) is an investment fund traded on stock exchanges, much like stocks. An ETF holds assets such as stocks, commodities, or bonds, and trades close to its net asset value over the course of the trading day. Most ETFs track an index, such as a stock index or bond index.  Because ETFs are based on other investments and can sometimes be leveraged on a particular stock, industry, bond, or commodity, a small decline in the underlying investment can cause a very large loss in the ETF.  For this reason, it is important for the investor to be able to trust their registered financial advisor, broker, fund manager, or investment company.  When fraud is committed by a registered financial advisor, broker, fund manager, or investment company, it is extremely important to expose the fraud through a bounty action or direct lawsuit against a registered financial advisor, broker, fund manager, or investment company.  For more information on ETF investments, please go to the following web page:

Dark Pool Investments

 Dark pool investments are transacted in trading venues that differ from public exchanges because orders are not visible to other traders until they are executed.  The lack of pre-trade price information is designed to help institutional investors trade large blocks of shares without the market moving against them.  These dark pool investments are still susceptible to several types of securities fraud and can often be harder to detect because the orders are less visible.  For more information on dark pool investment and a recent SEC action, please go to the following web page:
