Dodd-Frank Mandatory Disclosure Provisions

Title XV of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act contains several specialized disclosure provisions including the following:

• Section 1504 requires reporting issuers engaged in the commercial development of oil, natural gas, or minerals to disclose in an annual report certain payments made to the United States or a foreign government. This information must be provided in an interactive data format, and the Commission must make a compilation of the information available online. Issuers are not required to provide their disclosures until their first annual report ending at least one year after the date on which the Commission issues its final rules.

• Section 1502 requires persons to disclose annually whether any conflict minerals that are necessary to the functionality or production of a product of the person, as defined in the provision, originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country and, if so, to provide a report describing, among other matters, the measures taken to exercise due diligence on the source and chain of custody of those minerals, which must include an independent private sector audit of the report that is certified by the person filing the report. Certain aspects of this rulemaking will require consultation with other federal agencies, including the State Department, the Government Accountability Office, and the Commerce Department. Persons are not required to comply with these rules until their first full fiscal year after the date on which the Commission issues its final rules.  
• Section 1503 requires any reporting issuer that is a mine operator, or has a subsidiary that is an operator, to disclose in each periodic report filed with the Commission information related to health and safety violations, including the number of certain violations, orders, and citations received from the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) among other matters. Issuers must also disclose in their Form 8-K reports the receipt from MSHA of any imminent danger orders or notices indicating that a mine has a pattern or potential pattern of violating mandatory health or safety standards.

Texas Child Sexual Abuse Lawyer Works With Victims, Families, and other Child Sexual Abuse Lawyers To Expose Child Sexual Predators by Texas Child Sexual Abuse Lawyer Jason S. Coomer

Texas Child Sexual Abuse Lawyer and Texas Church Child Molestation Lawyer Handles Church Official Child Sexual Abuse Lawsuits and Negligent Hiring Lawsuits Where Church Officials, Church Elders, and Employers Negligently Allow Sexual Predators to Abuse Children by Texas Child Sexual Abuse Lawyer and Texas Church Child Sexual Molestation Lawyer Jason S. Coomer

The Penn State Sexual Abuse Scandal has brought the issue of child sexual predators and those that protect child sexual predators into the public spot light. It is clear that there are still too many child sexual predators out there and too many people in positions of power that are protecting them or failing to expose them.

By exposing both sexual predators and those that allow the sexual predator access to children, families and victims that come forward can protect future children from sexual predators, change policies to protect future generations, and seek compensation from those who negligently allowed sexual abuse and sexual assaults to occur.

Churches, Private Schools, and Community Centers Have a Duty To Protect Children From Sexual Predators and Make Sure that Sexual Predators Do Not Have Access to Children

 

Private schools, churches, community centers, and daycare centers have a duty to provide proper supervision of their premises and staff to make sure that the children in their care are safe from harm.  If the church, private school, community center, or daycare center hires or allows a person that has a history of molestation or sexual assault to be around children, they may have violated their duty to protect the children in their care and have negligently allowed a sexual assault or molestation to occur.  Further, if the church, private school, community center, or daycare center allows strangers to access the premises or does not adequately screen or supervise its employees, and a child is molested as a result of the private school's, church's or daycare center's lack of care, the negligent conduct may support a legal cause of action for negligence. 

Employers that Negligently Hire, Screen, Train, Supervise, Monitor, and/or Retain Sexual Predators and Child Sexual Molesters Can Be Held Responsible for Child Molestation, Sexual Abuse, Rape, and Sexual Assault That Occurs As A Result of Their Negligence

Under Texas Law victims of child sexual abuse, sexual assault, molestation, and rape can seek compensation from employers that negligently hired sexual predators and negligently allowed them to sexually abuse, molest, or rape children.  If you or someone you love has been a victim of sexual assault, molestation, sexual abuse, indecent exposure to a minor, or rape, it is important that you step forward to expose the sexual predator and any other party that allowed the sexual predator to molest, assault, or abuse. 

By exposing sexual predators and any businesses and employers that breached their duty to protect children from sexual predators, victims and families that step forward are helping protect other children and innocents from being sexually abused, molested, or assaulted.  Often these cases create new policies and procedures that detect sexual predators and prevent them from being able to isolate potential new victims.

IRS pays whistleblower $104 million

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Internal Revenue Service has awarded an ex-banker $104 million for providing information about overseas tax cheats — the largest amount ever awarded by the agency, lawyers for the whistleblower announced Tuesday.
Former Swiss banker Bradley Birkenfeld is credited with exposing widespread tax evasion at Swiss bank UBS AG. Birkenfeld himself served roughly two and-a-half years in prison for a fraud conspiracy conviction related to the case, which resulted in a $780 million fine against the bank and an unprecedented agreement requiring UBS to turn over thousands of names of suspected American tax dodgers to the IRS.

"The IRS today sent 104 million messages to whistleblowers around the world — that there is now a safe and secure way to report tax fraud and that the IRS is now paying awards," Birkenfeld's lawyers, Stephen M. Kohn and Dean A. Zerbe, said in a statement. "The IRS also sent 104 million messages to banks around the world — stop enabling tax cheats or you will get caught."

The IRS, which doesn't usually confirm individual award payments, said Birkenfeld signed a disclosure waiver, allowing the agency to confirm his award.

"The IRS believes that the whistleblower statute provides a valuable tool to combat tax non-compliance, and this award reflects our commitment to the law," IRS spokeswoman Michele Eldridge said in an email.

Birkenfeld has become something of a cause celebre among whistleblowers because of the magnitude of his case and the fact that he was jailed after cooperating with authorities.
In a summary of the award provided by Birkenfeld's lawyers, the IRS said, "The comprehensive information provided by the whistleblower was exceptional in both its breadth and depth."

"While the IRS was aware of tax compliance issues related to secret bank accounts in Switzerland and elsewhere, the information provided by the whistleblower formed the basis for unprecedented actions against UBS AG, with collateral impact on other enforcement activities and a continuing impact on future compliance by UBS AG," the IRS said in the summary.

Federal prosecutors, however, had said Birkenfeld withheld information about his own dealings with a former UBS client who pleaded guilty in 2007 to tax charges.

In 2006, Congress strengthened whistleblower rewards. The 2006 law targets high-income tax dodgers, guaranteeing rewards for qualified whistleblowers if the company in question owes a least $2 million in unpaid taxes, interest and penalties.

Some lawmakers, however, have complained that the IRS has been slow to pay out awards.
"The potential for this program is tremendous, and it's up to the IRS to continue paying rewards and demonstrating to whistleblowers that the process will work and that they will be heard and protected," said Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, who helped write the law. "An award of $104 million is obviously a great deal of money, but billions of dollars in taxes owed will be collected that otherwise would not have been paid, as a result of the whistleblower information."

Texas Fatal Accident Lawyers Represent The Families of People That Have Been Wrongfully Killed and Make The World Safer By Preventing Future Fatal Accidents by Texas Fatal Accident Lawyer and Texas Accident Death Lawyer Jason S. Coomer

Texas Fatal Accident Lawyers Help Parents, Spouses, Children, and Other Family Members Seek Compensation for Lost Loved Ones and Investigate Dangerous Policies, Negligent Actions, and Hazardous Conditions that Help Prevent Future Fatal Accidents by Texas Fatal Accident Lawyer and Texas Accident Death Lawyer Jason S. Coomer

Losing a loved one is difficult. This is especially true if your loved one is killed by the carelessness, conscious disregard, or negligence of another. Unfortunately, every year thousands of Texans are killed by the negligence of drunk drivers, careless businesses, and negligent property owners.  In most of these situations the family of the person killed is not compensated or is under compensated for the loss of a loved one.  Further, many of these fatal accidents are not properly investigated allowing negligent businesses, hazardous conditions, careless people, and dangerous policies to kill or injure others.

Texas Fatal Accident Lawyers can help families that have lost a family member and loved ones through on the job accidents, car crashes, truck collisions, accidental shootings, drunk drivers, dangerous conditions, explosions, fires, failure to follow safety procedures, motorcycle wrecks, falls, medical malpractice, automobile accidents, and other claims resulting in accidental death. Texas Fatal Accident Lawyers can represent the families of the deceased and assert their rights after an accident including performing a full investigation of the accident death to determine what happened and how to prevent any other accidental death from occurring in the same way.

Texas Fatal Automobile Accidents, Texas Fatal Truck Wrecks, and Texas Fatal Car Accidents Are The Most Common Type of Fatal Accident and Can Often Involve Several Different Types of Insurance and Legal Claims

The most common type of fatal accidents are automobile collisions where a drunk or careless driver crashes into another vehicle or runs over a pedestrian or cyclist.  Texas fatal automobile accidents are one of the leading causes of death for persons under 50 years of age and the families of those killed are commonly under compensated by insurance companies.  Because of the complexity of insurance coverage including commercial accident policies, death benefits, and other potential insurance policies, it is often best for families that have lost a loved one in a fatal accident, to seek counsel regarding the fatal accident.

For more information on Texas Fatal Automobile Accident Lawsuits and Texas Automobile Accident Death Lawsuits, please feel free to contact Texas Fatal Accident Lawyer Jason S. Coomer or go to the following web page: Texas Fatal Automobile Accident Lawyer.

Texas Fatal Work Accident Lawsuits Include Texas Fatal Explosion Lawsuits, Texas Commercial Vehicle Accident Death Lawsuits, and Texas Fatal Construction Accident Lawsuits

Texas fatal workplace accidents are another common type of fatal accident that can kill a loved one.  In these fatal accidents, it is typically the family wage earner that is killed resulting not only in the loss of a loved one, but also in the loss of necessary income.  In these situations, it is often essential for the family to seek help in forcing an insurance company or large corporation to pay compensation for lost wages, future lost earnings, and other damages from the fatal accident.

Texas Fatal Accident Lawyers Can Help Prove Damages to Insurance Companies and Guilty Defendants After an Accident Death

After losing a loved one in an accident, it can be difficult to locate all potential insurance recoveries and other potential legal recoveries.  It can also be difficult to prove the full extent of damages that your family has suffered from the loss of a loved one.  Insurance companies and guilty defendants are often more interested in protecting themselves from paying compensation, than from making sure a family is fully compensated for the death of a loved one. This is true even if the damages suffered include the loss of a main contributor of financial support to your family or if there are large medical and funeral bills created by the death.  These damages can often cause a ripple affect of other damages that can result in the loss of a home, loss of vehicles, loss of ability to go to college, and other serious financial problems.  Understanding collectible damages under Texas law and potential insurance coverage under Texas law, is important in maximizing a recovery after the loss of a loved one in a fatal accident.

Texas Doctor Mistake Lawyers Are Finding More Dangerous and Negligent Doctors Practicing in Texas by Texas Doctor Mistake Lawyer and Texas Fatal Medical Mistake Lawyer Jason S. Coomer

Texas Doctor Mistake Lawyers That Handle Texas Doctor Mistake Lawsuits and Texas Fatal Medical Mistake Lawsuits Are Finding More Incompetent Doctors From Other States and Countries Practicing in Texas and other Medical Doctors That Are Aware of Dangerous Doctors in Their Medical Community by Texas Doctor Mistake Lawyer and Texas Fatal Medical Mistake Lawyer Jason S. Coomer

Changes in Texas medical malpractice law have created an environment where negligent doctors including incompetent doctors from other states and other countries are coming to practice in Texas and then carelessly injuring and killing Texans.  Because the Texas Supreme Court and Texas Legislature have substantially increased the cost of filing and litigating Texas doctor mistake lawsuits, many of the mistakes committed by these negligent doctors will not be noticed or acted upon until the negligent doctor kills or seriously injures several people or the right person.

Texas Doctor Mistake Lawyers Are Finding Some Dangerous Doctors Have Long Histories of Making Deadly Mistakes

In reviewing Texas doctor mistake lawsuits, it is becoming more common for the negligent doctor that has made a deadly medical mistake to have had numerous incidents regarding careless acts and for other doctors in the medical community to be aware of the poor reputation of the dangerously negligent doctor.  In these situations, it is not uncommon to learn that the negligent doctor may have caused numerous deaths and that other doctors in the medical community were aware that this dangerous doctor had a history of making deadly mistakes.

Further, in an era of mass profit medicine, many doctors are becoming aware of dangerous assembly line doctors that perform dangerous and unnecessary surgeries as well as other unnecessary medical procedures.  These dangerous doctors often weigh profits over the health of patients and prescribe unnecessary procedures to those with health insurance or Medicare regardless of the medical need.

It Is Important to Report Dangerous Doctors to Prevent Future Deaths and Injuries 

If you have lost a family member to the careless act or actions of a Texas doctor, it is important to report this doctor to the hospital, medical center, or practice that the doctor is working at and to the Texas Board of Medical Examiners.  Additionally, if you believe that you have suffered a significant injury or your child has suffered a birth injury as a result of a doctor mistake, physician error, or negligent act, it is important that you come forward and expose the negligence or mistake to prevent similar mistakes from occurring in the future.

SEC Requires International Energy, Mining, and Extraction Companies to Report Payments to Foreign Governments by International Energy Company Fraud Lawyer and International Oil Company Illegal Kickback Lawyer Jason S. Coomer

International Energy, Mining, and Extraction Companies Listed With the SEC Are Being Required to File SEC Disclosures On Payments Made to Foreign Government Officials for Oil, Gas, and Mineral Contracts: False Reports of Payments to Foreign Governments by Multinational Oil Companies Can Result In SEC and FCPA Violations That Are the Basis for Whistleblower Reward Bounty Actions by International Energy Company Fraud Lawyer and International Oil Company Illegal Kickback Lawyer Jason S. Coomer

Under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, all domestic and foreign companies registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) must publicly report how much they pay governments for access to their oil, gas and minerals, beginning in FY2012. These payments must be reported on a country-by-country and a project-by-project basis, and will likely cover a wide range of the material benefits that accrue to governments from extractive deals.  This Dodd-Frank reporting requirement, known as the Cardin-Lugar Transparency Amendment is expected to help remove corruption from the oil and gas mineral extraction industry.

SEC ruling will spotlight financial dealings of firms in Africa | MinnPost

"The world is set to know a bit more about the billions of dollars that US-listed companies spend to scoop gold and gas and diamonds and oil out of the earth."

"In a 2-to-1 vote yesterday, the US Securities and Exchange Commission approved a thorny clause nestled near the back of 2010's 800-page US Financial Reform Act. Section 1504 — the “Disclosure of Payments By Resource Extraction Issuers Section” — forces any oil or mining company listed on a US stock exchange to produce an annual report detailing each check, bank transfer, or cash-flushed suitcase above $100,000 that they submit to foreign governments."

USDOJ: United States Joins Lawsuit Against San Francisco Area’s North East Medical Services

The United States has joined a whistleblower action pending in the Northern District of California against the federally-qualified health center (FQHC), North East Medical Services (NEMS), alleging that the center under-reported income it received from a managed care organization in order to artificially inflate reimbursements it received from the California Medicaid program, the Justice Department announced today.   North East serves the San Francisco Bay area.

“As health care costs continue to rise, it is more important than ever that health care providers report accurate information to federal and state health care programs,” said Stuart Delery, Acting Assistant Attorney General for the Justice Department’s Civil Division.   “The Department of Justice is committed to cracking down on improper accounting practices such as those alleged in this case, which undermine the integrity of these health care programs and increase the costs of health care for the rest of us.”

 

“Filing claims that imp roperly inflate reimbursement amounts means there are less funds available for people in need,” said Melinda Haag, U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of California. “My office views the actions this defendant allegedly committed as a serious breach of the responsibilities healthcare organizations owe to people in need of medical care and also to the taxpayers who fund these programs.  We are committed to doing everything in our power to protect the integrity of the healthcare system.”

 

The whistleblower action, captioned United States ex rel. Trinh v. North East Medical Services, Inc. Civil Action No. 10-1904 (N.D. Cal.), was filed under the qui tam provisions of the False Claims Act.   The False Claims Act allows for private persons to file actions to provide the government information about wrongdoing.   Under the statute, if it is established that a person has submitted or caused others to submit false or fraudulent claims to the United States, the government can recover treble damages and $5,500 to $11,000 for each false or fraudulent claim filed.   If the government is successful in resolving or litigating its claims, the whistleblower who initiated the action can receive a share of between 15 percent to 25 percent of the amount recovered.

With the rapidly expanding Brazilian economy, many international corporations are using illegal bribes, kickbacks, and other illicit payments to government officials to obtain lucrative government contracts, construction contracts, and oil contracts.  These illegal bribes are the target of new laws that offer large financial rewards and whistle blower protections to international whistle blowers that expose illegal bribes and other government corruption.  These whistle blower reward laws are essential and effective in exposing government official bribes, government agent kickbacks, fraud, embezzlement, and other forms of corruption.

These foreign anti-bribery laws are part of a global trend where governments around the world are cracking down on large corrupt multinational corporations that are offering bribes and kickbacks to government officials in order to obtain large government contracts, avoid health & safety regulations, bypass environmental laws, and exploit populations in foreign countries.

If you are aware of significant international contract bribes, illegal kickbacks or other corrupt practices by foreign companies and/or multinational corporations, please feel free to contact Brazil Government Official Bribe Lawyer Jason Coomer. 

Analysis: Next hurdles for Brazil: sticky fingers, red tape | Reuters

"The ministry overseeing Brazil's new $66 billion infrastructure plan was also ground zero for a spectacular corruption scandal last year in which officials allegedly demanded 5 percent kickbacks on highway construction projects and then pushed carts down the hallways to hand out the cash."


"Rousseff hopes the infrastructure plan, unveiled on Wednesday, will revolutionize Brazil's decrepit highway and railway system. She is also betting it will provide a boost to an economy that has barely grown during the past year, and is struggling to upgrade its infrastructure before hosting the 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Summer Olympics."

"The initiative marks a major shift from practices over the past decade in which successive left-leaning governments oversaw planning, execution and maintenance of most infrastructure projects. Under the new scheme, which some have labeled a privatization, businesses will be responsible for most aspects of building or improving about 4,500 miles of highways and 6,200 miles of railroads."

"Rousseff said she will outline similar initiatives for sea ports and airports in coming weeks."

"Observers generally praised the spirit of the plan, but pointed out that it does not remove the state entirely from the equation. Brazil's notoriously slow environmental licensing process, a legal system that allows projects to be halted for tenuous reasons, and continued problems with graft mean that the plan is likely to fall short of Rousseff's expectation of $50 billion in investments in just five years."

Texas Corporate Fraud Lawyers Can Help Recover Business, Corporate, and Partnership Assets Through Texas Business Fraud Lawsuits and Texas Corporate Fraud Lawsuits

Protecting Corporate and Partnership assets including investment capital, mineral rights, intellectual property, water rights, stock, real estate, trade secrets, customer lists, and revenues is an important part of running a successful business.  However, sometimes someone in a position of power or with opportunity will take advantage of a situation to steal or take what does not belong to them.  The first step in recovering the assets is to obtain evidence of the fraudulent act.  Commonly, computer hard drives, e-mail messages, and accounting records are the best source of evidence to prove wrongdoing.  The  second step is to calculate the assets that were taken and any additional damages that this fraud has caused.  The third step is to identify all potential defendants that allowed the fraud to take place and who profited from the corporate fraud.

Libor Scandal Riles Calpers Chief Investment Officer

"Libor is compiled from estimates by big banks of how much they believe they have to pay to borrow from each other and is used for $550 trillion of interest rate derivatives contracts. It also influences rates on many lending transactions, including mortgages, student loans and credit card transactions."

"Suspected manipulation by global banks of Libor benchmark international rates shows the financial services industry cannot be trusted to act in the best interest of long-term investors like the California Public Employees' Retirement System and any misdeeds uncovered in Libor probes need to prosecuted, said Joe Dear, who oversees the assets of the $233 billion pension fund."


"On Sunday, a spokesman for New York Attorney General Eric Schneider said the state is investigating possible rigging of Libor, and other states, such as Florida, are also looking at possible legal actions. Connecticut's attorney general launched a probe six months ago."

"U.S. and British authorities last month fined Barclays Plc, the bank at the center of the Libor scandal, a record $450 million for manipulating the rate. Barclays employees are not shielded from criminal prosecution. The U.S. Justice Department is also building criminal cases against several financial institutions and their employees, The New York Times reported on Saturday."

The 2012 Federal Estate Tax Exemption Portability Provision Allows Some Couples to Protect Up To $10.24 Million From The Federal Estate Tax by Texas Family Wealth Planning Lawyer and Texas Family Wealth Protection Lawyer Jason S. Coomer

The 2012 Federal Estate Tax Exemption Allows Most Individuals to Pass $5.12 Million and Some Couples to Pass $10.24 Million to Loved Ones Without Having to Pay a Federal Estate Tax by Texas Wealth Planning Lawyer and Texas Family Wealth Protection Lawyer Jason S. Coomer

The Federal Estate Tax currently allows a person that has not used their life time gift tax exemption to give away money assets up to the Federal Estate Tax Exemption at death without charging any tax on that amount.  The Federal Estate Tax Exemption for 2012 is $5.12 million which means that in 2012 only estates valued over $5.12 million will be charged a Federal inheritance tax and those estates over $5.12 million will only pay a 35% Federal inheritance tax on assets over the $5.12 million exemption.

For example a person that has an estate valued at $7.12 million and has not used any of their life time gift tax would be subject to the Federal Estate Tax on $2 million and would have to pay approximately $700,000.00 in estate taxes.

The 2012 Federal Estate Tax Exemption Portability Provision Allows Some Couples to Protect Up To $10.24 Million From The Federal Estate Tax

However, it should be kept in mind that for 2012 the Federal Estate Tax Exemption has become portable.  As such, each spouse has $5.12 million that can in many case be added together to create a $10.24 million Federal Estate Tax Exemption.  In other words, the estate of a deceased spouse can transfer to the surviving spouse any portion of the federal estate tax exemption that it does not use. The surviving spouse’s estate can then add that amount to the exemption it is entitled to, increasing the total amount that can be passed on to heirs tax free.

For example a married couple that has an estate valued at $10.24 million, has not used any of their life time gift tax, and properly uses the portability of the Federal Estate Tax Exemption would not have to pay any Federal estate tax.  Likewise, the same married couple with an estate of $12.24 would be subject to the Federal Estate Tax on $2 million and would have to pay approximately $700,000.00 in estate taxes.

Families interested in protecting their wealth should stay advised as to changes in the law that could impact their ability to protect their family's wealth.  One such change may be the change in the Federal Estate Tax Exemption that may automatically take place at the end of 2012, unless new legislation is passed.

Austin Texas Drunk Driver Fatal Accidents Leave Behind Loved Ones With Potential Legal Claims by Austin Texas Drunk Driver Accident Death Lawyer and Austin Texas Fatal Drunk Driver Accident Lawyer Jason S. Coomer

Every Year Thousands of Texans Are Killed by the Negligence of Drunk Drivers: These People Leave Behind Mothers, Fathers, Wives, Children, and other Family Members that Have Potential Legal Claims Under Texas Law For Their Loss by Austin Texas Drunk Driver Accident Death Lawyer and Austin Texas Fatal Drunk Driver Accident Lawyer Jason S. Coomer

Every year thousands of Texans are killed by the negligence of drunk drivers, intoxicated drivers, and drivers under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Many of the people that are killed by drunk and intoxicated drivers, leave behind spouses, parents, children, and other loved ones that are devastated by their loss.  These mothers, fathers, wives, husbands, sons, and daughters have the ability under Texas law to file wrongful death lawsuits against the intoxicated and negligent driver, the  people or businesses that over served the drunk with alcohol, and the business or people that gave the vehicle to the drunk driver to drive.

 

It is common that many people who have lost a loved one to a drunk driver, do not realize that they may have a viable wrongful death or survival lawsuit against the person that negligently or recklessly killed their loved one as well as other parties that contributed to the drunk driver driving and causing the collision.  Under Texas law, Parents, Children, and Spouses of persons killed by drunk drivers have potential wrongful death claims against the drunk driver that killed their mother, father, husband, wife, son, or daughter.  Through these wrongful death lawsuits and survival actions the relatives of a person killed by a drunk driver can often recover from the drunk driver's insurance company, the drunk driver, parents that provided alcohol to minors that were driving, or the bar where the drunk was drinking.

Every Year Several Texans Are Killed in Boating Accidents and Drowning Accident by Austin Texas Boat Accident Lawyer and Austin Texas Drowning Accident Lawyer

Negligent Boat Owners, Boat Operators, Pool Owners, Lake House Owners, and Marinas Kill Several People Each Year and Can Often Be Held Liable For Their Negligent Actions by Texas Fatal Boating Accident Lawyer, Texas Drowning Accident Lawyer and Austin Texas Boat Accident Lawyer Jason S. Coomer

Every year a large number of people are killed in boating accidents, water sport accidents, and drowning accidents.  Many of these people are accidentally killed by negligent and careless boat operators, boat owners, marinas, and boat rental companies that provide alcohol, boats, and other water craft to inexperienced boat operators and people on drugs or alcohol.  These negligent marinas, boat owners, and water craft rental companies as well as the drunk, careless, or intoxicated boat operators can often be held liable under Texas law if their negligent actions kill or seriously injure a person.  In many of these fatal boating accidents, alcohol and inexperienced operators are the cause of the accidents.  These boating accidents are especially common in Lake Travis, Lake Austin, Lake LBJ, Lake Buchanan, Canyon Lake, Inks Lake, Lake Conroe, Medina Lake, and Granger Lake. 

If you have lost a family member in a Texas boating accident or have been seriously injured in a boating accident or water craft accident due the carelessness of a drunk boater, negligent boat rental company, negligent marina, negligent boat owner, or inexperienced water craft operator, it is important that you step forward and file a lawsuit against the negligent party to help prevent future similar deadly boating accidents.  For more information on Texas boat accident lawsuits, please feel free to send an e-mail message to Austin Texas Boat Accident Lawyer and Texas Marina Boat Accident Lawyer Jason Coomer for a free review of a potential Texas boating accident lawsuit or go to the following web page: Texas Boating Accident Lawyer and Texas Boat Rental Accident Lawyer.

Texas Drowning Accidents and Texas Fatal Drowning Accidents Caused By Defective Pool Drains, Defective Pool Fences, Over Served Alcohol, and Negligent Supervision Should be Investigated by Austin Texas Drowning Accident Lawyer Jason S. Coomer

In Texas, because of the extreme heat that we experience several months of the year it is understandable why many Texans head to swimming pools, lakes, and rivers for water sports to cool off.  However, safety should always be a priority when dealing with swimming pools and water sports.  This is because drowning accidents, boating accidents, and pool accidents are all too common of a killer, especially for small children.  Whether a near drowning, actual drowning, or other serious injury is caused by an incorrectly installed pool, poorly maintained pool, failure of life guards, improperly fenced pool, negligent boater, drunk boater, or other safety violations, it is important that any drowning or near drowning accident is investigated so that an additional drowning does not occur in the future.  

If you or a loved one has suffered a serious injury from a defective pool, negligent supervision, or other negligence, please make sure that the incident is reported and a proper investigation is made to determine what caused the drowning accident and to ensure that the drowning accident does not happen again.  For more information on a Texas Drowning Accident Lawsuit,  please feel free to send an e-mail to Texas Swimming Pool Accident Lawyer Jason Coomer or go to the following web page:

Changes in Texas Law Have Made Texas Birth Injury Lawsuits and Texas Infant Death Lawsuits More Difficult However These Lawsuits Are Important To Prevent Future Negligence by Texas Birth Injury Lawyer and Texas Infant Death Lawyer Jason S. Coomer

Texas Birth Injury Lawsuits and Texas Infant Death Lawsuits Can Be Caused By Medical Mistakes, Physician Mistakes, and Doctor Errors: Filing A Lawsuit Can Help Prevent Future Similar Injuries to Children and Child Deaths by Texas Birth Injury Lawyer, Texas Defective Drug Birth Defect Lawyer, and Texas Infant Death Lawyer Jason S. Coomer

Texas birth injury lawsuits, Texas small child injury lawsuits, Texas small child death lawsuits, and Texas infant death lawsuits are some of the most difficult types of Texas lawsuits to handle because of economic restraints and emotional issues.  The economic restraints that have been placed on these cases by the Texas Supreme Court and Texas Legislature have substantially increased the cost of filing and litigating these cases as well as have substantially reduced the compensation that families can receive for the death, pain and suffering, and mental anguish of their child.   

These cases also have a difficult emotional aspect that goes along with them.  Parents and families who should be celebrating the birth of a new child or enjoying their young child, are often caught off guard when their child dies or suffers severe disabilities.  It is often all the parents can do to grieve their loss or take care of their injured child.  Many don't realize that someone may be responsible for their child's death, birth injury or birth defect.  The family often does not have the time or energy to file a claim or seek justice for the negligence which can bring light to the mistakes or defective product that crippled or killed their child.  However, it is important for these families to act to prevent similar mistakes from killing or crippling other children.

If you believe that your child has suffered a birth injury or your family has lost an infant or small child as a result of a medical mistake, hospital error, negligent act, or defective drug, it is important that you come forward and expose the negligence, mistake, or defective drug that caused the birth injury or loss.  For more information on Texas medical mistake infant death lawsuits, Texas birth injury lawsuits, and Texas defective drug birth defect lawsuits, please feel free to send an e-mail to Texas Birth Injury Lawyer and Texas Infant Death Lawyer Jason S. Coomer  or go to the following web page: Texas Birth Injury Lawyer and Texas Infant Death Lawyer.
