SEC Bounty Actions and Confidential Reviews: New SEC Bounty Action Laws Help Protect The Identity of SEC Whistleblowers by SEC Bounty Action Whistleblower Reward Lawyer Jason S. Coomer


SEC Bounty Action Whistleblowers can work through a lawyer to have a potential bounty action confidentially reviewed prior to exposing their identity.  This protection of a whistleblower's identity combined with large potential rewards that a whistleblower may receive for properly exposing SEC violations are intended to encourage high end financial professionals and investors to step forward and expose significant securities and investment fraud schemes.

Persons with evidence of  securities fraud, insider trading, false information on SEC filings, insider trading; stock manipulation schemes, embezzlement by stockbrokers, or other securities fraud schemes, should contact a SEC Whistleblower lawyer to confidentially review their potential case.

SEC Fraud Whistleblower Bounty Actions Are Designed to Expose Significant SEC Violations and Provide Large Financial Rewards For People That Are The Original Source of Information That Expose The Fraud Against The SEC

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.

By creating whistleblower bounties for investors and people with specific information of fraud, it is expected that hard to detect fraud will be exposed 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.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and SEC Whistleblower Incentive Program

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (frequently abbreviated SEC) is a federal agency which holds primary responsibility for enforcing the federal securities laws and regulating the securities industry, the nation's stock and options exchanges, and other electronic securities markets in the United States. The mission of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is to protect investors, maintain fair, orderly, and efficient markets, and facilitate capital formation.

In July 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act was signed into law which includes significant new financial fraud bounty whistleblower provisions.  These provisions create economic incentives for SEC violation whistleblowers and other financial fraud whistleblowers with "original information" of SEC violations and financial fraud to blow the on large scale financial fraud and SEC violations.

These SEC bounty claims must be brought voluntarily under the SEC Bounty Programs by one or more individuals.  The whistleblower or whistleblowers must be a natural person or natural persons, companies or other entity is not eligible to be financial fraud bounty whistleblowers.  Successful SEC violation bounty whistleblowers and financial fraud whistleblowers can collect financial rewards for whistleblower bounty actions that result in the imposition of monetary sanctions of greater than $1 million dollars.  This new financial fraud SEC bounty program is called the "Securities Whistleblower Incentives and Protection".

Through SEC Whistleblower Bounty Actions the SEC will award between ten percent and thirty percent of the money collected to a qualified whistleblower who voluntarily provides the SEC with original information about a violation of the securities laws that leads to a successful enforcement of an action brought by the SEC that results in monetary sanctions exceeding $1,000,000.00. 

So long as the financial fraud whistleblower or financial fraud whistleblowers base their claims on "original information", any person (not just an employee or insider) may file a SEC financial fraud bounty claim.  Further, if the financial fraud whistleblower is represented by an attorney, the whistleblower may file the financial fraud bounty claim anonymously.  However, before the financial fraud bounty award is paid, the whistleblower's identity shall be revealed to the SEC and SEC shall be provided information about the whistleblower that it requests.

Texas Probate Litigation Lawyer: Several Factors Can Create a Contested Probate Lawsuit by Texas Probate Litigation Lawyer Jason S. Coomer

Texas Probate Litigation Lawyer:  Several Factors Can Create a Contested Probate Situation Where Family Members and Beneficiaries Are Drawn into a Texas Probate Litigation Lawsuit  by Texas Probate Litigation Lawyer Jason S. Coomer
Several situations can create an environment for contested probate litigation between family members or between family members and beneficiaries.  These factors can include a communication failure or lack of estate planning by a decedent (failure to wishes prior to death), "do it yourself" Wills, discovery of new family wealth including mineral interests, unreasonable family members, greedy opportunists, and the proximity of families living in different locations.  These factors often can create an environment where a contested probate lawsuit is necessary.

For questions on a Texas probate litigation matter including Texas contested and uncontested probate lawsuits, inheritance, and estate matters, please feel free to send an e-mail to Texas Probate Litigation Lawyer Jason S. Coomer.

The Most Common Scenario For Contested Probate Litigation

The most common contested probate scenario occurs when an aging or elderly person with limited capacity signs a new Will during the last year of their life and the new Will drastically changes the disposition of inheritance.  This can shift of disposition can sometimes be the result of elderly person appreciating the help and companionship of those taking care of them and providing support during their later years.  However, in other situations, the elderly person was forced, coerced, or fraudulently tricked into signing a Will by someone who is close to them or wants to take advantage of them.  In the later situation, the person exerting undue influence on the elderly person can be a family member or an outsider that has access to the elderly person and is taking advantage of a person with limited memory or capacity.

For family members that live in different cities, states, or countries, it is often difficult to determine if the change of disposition was intended.  From a legal perspective, the key issue in these situations is to determine if the testamentary disposition is the result of undue influence or incompetence, and if so should the Will be held to be invalid?  
Many Families have Spread Out Across The United States and Throughout the World, Therefore it is Often Helpful to Hire a Texas Probate Lawyer to Assist with the Texas Probate Process and to Handle Estate Issues

Many families have spread out throughout the United States and around the World. For many families, gone is the time where several generations live with in a few miles of each other in the same town, city, or county. This lack of proximity can make it difficult, when a family member becomes incapacitated or passes away. This can be especially true when a new Will pops up that disinherits relatives living in other states or other parts of the World in favor of someone that has had access and influence over the decedent. 
In these situations, the family members that live out of state are often caught off guard and need help from a Texas probate litigation lawyer that is familiar with the Texas probate process, Texas probate law, Texas guardianship issues, and Texas probate courts.  For these family members, it can be extremely important to act quickly and hire a Texas probate litigation lawyer that can help expose an invalid or fraudulent Will.
With The Growing Popularity of "Do It Yourself" Wills Texas Will Contests, Fraudulent Wills, Forged Wills, and other Texas Contested Probate Lawsuits will become More Common

As "do it yourself" Wills and other "do it yourself" estate planning packages become more popular, many Texas families are opting to save money in the short term by using these cheap Will packages.  However, some of these "do it yourself" Wills are not compliant under Texas probate law and do not come with a Texas probate lawyer that can make sure that a valid Texas will has been created.  In some of these situations, the "do it yourself" Will can be determined to be an invalid Will and can result in the Will being thrown out and a prior Will or no Will being able to be probated.  In both instances, the wishes of the decedent will not be adhered to and either earlier testate dispositions will be used or Texas intestate dispositions will be used.
Both earlier testate dispositions and Texas intestate dispositions can cause a huge change in inheritance and can cause some beneficiaries and heirs to lose a significant amount of inheritance.  These shifts in inheritance can often result in Texas contested probate lawsuits.

Failure to Communicate and An Unexpected Death Can Often Result In Texas Contested Probate Litigation


All too often a loved dies unexpectedly and does not leave a Will or any directions on what needs to be done if they die.  In these situations, a Texas Probate Court will apply intestate statutes to determine the rightful heirs of the decedent's property.  For more information on Texas intestate law distribution feel free to go to the following web page Texas intestate law.  In these situations where the decedent has substantial wealth and real property, the decedent's estate will often have to go through the Texas Probate Courts to determine who the proper heirs are, to settle the decedent's estate, and transfer wealth to the rightful heirs.  For more information on this process, feel free to go to this web page on Texas Suits to Determine Heirs.

On other occasions the death of a loved one brings in estranged family, fraudulent claims of inheritance, and opportunists that prey on the elderly and disabled or those left behind.   In these cases, it can be difficult to gather up information on what property is in their estate or to fight off aggressive family members from wrongfully taking inheritance.  In these situations, it is often best to have an experienced Texas Contested Probate Lawyer help you through the probate process and explain your rights and what needs to be done to protect the rightful heirs and beneficiaries of an estate.

Texas Shareholder Suppression Lawsuits: Majority Shareholders and Directors That Commit Corporate Malfeasance, Fraud, and Breach of Fiduciary Duty Can Often Be Held Liable Through Texas Shareholder Lawsuits by Texas Shareholder Suppression Lawyer Jason S. Coomer

Texas Shareholder Suppression Lawsuits: Majority Shareholders and Directors That Commit Corporate Malfeasance, Fraud, and Breach of Fiduciary Duty Can Often Be Held Liable Through Texas Shareholder Actions by Texas Shareholder Suppression Lawyer Jason S. Coomer

Majority shareholders sometimes wrongfully and fraudulently use their controlling interest in a company for their own benefit at the expense of minority shareholders.  When a majority shareholder commits corporate malfeasance, fraud, or breach of fiduciary duty, minority shareholders may have a viable shareholder suppression lawsuit against the majority shareholder. 

If you have a questions about a Texas shareholder suppression lawsuit or other Texas business fraud lawsuit, please feel free to send an e-mail to Texas Shareholder Suppression Lawyer Jason Coomer or go to the following web pages: Texas Shareholder Suppression Lawsuit Information and Texas Business Tort Lawsuit Information.

In any Texas shareholder suppression lawsuit, corporate malfeasance lawsuit, or breach of fiduciary duty lawsuit, it is important to understand the rights, fiduciary duties, and responsibilities of the majority shareholders, board of directors, managing partners, corporate officers, corporate counsel, chief financial officers, and managers.  It is also important to obtain as much evidence of the malfeasance, self dealing, fraud against shareholders, wrongful suppression, embezzlement, or other bad acts as possible prior to the start of litigation.  In many of these cases, once litigation has begun, obtaining evidence of the unlawful and bad acts are difficult and heated battles as many documents begin to disappear and proving spoliation becomes a key issue.  The term spoliation broadly refers to the intentional, reckless, or negligent destruction, loss, material alteration or obstruction of evidence that is relevant to litigation.

Diabetes Drugs and Pancreatic Cancer: Incretin Mimetic Class Drugs May Cause An Increased Risk of Pancreatic Cancer by Diabetes Drug Cancer Lawyer Jason S. Coomer

Diabetes Drugs and Pancreatic Cancer: Incretin Mimetic Class Drugs May Cause An Increased Risk of Pancreatic Cancer by Diabetes Drug Cancer Lawyer Jason S. Coomer
 
Recent scientific studies have shown that some diabetes drugs in the incretin mimetic class may cause an increased health risk of pancreatic cancer and pancreatitis.  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.
 
If you have been taking a diabetes drug and have been diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer or you have lost a loved one who 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.   For more information on diabetes drug pancreatic cancer lawsuits, please feel free to send an e-mail message to Pancreatic Cancer Lawyer Jason Coomer or go to the following pages: Januvia, Janument, Victoza, Byetta, Onglyza, Bydureon, and diabetes drugs.

Residential Fires Can Cause Devastating Loss Including Loss of Life, Serious Injuries, Loss of Home, Loss of Business, Damage to Property, and Loss of Possesions

Recovering from a home fire, can be difficult.  Not only can there be the loss of life or serious injuries to deal with, but dealing with the loss of a home and a life time of possessions can be destabilizing resulting in delays in rebuilding.  It is often extremely difficult to clean up the charred remains of your home, then deal with the process of rebuilding and replacing everything. 

From the fire damage to smoke and fire suppression damage, residential fires typically require significant resources to clean up and rebuild the home.  As such, it can be extremely difficult to deal not only with the loss of life, injuries, and damages, but to also deal with the contractors, builders, insurance company, and other large companies to rebuild what they have lost and replace their losses.  For some, it is not until several months or years later that they are ready to deal with a potential lawsuit to seek compensation for their losses.    However, for those that wait too long, they can be barred from any recovery at all.

If you or a loved one have suffered serious injuries, lost a loved one in a residential fire, or have lost property from a fire, and have questions about seeking compensation, please feel free to send an e-mail message to Texas Residential Fire Lawyer, Jason S. Coomer or please go to the following web pages:

Industrial accidents and other mass tort claims including chemical plant explosions, chemical releases, refinery explosions, large warehouse fires, and pipeline explosions cause mass destruction including death, personal injuries, and significant damage.  Because of our global economy, these industrial accidents can take place any place in the United States or in the World, but be caused by greedy corporations and negligent people in Texas or other parts of the United States.  In many instances following a large industrial accident the families of the victims have a difficult time locating a Texas Industrial Accident Lawyer or United States Industrial Accident Lawyer to handle accidental death claims, personal injury claims, or property damage claims against Texas corporations or United States corporations that made negligent safety decisions.  By working with other Texas Industrial Accident Lawyers and United States Industrial Accident Lawyers, Jason Coomer is often able to assist people that have suffered the loss of family members, serious personal injuries, and significant property damage from large industrial accidents. 

Under Texas law those that make money and control heavy industries have a duty to be aware of potential dangers.  They also have a duty to actively work to minimize dangers that they are aware of that could kill, poison, burn, or injure people or cause significant damage to property.  Further, careless people or businesses that have made decisions to save money and these decisions have resulted in a catastrophic industrial accident should be held responsible for there actions.  Families, businesses, and communities that have suffered significant damages from large explosions, chemical spills, fires, train derailment, flooding, or other large industrial accident need to be compensated.  In some circumstances injured people, the family of a lost loved one, or a businesses can recover damages under Texas law.  

Texas Fatal Plant Explosion Lawsuits, Texas Fatal Refinery Explosion Lawsuits, and other Texas Deadly Industrial Accident Lawsuits

Texas Fatal Plant Explosion Lawsuits, Texas Fatal Refinery Explosion Lawsuits, and other Texas Fatal Industrial Accident Lawsuits include different types of potential death claims and different types of compensation that can be obtained through the Texas legal system.  It is important to properly investigate all potential death claims under Texas law.  

Under Texas law there are two main types of death actions, there is the wrongful death claim that is available to the spouse, parents, and children of a person that has been wrongfully killed by the negligent actions of another. There is also a survival action that  passes through the decedent's estate and allows the heirs or beneficiaries of a decedent to seek compensation. 

Texas Wrongful Death Claims Are a Type of Legal Claim That Can Be Filed In An Texas Accident Death Lawsuit by the Family of A Person Wrongfully Killed

The Texas Wrongful Death Claim seeks money compensation for the parents, spouse and children of the decedent based on a variety of factors including:

 - Loss of love, companionship, comfort, assistance, protection, affection or care 
 - Loss of financial support
 - Lost benefits, such as insurance, from the death
 - Loss of inheritance from an untimely death

Texas Wrongful Death Claims are created by Texas law for the intentional or negligent killing of a person.  These claims are usually sought through filing a Texas Wrongful Death Lawsuit.

Texas Survival Actions or Texas Estate Claims Are a Type of Legal Claim That Can Be Filed In An Texas Accident Death Lawsuit by the Heirs or Beneficiaries of a Person Wrongfully Killed

Texas survival actions or Texas Estate claims are claims for what the decedent would have recovered had the person survived the accident.  These claims travel through the decedent's estate and either go to their heirs or beneficiaries depending if the person had done any estate planning.  These damages include:

- Expenses associated with the death including funeral costs
- Medical expenses prior to the death
- Pain and suffering associated with the untimely death
To obtain survival accident damages, it is typically necessary to file a probate lawsuit to establish an estate administrator or executor and to determine who a person's lawful heirs or beneficiaries were at the time they were wrongfully killed.

Pancreatic Cancer and Diabetes Drugs: Large Profits Encourage Drug Companies To Sell Dangerous Diabetes Drugs by Pancreatic Cancer Diabetes Drug Lawyer

Pancreatic Cancer and Diabetes Drugs: The Diabetes Drug Market is Over $40 Billion Each Year and Growing Rapidly Encouraging Drug Companies To Push Dangerous Diabetes Drugs To Increase Profits by Pancreatic Cancer Diabetes Drug Lawyer Jason S. Coomer

More than 300 million people worldwide suffer from diabetes, including about 30 million Americans.  In 2010, the global prevalence of diabetes was estimated to have reached 285 million and is predicted to reach 438 million by 2030. The corresponding figures for North America were 37.4 million in 2010 and 53.2 million by 2030 and in Europe 55.2 million in 2010 and 66.2 million in 2030.  The global market for products in the management of diabetes currently stands at $41 billion and is on pace to grow to over $114 billion by 2018. As such, several drug companies are pushing hard to capture a large part of the profitable diabetes drug market regardless as to the safety of their drug.

Pancreatic Cancer and Diabetes Drugs: Several Different Types of Diabetes Drugs Have Been Shown To Cause An Increased Risk of Pancreatic Cancer

Recent scientific studies have shown that several diabetes drugs may cause an increased risk of pancreatic cancer.  People that are taking Onglyza, Tradjenta, Bydureon, Oseni, Byetta, Victoza, Januvia, or Janumet should be aware of the potential dangers of these drugs and should discuss the potential dangers of these drugs with their physician.  

If you have lost a loved one from Pancreatic Cancer who was taking a diabetes drug or you have been taking a diabetes drug and have been diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer, please report the adverse action to the prescribing medical doctor and FDA as soon as possible.  Attorneys are in the process of filing and reviewing lawsuits where a person has developed pancreatic cancer after taking Onglyza, Tradjenta, Bydureon, Oseni, Byetta, Victoza, Januvia, and/or Janumet. For more information on this topic, please feel free to contact Diabetic Drug Pancreatic Cancer Lawyer, Jason S. Coomer or go to the following webpage: Pancreatic Cancer Lawsuit Information.

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.
