Texas Stressed Property Lawyer Helps Families Transfer Texas Real Estate Through Probate by Texas Stressed Property Lawyer and Texas Real Estate Inheritance Lawyer

Texas Stressed Property Lawyer Helps Families Determine How Real Estate Inheritance is Transferred to Beneficiaries and Heirs Upon The Death of A Loved One Texas Stressed Property Lawyer,Texas Real Estate Inheritance Lawyer, and Texas Family Inheritance Lawyer Jason S. Coomer

In a growing number of Texas families, family wealth and inheritance gets stuck or trapped before it can be transferred or collected by a loved one's rightful heirs or beneficiaries.  Several reasons can cause assets to become stuck during the inheritance process including lack of information regarding the assets or Texas probate process, missing heirs or beneficiaries, fighting heirs and beneficiaries, proximity of heirs and beneficiaries, and lack of resources to move inheritance through the Texas probate process. A good Texas inheritance lawyer can often help resolve many of these issues allowing inherited property to become unstuck and to be passed to rightful heirs and beneficiaries.  For more information on this topic, please go to the following web page on Texas Stressed Property Lawyer Information.

Lack of Information Regarding Inheritance and Probate Assets

The issue of lack of information regarding inheritance and probate assets can often cause inheritance to become stuck or even lost.  Communication, research, and obtaining possession of crucial documents are typically the best method of resolving this issue.  Communication by the decedent or the loved ones of the decedent can often prevent assets from becoming stuck or lost.  By leaving an inventory of assets or at least some documents with an inventory of assets, a person can often prevent the loss of their assets after they pass.  However, in some situations the person that has died was battling significant health problems prior to their death, died unexpectedly, or became incompetent prior to their passing.  In these situations, it is often necessary to piece together assets through collection of documents and research.

Lack of Resources and Contingent Contracts

In some situations, heirs and beneficiaries cannot afford the cost of probate and other transfer costs.  In these situations, a Texas Contingent Probate Lawyer who works on a percentage of the estate property can often help heirs and beneficiaries transfer estate property to rightful heirs and beneficiaries. In these situations, the Texas Contingent Probate Lawyer will typically need to see that there are actual significant assets in the estate and who the rightful heirs and beneficiaries are of the estate prior to agreeing to a contingent contract arrangement.  In these cases, bank statements, life insurance policies, royalty statements, mutual fund statements, retirement fund statements, real property deeds, property tax information, and other evidence of the estate assets can be useful in determining the approximate value of the estate and if a contingent contract for probating the estate can be viable.  For more information on a Texas Contingent Probate Lawsuit or Texas Contingent Non-Probate Matter, please feel free to go to the following web page:  Texas Contingent Probate Lawyer and Death Benefit Collection Lawyer.

Texas Early Deployment Airbag Accident Lawyer Driver Safety Alert by Texas Defective Early and Unnecessary Deployment Airbag Accident Lawyer

Driver Early and Unnecessary Airbag Deployment Safety Alert: Defective Airbags That Can Cause Unnecessary and Early Deployment Have Been Installed in Millions of Vehicles Causing Airbag Early Deployment Accidents by Texas Early Deployment Airbag Accident Lawyer and Texas Unnecessary Deployment Airbag Crash Lawyer Jason S. Coomer

Drivers should be aware that millions of vehicles in the United States have defective airbags with an explosive compound that can cause unnecessary or early deployment of airbags.  These defective airbags are especially dangerous in Texas and other hot climates because the defective airbags degrade in hot and humid climates.  All drivers should be aware as to if their vehicle has defective airbags and if their vehicle is subject to a recall.  For more information on this topic please go to the following web page with information regarding effected vehicles and recalls: Driver Safety Exploding Airbag Alert: Texas Exploding Airbag Accident Lawyer.

Automobile Airbags Should be Designed to Protect Vehicle 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. 

Defective Airbag Lawsuits

However, defective airbags can cause accidents through early or unnecessary deployment resulting in serious injury or death.  Defective airbag product liability lawsuits are complicated product liability lawsuits that typically require catastrophic injuries or fatal injuries to pursue.  These defective airbag lawsuits often include a failure of the airbag to deploy or a defective deployment of the airbag.  In investigating these cases it is important to be able to obtain the crash vehicle and determine if there was a defective airbag that killed one or more of the occupants in the vehicle or cause unnecessary serious injuries to the driver or passenger.  For more information on fatal and serious injury defective airbag lawsuits, please go to the following web page: Texas Defective Airbag Fatal Accident Lawyer and Texas Defective Airbag Accident Serious Injury and Deadly Accident Lawyer.

Child Button Battery Lawsuits and Defective Toy Lawsuits by Texas Button Battery Lawyer and Defective Toy Lawyer

Child Button Battery Health Alert: Defective Button Battery Toys and Other Button Battery Products Can Cause Significant Injuries to Infants and Young Children by Texas Defective Toy Lawyer and Texas Button Battery Defective Product Lawyer Jason S. Coomer

With the increased use of button batteries in several types of products has come an increased health risk to infants and young children.  This risk is from defective toys, defective baby monitors, and other defective products that have easy accessible battery compartments with button batteries that allow infants and young children to access button batteries and potentially swallow the batteries.  Once an infant or young child ingests or inserts one or more button batteries into them, it can case significant injuries or even death. 

Parents and other caretakers of young children should be made aware of this potential button battery danger and makers of toys and other products used by or around young children should ensure that proper measures are taken to protect young children from this danger.  For more information on this topic, please go to the following web page: Button Battery Health Risk: Defective Toy Button Battery Lawyer.

Dangerous and Defective Products Including Defective Toys, Defective Baby Monitors, Defective Flashlights, Defective Cribs, and Defective Car Seats That Are Unreasonably Dangerous to Small Children Should be Reported to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission

Dangerous and defective products including dangerous button battery toys, defective cribs, defective button battery children's products, and defective car seats should be properly reported to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.  Additionally, product recalls are listed on the Consumer Product Safety Commission's website and can be a useful resource in ensuring that your home or business is safe for young children.  It is also important to check the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission to make sure that the toys, car seats, food, and cribs that you are buying are safe and have no known safety defects.

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

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.

Ovarian Cancer Health Risk from Talcum Powder: Women Using Talcum Powder Including Johnson's Baby Powder and Shower-to-Shower Products Should Be Aware of a Potential Increased Ovarian Cancer Health Risk That May Be Caused By Use of Talcum Powder Products by Talcum Powder Ovarian Cancer Lawyer Jason Coomer

Two recent multi-million dollar verdicts against Johnson & Johnson have found that this manufacturer of talcum powder products has failed to adequately warn women regarding the potential danger of an ovarian cancer health risk for women using these products.  These verdicts have led to over a thousand lawsuits being filed against Johnson & Johnson by women with ovarian cancer and families of women who have died from ovarian cancer.  For more information on this topic, please go to the following web page: Ovarian Cancer Talcum Powder Lawsuit Information.

Early Detection of Ovarian Cancer Can Save Lives & Increase a Woman's Chance of Survival

Ovarian cancer is a hard to detect form of cancer that forms in a woman's ovary. It commonly results in abnormal cells that have the ability to metastasize to other parts of a woman's body.  When ovarian cancer begins, there may be no or only vague symptoms. Symptoms do become more noticeable as the cancer progresses. These symptoms may include bloating, pelvic pain, abdominal swelling, and loss of appetite, among others. Common areas to which the cancer may spread include the lining of the abdomen, lining of the bowel and bladder, lymph nodes, lungs, and liver.

If ovarian cancer is caught and treated in an early stage, it may be curable. Treatment usually includes some combination of surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. Outcomes depend on the extent of the disease and the subtype of the cancer present. The overall five-year survival rate in the United States is 45%.
