Texas Smoke Inhalation Lawyer Helps Individuals Who Have Suffered Smoke Inhalation, Hypoxia, and Serious Burns by Texas Smoke Inhalation Lawyer

Texas Smoke Inhalation Lawyer Represents Individuals and Families of People Who Have Suffered Severe Smoke Inhalation, Hypoxia, and Serious Burns by Texas Smoke Inhalation Lawyer, Texas Serious Burn Lawyer, and Texas Hypoxia Lawyer Jason S. Coomer

Smoke inhalation from an accidental fire can cause difficulty breathing, hypoxia, carbon monoxide poisoning, and other health issues that can result in serious injuries or even death.  In handling Texas house fires lawsuits, Texas apartment fire lawsuits, and other Texas residential fire lawsuits as well as on Texas industrial explosion lawsuits; Texas smoke inhalation lawyers work with fire experts to determine the cause and origin of fires; medical professionals to prove up necessary medical treatment for those injured in fires; and insurance companies, witnesses, families, and parties to seek compensation for those injured by accidental fires.

Smoke Inhalation Can Cause Death or Severe Injuries

Smoke inhalation occurs when a person breathes in smoke or the products of combustion during a fire.  The fire not only uses the surrounding oxygen in the air taking the oxygen that humans need to breathe, but through burning or combustion (the rapid breakdown of a substance by heat) creates smoke which is a mixture of heated particles and gases that are created by burning.


It is impossible to predict the exact composition of smoke produced by a residential fire or industrial fire as every accident fire is different.  The products being burned, the temperature of the fire, and the amount of oxygen available to the fire all make a difference in the type of smoke produced. This is especially true when furniture, appliances, and other items made up of plastic or other chemicals is burned.  The resulting smoke can be filled with irritants or toxins and result in serious respiratory problems or even death.

Smoke inhalation can damage the body by simple asphyxiation (lack of oxygen), chemical irritation, chemical asphyxiation, or a combination of these.  Combustion can use up the oxygen near the fire and lead to death when there is no oxygen for a person to breathe.  Smoke itself can also contain products that do not cause direct harm to a person, but they take up the space that is needed for oxygen. Carbon dioxide acts in this way.

Combustion can also result in the formation of chemicals that cause direct injury when they contact the skin and mucous membranes. These substances disrupt the normal lining of the respiratory tract. This disruption can potentially cause swelling, airway collapse, and respiratory distress. Examples of chemical irritants found in smoke include sulfur dioxide, ammonia, hydrogen chloride, and chlorine.

A fire also can produce compounds that do damage by interfering with the body's oxygen use at a cellular level. Carbon monoxide, hydrogen cyanide, and hydrogen sulfide are all examples of chemicals produced in fires that interfere with the use of oxygen by the cell during the production of energy. If either the delivery of oxygen or the use of oxygen is inhibited, cells will die.


Symptoms and Treatment of Smoke Inhalation


Smoke inhalation can cause health  problems that result in coughing, shortness of breath, hoarseness, headaches, changes in mental status, changes in skin coloration, and passing out. 
The first step in treating a person suffering from smoke inhalation is to remove the person from the smoke-filled environment to a location with clean air.  The second step is to start CPR and make sure that they are getting oxygen.  Oxygen may be applied with a nose tube, mask, or through a tube down the throat. If the patient has signs and symptoms of upper airway problems (hoarseness), they will most likely be intubated. The doctor places a tube down the throat to keep the airway from closing due to swelling.

If the patient has respiratory distress or mental status changes, they may also be intubated to let the staff help with breathing, to suction off mucus, and keep the patient from choking on secretions.  If the smoke inhalation is bad enough, a bronchoscopy may have to be done to directly look at the degree of damage done to the airways and to allow for suctioning of secretions and debris.

SEC Safe Harbor Whistleblower Lawyer Helps Company Insider Whistleblowers Anonymously Report Fraud and Collect Bounty Action Rewards by SEC Safe Harbor Bounty Rewards Lawyer

SEC Safe Harbor Whistleblower Lawyer Helps Company Insider Whistleblowers Anonymously Report Fraud and Collect Bounty Action Rewards by SEC Safe Harbor Bounty Rewards Lawyer Jason Coomer

On April 5, 2018, the Securities and Exchange Commission announced a whistleblower award of more than $2.2 million to a former company insider whose tips helped the agency open an investigation that led to an enforcement action.  The whistleblower first reported the information to another federal agency and later provided the same information to the SEC.

For more information on this topic, please for the following web pages: Expose Investment Fraud and Earn Large Financial Rewards and SEC Reward Lawyer and Bounty Action Reward Lawyer Information.

SEC Safe Harbor Provision Allows Whistleblowers Who Expose Fraud and other Violations To Other Federal Agencies to Also Seek Bounty Action Rewards from the SEC

This is the first award paid under the “safe harbor” of Exchange Act Rule 21F-4(b)(7), which provides that if a whistleblower submits information to another federal agency and submits the same information to the SEC within 120 days, then the SEC will treat the information as though it had been submitted to the SEC at the same time that it was submitted to the other agency.

The whistleblower voluntarily reported information to a federal agency covered by the rule, which referred the matter to the SEC.  The SEC then opened an investigation.  Within 120 days of the initial report, the whistleblower provided the same information to the SEC and later provided substantial cooperation in the investigation.  Although the SEC report came after the staff had opened its investigation, the SEC treated the submission as though it had been made when the whistleblower provided the information to the other agency.

Whistleblower Reward Lawsuits Can Include Government Contractor Fraud Lawsuits, Government Contractor Procurement Fraud Lawsuits, and Government Contractor False Certification Lawsuits

Government contractor procurement fraud and false certification fraud have increased as some government contractors and subcontractors have decided that they can make large profits by defrauding the government. These Fraudulent Contractors provide defective goods, cross charge, make false certifications of services provided, charge for services not provided, charge for goods not provided, violate the Truth-in-Negotiations Act ("TINA"), and make improper cost allocations.  Whistleblowers that have independent knowledge of procurement fraud committed against the government by government contractors and subcontractors can blow the whistle on the procurement fraud and if they are the first to provide notice of the fraud can recover a large financial reward for helping the government identify and stop procurement fraud.

Large Financial Rewards Are Being Offered to Professionals Who Properly Expose Large Scale Defense Contractor Fraud by Texas Government Contractor Whistleblower Lawyer

Large Financial Rewards Are Being Offered to Government Contractors and Information Technology Professionals Who Properly Expose Large Scale Defense Contractor Fraud by Texas Government Contractor Whistleblower Lawyer Jason S. Coomer

The government is offering large financial rewards to people with original knowledge of significant defense contractor fraud including the sale of defective weapons, vehicles, ammunition, technology, and equipment that has been committed by any of these contractors.   These rewards are designed to encourage professionals with original knowledge of large scale government fraud to step forward to expose government fraud.  The first step for many of these professionals is to obtain a confidential review of their potential case to determine if their potential case may be a viable whistleblower reward case.  For more information on this topic, please go to the following web pages: Texas Defense Contractor Fraud Lawyer, Texas Military Contractor False Certification Lawyer, and Whistleblower, False Claims Act & Qui Tam Information.

History of Defense Contractor Fraud and Qui Tam Whistleblower Claims (Lincoln's Law and Battling Corrupt War Profiteers)

During the Civil War, corrupt military contractors were defrauding the United States Army out of hundreds of thousands of dollars and putting troops at risk by supplying troops with defective products and faulty war equipment. Illegal price gouging was a common practice and the armed forces of the United States suffered.  In response, Abraham Lincoln enacted the Federal Civil False Claims Act. A key provision of the act was known as qui tam.


The abbreviation is from Latin and refers to "a person who files a suit for the king as for himself".  Qui tam laws have existed for centuries as deceptive government contractors have been around as long as government contracting has. Qui tam actions allow a private citizen to file a lawsuit on behalf of the U.S. government in an effort to recover losses caused by fraud against the government. The law is an incentive for civilians who know of individuals or companies making false claims for profit to come forward with information. In reward, the "whistleblower" (also known as the relator) shares in any federal revenue recovered.

Seeking Compensation For the Loss of a Loved One After a Fatal Accident

After losing a loved one in an accident, it can be difficult to locate all potential insurance recoveries as well as to prove to insurance companies and guilty defendants the full extent of damages that your family has suffered. 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 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.  This web page is designed to assist Texas families that have had a loved one accidentally killed investigate an accidental death claim and determine if money compensation can be obtained to help offset the damages that have been suffered.

In thoroughly investigating the death of a loved one, it is important to understand the potential different types of compensation that can be obtained through the Texas legal system and insurance policies.  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.
The 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

The survival action 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

In addition to seeking compensation from defendants responsible for the accidental death of a loved one, insurance can often provide compensation for the loss of a loved one.  Accidental Death Policies, Life Insurance Policies, Homeowners Insurance, General Commercial Insurance Policies, and Automobile Accident Policies are all types of insurance that can compensate widows and Texas families for the accidental death of a loved one.  In many instances if the party that killed your loved one is a business corporation, the party will have a general commercial policy of one million dollars to insure them from catastrophic injuries and death.  These policy can sometimes be hidden until a formal demand is made to the company responsible for the death.  Additionally, if the party that accidentally killed your loved one owns a home they will probably have a homeowners insurance policy that may compensate for an accidental death including deaths caused by fire and smoke, an accidental shooting or stray bullet, negligent children, attack dogs, dangerous condition on the property, or other negligence committed by a homeowner.  Like other insurance policies, these policies must be triggered within a certain time of the death and will not be automatically triggered.  A formal demand typically must be made to trigger these insurance policies.


Texas Traffic Death Lawyer and Texas Fatal Traffic Accident Lawyer Represents Families Who Have Lost a Loved One Due to A Texas Fatal Traffic Accident

Unfortunately, fatal traffic accidents are common in Texas and in the Austin, Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio areas.  The combination of a large population, congested traffic, the use of Smart phones and other devices, inexperienced drivers, intoxicated drivers, and distracted drivers have caused numerous fatal traffic accidents.   After a fatal traffic accident, it is important not to delay in seeking compensation as evidence disappears and there are potential statutes of limitations that can prevent recoveries if deadlines are missed.  For this reason, it is often a good idea to hire a lawyer to fight and worry about insurance companies and negligent parties, while the family has time to grieve.

Money laundering refers to a financial transaction scheme that aims to conceal the identity, source, and destination of illicitly-obtained money. The money laundering process can be broken down into three stages. First, the illegal activity that garners the money places it in the hands of a launderer.

Protection of Intellectual Property Including Trade Secrets

As intellectual property including trade secrets owned by a business becomes more valuable and data including trade secrets continue to become easier to steal through technology, it is increasingly important for businesses to protect their intellectual property as well as to make an example of officers, business partners, independent contractors, and employees that steal intellectual property.  To protect a business's intellectual property, it is a good idea to identify and inventory your trade secrets and other valuable intellectual property.  It is also important to evaluate and review your protections and security policies that are in place to maintain the confidentiality of your secrets and other intellectual property.  These protections often include employment and confidentiality agreements which should be review periodically and updated.  It is also important to maintain proper data protection and security protocols to help prevent hacking or other security breaches.  Though these issues can appear tedious, it is often best to prevent a theft of intellectual property rather than try to contain and lock down the intellectual property after it is stolen.    

Texas Theft of Trade Secrets Lawsuits and Texas Breach of Fiduciary Duty Lawsuits

Officers and employees that wrongfully steal intellectual property including theft of trade secrets, customer lists, patents, and copyrights can often be held liable by Texas courts for breach of fiduciary duty, conversion, fraud, and other business torts.  There are also new federal laws that allow federal actions for theft of trade secrets against those that misappropriate trade secrets.  It is important to understand potential venue options when reviewing potential trade secret litigation, especially, when damages are significant.  For more information on this issue, please go to the following web pages: Texas Trade Secret Theft and Business Litigation Lawyer: Corporate Espionage and Theft of Intellectual Property, Texas Business Litigation Lawyer, and Texas Business Tort Lawsuits.

Texas Wealth, Probate, and Inheritance Lawyer Helps Families Protect Wealth and Transfer Texas Real Property and Businesses

Texas Wealth, Probate, and Inheritance Lawyer Helps Families Protect Wealth and Transfer Texas Real Property and Businesses by Texas Wealth, Probate, and Inheritance Lawyer Jason S. Coomer

After a family member dies, the real property, businesses, and other wealth that they owned can often become stuck during the probate process and if proper action is not taken the wealth can be lost or stolen.  Loss of inheritance is especially common when a family member suffers from senility and/or is extremely secretive about their finances before their death and has not left a Will or any instructions as to what they want done with their Texas wealth after they die. 

For information on Texas Wealth, Probate, and Inheritance, please go to the following web page: Texas Probate Lawyer Helps Families, Heirs, and Beneficiaries.

Texas Contingent Inheritance Lawyer and Texas Contingent Inheritance Lawsuits

In some situations family assets cannot get transferred or collected by their rightful heirs or beneficiaries because the heirs and beneficiaries cannot afford the cost of probate and other transfer costs. In these situations, a Texas Contingent Probate Lawyer or Texas Contingent Death Benefit Lawyer that works on a percentage of the estate property can help heirs and beneficiaries transfer estate property to rightful heirs and beneficiaries.

In these situations, the Texas Contingent Probate Lawyer or Texas Contingent Death Benefit 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. 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 follow web page:  Texas Contingent Probate Lawyer and Death Benefit Collection Lawyer.

Over $200 Billion in Wealth is Passed Through Probate and Inheritance Each Year

Inheritance is the practice of passing on wealth or obligations upon the death of an individual.  This allows parents to pass on real estate, mineral interests, royalty rights, land, buildings, houses, businesses, stocks, jewelry, and other wealth to their children and people that they love.  It is estimated that in the United States over $200 Billion each year passed down through inheritance to heirs and beneficiaries.  Through Wills and intestate laws, Texas courts determine who are proper heirs and beneficiaries and allow tremendous amounts of wealth to be inherited each year.  The amount of wealth including real estate, mineral interests, royalty rights, land, buildings, houses, businesses, stocks, jewelry, life insurance, bonds, and gold that will be passed through inheritance is expected to continue to increase in the next 20 years as Trillions of Dollars in wealth is passed on through inheritance. 

A Significant Amount of Wealth is Lost or Stolen

Unfortunately, a good portion of this wealth will be lost or stolen as rightful heirs, lawful will beneficiaries, and rightful trust beneficiaries are unable to locate or claim family wealth or even worse vultures or corporations steal family wealth.  To help prevent lost or stolen wealth, it is important to keep records and an inventory of all family wealth including real estate, mineral interests, royalty rights, land, buildings, houses, businesses, stocks, jewelry, life insurance, bonds, and gold.  It is also important to make sure that this information can be recovered by loved ones in case of an unexpected death or incapacity.

International Bribe Lawyer Helps Expose Large International Bribery Schemes and Helps Whistleblowers Collect Rewards by Texas International Bribe Lawyer

International Bribe Lawyer Helps Clients Around The World and Works with Other International Lawyers Throughout the World Expose Large International Bribery Schemes and Collect Rewards for Exposing International Corruption by Texas International Bribe Lawyer Jason S. Coomer

Over the past decade many countries around the World have enacted anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws that prevent multinational corporations and other powerful interests from bribing government officials to obtain government contracts and for other government benefits.  These laws have helped expose several billion dollars in corruption and have forced several large corporations to pay billions for their corrupt practices.  By combining these anti-bribery laws with some bounty action and whistleblower laws that have been enacted in the United States, some individuals can not only expose large bribery schemes, but can also potentially collect large rewards for exposing large international bribery schemes.

These reward laws can be extremely complicated and usually require original information of the bribery scheme which is not known by the press or available to the public.  These reward laws also require the bribery schemes to be extremely large over at least $1 million and typically over $10 million.  The reward laws also typically have a first to file provision that means that the first person or corporation to properly expose the illegal conduct is who can recover the reward.

There are several reward laws and each has several requirements and restrictions.  Some allow anonymous reporting, while others do not.  For more information on exposing international bribes and potentially collecting a reward for exposing corruption, please go to the following web pages: International Whistleblower Rewards and Texas International Bribery Lawyer

As such, several international whistleblower reward laws have been enacted and are being enforced to expose illegal bribes, kickbacks, and other illicit payments that falsely certify products and allow products to illegally pass through international ports. These laws prevent government corruption including illegal payments to customs agents, bribes for port construction contracts, illegal kickbacks for regulatory approval, and other illegal business practices. Through the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), whistleblowers are encouraged to step up and confidentially report corruption.

Texas Pancreatic Cancer Lawyer: Persons Taking Januvia, Janument, Victoza, Byetta, Onglyza, Tradjenta, Bydureon, Oseni, and Other Diabetes Drugs Should Be Aware of Cancer Risk by Texas Pancreatic Cancer Lawyer

Texas Pancreatic Cancer Lawyer: Persons Taking Diabetes Drugs Including Januvia, Janument, Victoza, Byetta, Onglyza, Tradjenta, Bydureon, Oseni, and Other Diabetes Drugs Should Be Aware of Cancer Risk by Texas Pancreatic Cancer Lawyer Jason S. Coomer

Recent scientific studies have shown that several diabetes drugs may cause an increased risk of pancreatic cancer.  Persons taking Januvia, Janument, Victoza, Byetta, Onglyza, Tradjenta, Bydureon, Oseni, and other diabetes drugs should be aware of the potential dangers.  If you are taking these diabetes drugs, it is important to discuss the potential health risks with your medical providers and to be aware of any symptoms of pancreatic cancer you may experience.  For more information on this topic, please go to the following web page: Pancreatic Cancer Health Risk Caused by Diabetes Drugs.

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.

Incretin Diabetes Drugs May Cause An Increased Risk of Pancreatic Cancer  

Diabetes drugs in the incretin mimetic class may cause an increased health risk of pancreatic cancer and pancreatitis.  These incretin diabetes drug include exenatide (Byetta, Bydureon), liraglutide (Victoza), sitagliptin (Januvia, Janumet, Janumet XR, Juvisync), saxagliptin (Onglyza, Kombiglyze XR), alogliptin (Nesina, Kazano, Oseni), and linagliptin (Tradjenta, Jentadueto). These drugs work by mimicking the incretin hormones that the body usually produces naturally to stimulate the release of insulin in response to a meal. They are used along with diet and exercise to lower blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes.  Many of these incretin diabetes drugs already include a black box warning regarding thyroid cancer risk, but evidence is growing that these drugs may also create an increased risk of pancreatic cancer. People that are taking incretin diabetes drugs including: Januvia, Janument, Victoza, Byetta, Onglyza, Tradjenta,  Oseni, and other diabetes drugs should be aware of the cancer health risks.
