We know that you have many choices when seeking competent legal services when you or a loved one has been injured by someone else's negligence. Before you make a decision, please review our information and make sure you make an INFORMED decision.
Every day someone is hurt by a birth injury, car crash, truck accident, defective product or medical mistake. In fact, recent statistics show that:
- Cerebral Palsy as a result of birth trauma and injury affects approximately 10,000 babies born in the United States each year causing permanent brain damage.
- Defective medical devices and drugs are responsible for thousands of death and permanent injuries each year despite receiving approval from the FDA. Some drugs, like Yaz and Yasmin, never received FDA approval for uses that were marketed to the public.
- There were 25,952 injury crashes in 2007 involving semi-trucks.
- 1 out of every 10 patients who died within 90 days of surgery did so because of a preventable medical error. More than 90,000 patients die each year from medical malpractice.
- Each year thousands of families are hurt by dangerous conditions at hotels, stores, swimming pools and amusement parks including carbon monoxide poisoning, mold exposure, defective construction.
These statistics are alarming. Even though the causes of injuries may vary, negligence is often a common factor. A negligent doctor, hospital, driver or manufacturer can cause serious harm. Severe injuries are usually accompanied by substantial medical expenses and in some cases, lost wages.

K2 Spice Herbal Incense Cases
Several “herbal incense” products sold as K2 or Spice (usually Spice Gold) have permeated the media over the last year, in the US at least, as legal alternatives to marijuana. These products contain one or more synthetic chemicals designed to bind the same cannabinoid receptors in the brain as those affected by the active compounds in marijuana. These synthetic compounds, called cannabimimetics, do not have the same chemical structure as marijuana’s THC but still have equal or greater potency and effectiveness.
There is a disturbing possibility that these products may be the cause of some recent deaths and injuries. Our firm is currently representing clients who have suffered such injuries. If you or a loved one has suffered such a loss please contact us immediately.
Skecher Shape Ups and Toning Shoes
Doctors warn that toning shoes create their advertised benefit by destabilizing how a person walks and say that wearing the shoes can result in strained Achilles tendons. Doctors also says the shoes can be a particular problem for older consumers or those who have difficulty keeping their balance. Some patients report strained tendons, fractures in their ankles, knees and hips.
Instant Noodle Soup Cup Cases
Instant noodle soup cups tip over easily due to their design causing severe burns. Children are the most frequent victims of this type of injury. The director of a major burn unit has reported that in one out of every 5 cases surgery is eventually required.
Birth Injury
It costs millions of dollars to care for a child with a permanent injury or ailment, such as Cerebral Palsy. Many of the injuries that occur during the birth process could have been prevented. If your child has been the victim of a birth injury, the Law Office of Schachter, Hendy & Johnson can help you.
