Mesothelioma & Asbestos

The number of people diagnosed with asbestos caused diseases in the U.S. continues to increase. Experts believe 60,000 mesothelioma deaths will occur between 2010 and 2030.

Industrial Accidents

Work related injuries harm up to 14 million people annually, with harms including traumatic brain injuries, spinal injuries, amputations, burns, and electrocutions. Around 20,000 to 60,000 workers die each year from accidents, toxins, and violence at their jobs.

Product Defects

Millions of consumers and workers are injured each year because of defective products. Defects can occur when a product is designed poorly, when a product is manufactured in a manner that differs from the intended design, or when the product does not contain proper warnings or instructions. Defects can occur in automobiles, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, construction equipment, toys, and other goods.

Nursing Home Abuse

Between 1.5 and 2 million elderly reside in nursing home facilities, with studies revealing that 44% have suffered some form of abuse. Many believe the actual number of residents suffering abuse is much higher. Neglect and abuse may result in serious emotional, physical, and financial harm

The Never-Ending Deposition: The Need for Deposition Time Limitations

The Never-Ending Deposition: The Need for Deposition Time Limitations (Advocate Article)
Published by Consumer Attorneys Association of Los Angeles

Because there are currently no pre-set limitations on the length of depositions in California, attorneys must be vigilant in protecting their clients from the abusive trend of extending depositions for absurd amounts of time, especially in the case of dying plaintiffs. As the authors point out, California’s practices buck the national trend toward limiting the total amount of deposition time.
