Nursing Home Lawyer | Nursing Home Lawsuit | Litigation

Nearly 2 million elderly adults live in nursing homes throughout the U.S. A rapidly aging population means thousands more will move to adult care facilities in coming years, and it is predicted that the number of elder abuse cases will also be on the upswing.

Nursing Home Abuse is a Hidden Crime

Unfortunately, reckless and negligent behavior by nursing home staff is the primary cause of such abuse. Elder abuse has been called the hidden crime because it is often difficult to recognize, it has been concealed by nursing home staff, or the victims may be too frightened or incapacitated to communicate the abuse. Nursing home abuse and deaths are rarely detected by government inspectors, assessed by medical examiners, or investigated and prosecuted by law enforcement.

Actos® Bladder Cancer Lawsuit Information

Recently a 10 year study revealed that diabetes patients who took Actos® for an extended period of time may be at risk for developing Bladder Cancer.

In September 2010, the FDA announced that makers of Actos®, Takeda Pharmaceuticals, provided data after five years of the study that suggests there may be a risk of bladder cancer from Actos®. According to the study, if a patient has taken Actos® for more than 24 months, they may be at an increased risk of Bladder Cancer from Actos® side effects.

It appears that this information about the potential risk of Actos® cancer problems has been known to Takeda, manufacturer of Actos®, for a period of time, warnings were provided to consumers and the medical community. Some experts believe that recall should be issued or that new warnings about the risk of bladder cancer from Actos® should be added to the medication.

If you or a loved one has taken Actos® and have symptoms of or have been diagnosed with Bladder Cancer, Contact Peterson & Associates, P.C. for a FREE Actos Bladder Cancer Legal Review >>

Actos® was recently withdrawn from the market in France and Germany due to its association with bladder tumors. Due to these and other serious side effects, the FDA recently announced a link between Actos® and an increased incidence of bladder cancer.

Breaking News from FDA about Yaz & Yasmin!

On December 8, 2011, the FDA convened to review the conflicting data of numerous studies evaluating the risk of venous thromboembolic events (VTEs) associated with Yasmin, Yaz, and other combined oral contraceptives (COCs) that contain drospirenone (DRSP) as the progestin component. The FDA’s expert panel voted 21 to 5 that the current US labels for Bayer’s DRSP containing COCs are currently inadequate and need more information concerning the increased risk of blood clots compared to older contraceptive pills. The FDA’s own study found a 75% increase in the risk of blood clots in women using Bayer’s line of DRSP contraceptives.

Depuy Hip Implant Symptoms & Side Effects | Depuy Hip Lawyer

noreply@blogger.com (Peterson & Associates, P.C.) — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 15:59:00 +0000

The following is an excerpt from the Wall Street Journal :

"The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is taking a close look at all-metal replacement hip implants, which have faced sales pressure amid concerns about metal particles wearing off and causing medical problems.

The FDA on Thursday launched a detailed page covering these metal-on-metal implants on its website. The agency said it's "actively working in several areas to further assess the safety and effectiveness" of the devices, which have metal surfaces on both the ball and socket portions. Manufacturers include Johnson & Johnson's (JNJ) DePuy unit and privately held Biomet Inc...

...More recently, DePuy in August recalled an all-metal hip system called ASR after new data from the U.K. indicated an unusually high rate of repeat procedures.

There are also reports of a small number of patients with high metal-ion levels in their bloodstream, which could be linked to problems elsewhere such as the thyroid, the agency noted. The FDA wants to see manufacturer analyses of hip parts retrieved from patients to help it understand failure issues.

People react to metal particles differently, and it's not currently possible to predict who will have a reaction, what it will entail or when it could happen, the FDA said. The agency recommended patients with all-metal hips talk to their surgeon right away if they develop new or significantly worsening problems like pain, swelling, numbness and walking issues.

The agency also made detailed recommendations to surgeons, such as avoiding all-metal implants in patients with certain problems like suppressed immune systems or known metal sensitivity.
The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, which represents joint-repair doctors, said it appreciates the FDA's "thorough and well-considered look at the concerns surrounding the use of these implants." AAOS is holding its annual conference next week in San Diego, where all-metal hips are expected to be a hot topic."

Nursing Home Neglect or Abuse Signs & Symptoms

noreply@blogger.com (Peterson & Associates, P.C.) — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 20:46:00 +0000

Symptoms of Nursing Home Neglect or Abuse

Neglect and abuse can take many forms. The Office of the Inspector General has categorized several types of abuse sustained by the elderly in institutional settings:
▪ Physical abuse infliction of pain or injury, including sexual abuse.
▪ Misuse of restraints chemical or physical control of residents that is not in accordance with accepted medical practice or orders.
▪ Physical neglect disregard for the necessities of daily living such as food, water, bathing and basic care.
▪ Medical neglect lack of care for existing medical problems such as ignoring a necessary medical diet, not calling a physician when necessary, being unaware of potential side effects of medications or not taking action on a medical problem.

There are several ways that you can file suit against an abusive or neglectful nursing home, including fraud, neglect, financial irregularities, failure to provide adequate care, wrongful death, breach of contract, pain and suffering, or failure to comply with nursing home statutes. One of the most effective ways to improve the lives of nursing facility residents is to take legal action when problems are discovered, in order to discourage the continued violation of basic human rights, as well as federal and state laws.

When someone you care about has been the victim of nursing home abuse, the problems can seem overwhelming. Peterson & Associates, P.C. nursing home litigation attorneys can advise you of your loved one's legal rights, tell you what remedies might be available, and what action to take.

Personal Injury Lawsuit Information

noreply@blogger.com (Peterson & Associates, P.C.) — Sun, 08 Apr 2012 13:13:00 +0000

Personal Injury Lawsuit Information

For nearly 25 years, Peterson & Associates, P.C. has been serving clients throughout Missouri who have suffered injuries as the result of another’s negligence. Our AV rated litigation firm is located in Kansas City, on the Country Club Plaza, and is dedicated to providing representation and aggressive advocacy for those who have been severely injured or the families of victims of wrongful death caused by the errors, omissions, carelessness or inattention of others, including medical professionals and drivers involved in motor vehicle collisions.
“Personal injury” is the general title given to civil wrongs (torts) that cause bodily injury or harm. A tort assigns responsibility to an individual, group or corporation (defendant) for causing injury to another person (plaintiff). The primary goals of personal injury law are to provide relief (damages) to the plaintiff and to deter the defendant from inflicting further harm to others.
More than 31 million people are injured in accidents every year, according to the National Center for Injury Protection and Control. As many as 90,000 die as a result of these injuries. A personal injury accident can leave you with medical bills, lost wages, damages to your person or vehicle, and a feeling of hopelessness. Victims suffer physical pain and mental trauma that may be permanent and life-changing. Physical personal injury can include disfigurement, loss of limb, permanent or disfiguring scars, disability, and loss of one of the five senses. Mental harm might include emotional trauma, mental anguish, embarrassment, loss of love and affection, or loss of enjoyment. Whether your injuries were caused by an accident, malicious intent, or a defect in a product’s design, production or labeling, you have the right to seek compensation for economic and non-economic damages.
A personal injury victim (plaintiff) can file a wrongful injury suit (tort) against the wrongdoer (defendant). Depending on the facts, different theories of liability may be pursued, including:
• Negligence an individual or company’s act or failure to act caused injury. Even if the act was unintentional, the defendant is still liable for damages.
• Intentional act a person maliciously or intentionally inflicted harm or caused death. A tort claim can be brought and criminal laws may also apply.
• Strict liability this legal doctrine may apply to a manufacturer whose product failed to meet certain safety standards. The manufacturer of a defective product can be held liable without a finding of fault.
According to the law, personal injury victims are entitled to compensation for the plaintiff’s breach of duty or violation of some right. If the jury finds the defendant liable for negligence or wrongful conduct, then you will be entitled to receive plaintiff damages.
Damages can be economic (for lost wages or medical expenses), non-economic (for pain and suffering), and punitive (to punish reckless behavior). Punitive damages are usually awarded only if the defendant’s actions were so heinous that the judge believes it necessary to make an example of the defendant. If your injury was caused by a defect in a product’s design, production or labeling, any or all parties involved in the manufacturing chain may be liable for damages.
While some personal injury suits may be based on intentional acts such as assault and battery, most claims are due to negligence. To win your case, the four critical components of negligence must be established. These critical elements are:
1. The defendant had a duty to you;
2. The defendant failed in that duty (breach of duty);
3. You were harmed because of the defendant’s breach of duty; and
4. That damages resulted from the harm.
Only an experienced lawyer who knows Missouri’s complex personal injury laws, the court system, and individual rights can effectively prove your physical and/or mental injury under state laws.
In many instances, you can recover any medical expenses as a result of your injury, such as doctor and hospital bills, medications, therapy, home health care and all other related medical expenses, as well as any future medical expenses you reasonably expect to incur. You can also recover for the physical pain and suffering you have sustained, your out-of-pocket expenses, your mental and emotional anguish, your lost wages, benefits and other compensation, any loss of your future earning capacity, and the future diminishment of your enjoyment of life.

Depuy Hip Implant Recall | Hip Replacement Defect Lawsuit Help

noreply@blogger.com (Peterson & Associates, P.C.) — Fri, 06 Apr 2012 22:10:00 +0000

DePuy ASR™ Hip Replacement has been recalled. Read more information about DePuy Hip Replacements below. Please contact us to see if you might have a case.

Hip Replacement

DePuy ASRTM Recalled!

Recently, DePuy Orthopaedics, Inc. (the orthopedic arm of Johnson & Johnson) issued a global recall of two of its hip implant devices--the ASR™XL Acetabular System and the ASR™ Hip Resurfacing System. This recall of DePuy Hip Replacements follows a New York Times article on March 10, 2010, which revealed that DePuy Orthopaedics, Inc. had halted sales and issued an urgent safety notice for its DePuy ASR™ Hip device systems. Recently, the FDA issued a warning letter to DePuy for selling the DePuy ASR™ Hip Replacement and other joint products without the agency’s approval. DePuy sold around 93,000 of the DePuy Hip Replacement units.

About the DePuy ASRTM

The DePuy ASR™ Hip Replacement devices are metal-on-metal hip replacement systems. The natural hip joint is like a ball that fits in a socket. The socket portion of the hip is called the acetabulum. The femoral head at the top of the thigh bone (femur) rotates within the curved surface of the acetabulum. According to DePuy, the recalled hip DePuy ASR™ hip implants utilize a one-piece acetabular cup, which is a metal liner that replaces the acetabulum. With the recalled DePuy ASR XL Total Hip Replacement System, there are three components—1). The femoral stem is inserted inside the femur 2). The femoral head (or ball) connects to the stem, and 3). The stem then fits inside the acetabulum.

The second recalled ASR hip device—the DePuy ASR Hip Resurfacing System—utilizes two components: 1). A cap is placed over the natural femoral head and 2). The acetabulum is replaced with the one-piece cup.

Why is DePuy ASRTM recalled?

DePuy has announced that data received by the company shows that more people than expected who received the DePuy ASR™ Hip Replacement System experienced pain and other symptoms that led to a second hip replacement surgery. Information showed that five years after the DePuy ASR™ Hip Replacement implantation, approximately 12% of patients, or 1 in 8, who had received the DePuy ASR™ resurfacing device, and 13% of patients, or 1 in 8, who had received the DePuy ASR™ total hip replacement needed a second surgery. The recall means that monitoring and testing of DePuy ASR™ Hip Replacement may be necessary of individuals who have been implanted with either of the DePuy ASR Hip Systems.

Do you have a DePuy ASRTM Hip Replacement?

If you are uncertain if you have either of the recalled DePuy Hip Systems, contact your orthopedic surgeon. Your primary care physician or the hospital where the surgery took place should be able to provide you with the name of your surgeon if you can’t recall who performed the original surgery.

Symptoms of a DePuy ASR™ hip failure include:

• Unexplained Hip Pain

• Thigh Pain or Groin Pain

• Pain with Walking

• Pain Rising from a Seated Position

• Pain with Weight Bearing

These symptoms could be a warning that there may be a DePuy ASR™ Hip Replacement device failure, such as:

• Loosening of the DePuy ASR™ implant, which occurs when the implant does not stay attached to the bone in the proper position.

• Dislocation of the DePuy ASR™ implant, which occurs where two parts of the implant that move against each other are no longer aligned.

• Fracture of the hip bone, which is where the bone around the implant breaks.

A failure of the DePuy ASR™ Hip Replacement system could lead to the necessity of a second hip replacement surgery, known as a revision surgery. DePuy advises that regardless of whether you are suffering from the above symptoms, you should schedule a follow-up appointment with your surgeon as soon as possible.

If you or someone you know has been implanted with a DePuy ASR™ Hip Replacement System or you have undergone or are scheduled to undergo a revision surgery of the DePuy ASR™ Hip Replacement, you may be entitled to compensation.

Zoloft® & Birth Defects

In recent studies, researches have discovered that the use of Antidepressants medications such as Zoloft taken during pregnancy may potentially increase the risk of severe birth defects such as cardiac defects, persistant pulmonary hypertension in newborns (PPHN) neural tub defects, craniosynonstosis, anal atresia, cleft lip, cleft palate, and limb malformations. Fifty percent of the women taking the medications were not notified that the drugs they were taking put their baby at risk for birth defects.

If your child was born with a Cleft Lip or other birth defect, a medication such as Zoloft, Paxil, Celexa, Lexapro, Topamax or Depokote may be to blame.

Symptoms of a DePuy ASR™ hip implant failure include:

• Unexplained Hip Pain

• Thigh Pain or Groin Pain

• Pain with Walking

• Pain Rising from a Seated Position

• Pain with Weight Bearing

These symptoms could be a warning that there may be a DePuy ASR™ Hip Replacement device failure, such as:

• Loosening of the DePuy ASR™ implant, which occurs when the implant does not stay attached to the bone in the proper position.

• Dislocation of the DePuy ASR™ implant, which occurs where two parts of the implant that move against each other are no longer aligned.

• Fracture of the hip bone, which is where the bone around the implant breaks.
