- Illinois Supreme Court Rules Medical Malpractice Damage Caps are Unconstitutional Today the Illinois Supreme Court ruled that limits on damages in medical malpractice cases are unconstitutional, as such caps violate the principle of separation of powers. The limits that were adopted by the Illinois General Assembly in 2005 infringe upon the power of the judicial branch. The 2005 law limited victims of medical malpractice to collecting up to $500,000 against doctors and $1 million against hospitals for pain and suffering. The ruling is a great victory for citizens and patients in Illinois. The Court’s decision was based on the Cook County case, Lebron v Gottlieb Memorial Hospital. The case involved a three-year-old girl named Abigaile Lebron who suffered severe brain damage as a result of medical negligence. In 2007, a Cook County judge ruled in Lebron v Gottlieb that limits on damages interferes with a jury’s power to award adequate damages for medical errors. This ruling brought the case to the Illinois Supreme Court. This is the second time in 13 years ....
- Toyota Recalls Millions of Vehicles due to Deadly Defect On August 28, 2009, a 911 call in San Diego finally forced Toyota to step up their inquiries into defects in thousands of recently manufactured cars. The call came from a driver of a Lexus sedan, manufactured by Toyota, who complained that the vehicle accelerated without prompting and was about to crash. Allfour people in the vehicle died in the crash. Before the tragic accident, Toyota received over 2,000 complaints of unintended acceleration. However, it was not until last week that Toyota finally expanded a series of previous recalls to cover millions of vehicles around the world that may have manufacturing defects. The company also stopped production and sales of eight models, including its popular Camry sedan. Toyota believes that the problems with its cars are from both loose floor mats that can interfere with accelerator pedals and a pedal that sticks when a driver steps on it. Until recently, Toyota was still claiming that loose floor mats were the only ....
- Weight Loss Pill Meridia Receives FDA Warning Saying Users have Increased Risk of Heart Attack Recently, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) added new warnings to the weight loss pill Meridia. On the same day, the European Medicines Agency (the European equivalent of the FDA) advised doctors and pharmacists to stop using the drug as the “risks…are greater than their benefits”. The FDA’s new warnings indicate the increased risk of heart attacks and strokes in patients who have a history of heart problems, such as heart failure, hypertension and irregular heartbeats. Public Citizen, a consumer advocacy group, criticized the FDA for not being tougher with warnings for the drug. Last year, the group petitioned the FDA to take Meridia off the market due to new data regarding risks of heart problems resulting in death. The group has estimated that Meridia was prescribed to a quarter million patients last year.

- Ethex Recall Lawsuits On November 7, 2008 Ethex Corporation, a subsidiary of KV Pharmaceuticals, issued a nationwide recall of five of its generic drugs. The recall was due to the risk that the pills contained a higher dosage of medication than indicated. These drugs were carried by pharmacies and wholesalers all over the country. Some patients received up to twice the intended dosage, and were hospitalized due to the overdoses. One of the serious complications from overdose of these drugs is arrhythmia, or abnormal heart rhythm. Symptoms associated with arrhythmia include dizziness, discomfort in one’s chest, shortness of breath, and lightheadedness. In some cases, heart surgery will be necessary to treat this condition. Since the November 2008 recall, Ethex has recalled all of their drugs. In January 2009, the FDA expanded the earlier recall to include 60 generic drug products manufactured by Ethex Corp, as the company may not have complied with ....
- Popcorn Workers Lung (Diacetyl) Lawsuits Diacetyl, a chemical used in microwave popcorn butter flavoring, is directly responsible for a nationwide outbreak of a rare respiratory disease impacting the microwave popcorn industry. Formally known as bronchiolitis obliterans, the disease is more commonly referred to as popcorn lung or popcorn worker’s lung. Workers who routinely breathe vapors from butter flavoring before adding it to microwave popcorn have developed shortness of breath, hardening of the lung tissue and other alarming respiratory issues. Avid consumers of popcorn may also be at risk. The damage cannot be reversed and the most serious cases of popcorn lung are life-threatening. Severe symptoms can occur suddenly but this illness is frequently misdiagnosed as asthma, bronchitis or emphysema. Symptoms to watch for include shortness of breath, weight loss, night sweats and fever. Contact an Experienced Attorney The Pintas Law Firm is currently investigating cases for ....
