Federal health officials recently proposed stricter warning labels for acetaminophen, aspirin and ibuprofen, again cautioning millions of Americans who take the nonprescription pain relievers regularly of potentially serious side effects. Recently, there has been an increase of incidence of liver damage due to over medication and even death. Some 200 million people in America take pain killers every day. Each year, over 250,000 people are hospitalized with medical issues related to the use of pain killers. The more serious incidences include liver, kidney damage, and death. This includes Tylenol, Advil, Motrin, Aleve and other pain medications.

Many people don’t realize that the great majority of personal injury attorneys work on a contingency fee basis. A contingency fee means that you don’t pay for the services of the attorney unless your case is won. This gives anyone, regardless of their financial status, the ability to hire the best personal injury attorney that they can find. Generally, the mark of the best personal injury lawyers are 1) Their case results and the number of large verdicts and settlements they’ve recovered for their clients and 2) Number of cases they’ve tried.  Although most personal injury cases end in settlement, there are times when going to trial is in the client’s best interest. There are many personal injury attorneys who do not go to trial, they just settle every case that comes their way. Stick with personal injury attorneys who will go to trial for you if need be.
