			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Pfizer Inc. issued a recall of 28 lots of birth control pills because of a packaging error that may leave women with an inadequate amount of contraception. As a result of the packaging error, some blister packs may have more of the active, or hormone-laden pills, some may have too many placebo pills, and some may have pills that are out of sequence. The affected pills do not pose any immediate health risks, but can leave women at risk for an unplanned pregnancy. When taken correctly, the pill is 99 percent effective at preventing a pregnancy, however, incorrect use of the pill can result in an unwanted pregnancy.</p>
<p>Pfizer says inspection failures are to blame for the faulty packaging. Women who are currently using LO/ORVAL 28 or Norgestrel/Ethinyl Estradiol birth control pills should use an alternate form of birth control immediately. A complete list of the January 31, 2012 recalled birth control pills can be found on the <a href="http://www.fda.gov/Safety/Recalls/ucm289770.htm">Food and Drug Administration</a> website.</p>
<p>Women who suffered an unplanned pregnancy while taking one of the recalled pills may be entitled to compensation for expenses related to the pregnancy. Victims may be able to obtain financial compensation for hospitalization, pre-natal care, medicine, lost wages from taking time off work to care for a child, pain and suffering, and other economic costs associated with an unplanned pregnancy.</p>
<p>Please call Estey Bomberger today for a free, no obligation consultation. Our <a title="San Diego Product Liability Attorney" href="http://www.personal-injury-attorney-in-san-diego.com/product-liability.html">San Diego product liability attorneys </a>know the devastating effects an unplanned pregnancy can have on both mothers and fathers’ lives and will use every resource we have to ensure our clients get maximum settlement results. All cases are taken on a contingency fee basis, meaning clients pay nothing until compensation is recovered for them.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Although Skechers claims Shape-ups will help tone your legs, buttocks, and core, many in the medical and fitness fields believe the shoes rocker-bottom sole is causing users to suffer serious stress fracture injuries. Shape-ups toning shoes alter the way a personal walks, which over time can put pressure on areas of the body that were not intended to bear weight. A bone that cannot support the pressure being placed on it will eventually break, or fracture (they are one in the same).</p>
<p>Stress fractures are tiny, hairline cracks in the bone and are often difficult to detect on an X-ray or CT scan. Some people may even dismiss the pain or discomfort associated with a stress fracture as post-workout soreness, which is why toning shoe users should be aware of the symptoms commonly associated with a stress fracture. Common stress fracture symptoms include difficulty bearing weight, swelling, tenderness or bruising around the affected area, and chronic pain while walking, running or executing normal day-to-day activities.</p>
<p>If you suffered a severe stress fracture as a result of wearing a Skechers Shape-ups, do not contact Skechers. Before talking to anyone about your injury, talk to a <a title="Skechers Shape-ups Stress Fracture Attorney " href="http://skechersshapeupsinjurylawyer.com/stress-fractures/">Skechers Shape-ups stress fracture attorney</a> at the law firm of Estey Bomberger.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Since being launched in early 2011, the Consumer Product Safety Commission’s online product safety information database, SaferProducts.gov, reports that more than 130 complaints concerning toning shoes, including Skechers Shape-ups, have been filed on the database. Consumers have reported torn ligaments, strained muscles, broken bone injuries, chronic tendinitis, and chronic pain as a result of wearing a toning shoe.</p>
<p>Since being launched in 2009, millions of toning shoes like Skechers Shape-ups have been sold. Commercials touting the shoes ability to tone legs, buttocks and calves without the need to work out have helped make toning shoes one of the fastest growing segments in the athletic footwear industry. Despite these claims, concerns over the safety of toning shoes has grown amidst growing reports of toning shoe related injuries.</p>
<p>Toning shoes feature a curved, elevated sole, which, according to manufacturers like Skechers, makes wearer’s muscles work harder. However, the shoes ability to simulate what some describe as walking on sand is also causing users to lose their balance and fall. Falls can result in serious injuries, such as bone fracture injuries, head injuries, back injuries, neck injuries, lacerations, and contusions. In addition to fall related injuries, extended use of a toning shoe can lead to serious alignment issues, including torn ligaments and stress fractures.</p>
<p>If you suffered a serious toning shoe related injury, it is important that you keep the shoes and the packaging the shoes came in. The shoes and shoe packaging may be used as evidence in a personal injury claim. In a personal injury claim, an injured victim may seek financial compensation from the corporation responsible for producing a dangerous product. Although financial compensation cannot undo the pain associated with a serious injury, it can help victims with the various expenses related to a toning shoe injury.</p>
<p>The <a title="Skechers Shape-ups Foot Injury Attorneys" href="http://skechersshapeupsinjurylawyer.com/skechers-shape-ups-foot-injuries/">Skechers Shape-ups foot injury attorneys</a> at Estey Bomberger have recently filed a mass tort lawsuit against Skechers USA, Inc. on behalf of 37 individuals who were injured while wearing a Shape-ups toning shoe and can help you if you were hurt while wearing a toning shoe.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Victims of California construction accidents may be able to file a personal injury claim against the person or entity responsible for the accident. Workers&#8217; compensation benefits may not be enough to cover the cost of treating a serious accident-related injury, and victims injured through no fault of their own deserve maximum compensation for serious injuries. Oftentimes, victims are unaware of their ability to take legal action and do not realize that they may be entitled to additional monetary compensation from a third party.</p>
<p><strong>Talk to a California Construction Accident Lawyer</strong></p>
<p>Victims injured in a welding accident, scaffolding accident, trench accident, compressed gas accident, fall accident, industrial explosion, fire, forklift accident, machinery accident, nail gun accident or equipment accident should talk to a reputable California construction accident lawyer at Estey Bomberger. We can inform victims of their legal rights, options and obligations. We can also help victims file a claim correctly and within the time limits permitted by the state.</p>
<p><strong>Filing on Time</strong></p>
<p>Typically, the state gives victims two years from the date of injury to file a claim. Although two years may seem like a lot of time, victims must keep in mind that the process of filing a claim can be lengthy. If a claim is not filed two years from the date of injury, victims will not be allowed to take legal action against the person or entity responsible for harming them and therefore, cannot collect compensation for injury expenses. To prevent a claim from being denied, contact a skilled <a href="http://www.constructionaccidentlawyercalifornia.com/industrial-accident.html">California industrial accident lawyer </a>at the law firm of Estey Bomberger as soon as possible.</p>
<p><strong>Maximum Compensation for Injury Expenses</strong></p>
<p>Having an experienced attorney representing you can make a substantial difference in the outcome of your case. With a <a title="California Machinery Accident Lawyer " href="http://www.constructionaccidentlawyercalifornia.com/machinery-accident.html">California machinery accident attorney </a>at Estey Bomberger by your side, injured construction accident victims can rest assured that we will work tirelessly to recover maximum compensation for doctor visits, medicine, diagnostic tests, therapy, lost earnings from missed time at work, vocational rehabilitation, disability, diminished quality of life, mental anguish and physical pain.</p>

Please call our firm today to learn how we can help you file a claim. We offer free case consultations any day of the week, including weekends.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Despite being a known carcinogen (substance or agent capable of causing cancer), asbestos is still widely used in the U.S. construction industry. Asbestos is a set of six naturally occurring minerals known for their tensile strength, sound absorption, and resistance to heat, chemicals, and fire. These properties make asbestos ideal for the manufacturing of construction materials and for constructing buildings, however; if inhaled, asbestos can cause serious illnesses, including mesothelioma.</p>
<p>Mesothelioma is cancer of the mesothelium (tissue that lines the stomach, lungs, heart, and other organs). Mesothelioma usually develops in the lungs first but can begin in any one of the body’s organs. Individuals who develop mesothelioma have typically been exposed to asbestos particles over a prolonged period of time. The symptoms of mesothelioma are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Pain in the lower back or side of the chest</li>
<li>Difficulty breathing</li>
<li>Cough</li>
<li>Unexplained weight loss</li>
<li>Trouble swallowing</li>
<li>Muscle weakness</li>
<li>Swollen face and arms</li>
<li>Hoarseness.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Information About Chrysotile</strong></p>
<p>One of the more common types of asbestos used in a wide variety of U.S. construction products and materials is Chrysotile. Chrysotile accounts for approximately 95 percent of asbestos found in buildings, reports the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Asbestos Building Inspectors Manual. Chrysotile can be found in drywall, plaster, vinyl floor tiles, roofing tars, caulk, “popcorn” ceilings, thermal pipe insulation, HVAC duct connectors, countertops, and drilling fluid.</p>
<p><strong>Collecting Compensation for a Construction Accident-Related Illness</strong></p>
<p>If you have been diagnosed with mesothelioma and were exposed to excessive amounts of asbestos while on the job, you may be able to collect compensation for illness-related expenses. Talk to a trusted <a title="California Asbestos Exposure Lawyer" href="http://www.constructionaccidentlawyercalifornia.com/asbestos-exposure-mesothelioma.html">California asbestos exposure lawyer </a>at Estey Bomberger to learn what your legal rights are and how you can get the funds you need for past, current, and future medical care expenses, lost earnings, shortened life expectancy, diminished quality of life, and pain and suffering.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After a two-and-half week trial, a Philadelphia jury awarded an Akron, Ohio doctor and his fiancé $11.35 million in damages for injuries they sustained in a devastating plane crash outside Atlanta. The airplane accident verdict, which was one of the largest in Ohio, was against Winner Aviation, a Pennsylvania-based company that maintained the plane for Dr. Robert Marsico Jr. Winner Aviation was found at-fault for the accident after inspections of the Cessna Skymaster’s engines revealed improper maintenance and repair.</p>
<p>On August 8, 2007, shortly after takeoff from DeKalb-Peachtree Airport in Atlanta, Marsico and his pilot fiancé, Heather Moran, experienced engine problems and crashed in a non-populated area. The impact of the crash crushed Marsico’s legs and both Marsico and Moran were left with severe burn injuries after a wing exploded. As a result of the catastrophic airplane accident, Marsico cannot walk normally and Moran is no longer able to fly.</p>
<p>In addition to faulty repairs and improper maintenance, defective plane parts, poor plane design, and violation of Federal Aviation Administration regulations can result in a catastrophic airplane accident occuring. Although commercial airline accidents are rare, thousands of private aircraft accidents occur each year in the United States. These accidents leave many suffering from serious, debilitating injuries.</p>
<p>If you or a loved one were seriously injured in an airplane accident, you may be entitled to compensation for various types of damages associated with the accident and injury. To learn if you are eligible to seek financial compensation for injury expenses, please contact a <a title="San Diego Aviation Accident Lawyer" href="http://www.personal-injury-attorney-in-san-diego.com/aviation.html">San Diego aviation accident lawyer</a> at Estey Bomberger.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>TEXAS – An 89-year-old Corpus Christi woman, Bennie Garcia, was awarded a $6.4 million verdict for damages relating to a hip fracture injury she sustained after a sliding glass door slammed into her while walking through a building at Christus Spohn Hospital South. In her lawsuit against Christus Spohn Health System, Garcia claims her 2009 hip injury left lasting effects. The $6.4 million dollar award will cover Garcia’s medical expenses and compensate Garcia for mental distress, and pain and suffering. Christus Spohn Health System does not believe they were at fault for the accident and plans to appeal the verdict.</p>
<p>Premises liability accidents, also commonly referred to as slip and fall accidents, are usually caused by the negligence of a property owner or landlord. Property owners and landlords who fail to uphold their duty to keep premises free of dangers or hazards may be financially liable in a premises liability claim. In a premises liability claim, victims may be able to collect financial compensation for damages related to the accident, such as medical care costs, lost earnings due to time away from work, disability, and pain and suffering.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>SAN DIEGO COUNTY – Two brothers were mauled by a pack of dogs while running in Valley Center Sunday evening. The brothers, Richard Garritson, 21, and John Garritson, 20, were running with family members on a trail south of Valley Center Middle School when a pack of dogs attacked them November 27, 2011. The brothers fended off the group of dogs for nearly five minutes while their sister and niece ran for help. The young men are credited with saving the lives of their 18-year-old sister and 9-year-old niece. Richard and John were seriously injured in the attack, and were flown to Sharp Hospital for treatment.</p>
<p>According to a <em>10 News</em> report, the San Diego County Department of Animal Services seized and euthanized four pit bulls from a Valley Center home near the area where the dog attack occurred. The owner of the home had seven dogs on the property but could not account for all of the dogs at the time of the attack.  The owner of the dogs, whose name has not been released by authorities, may face criminal and civil charges if it is determined the dogs responsible for the attack belonged to him or her. California is a strict liability state, meaning the owner of a dog is liable for damages suffered by any person who is injured by his or her dog, regardless of whether the owner acted negligently or not.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>SAN DIEGO COUNTY – As of 6 a.m. Friday in San Diego County, the California Highway Patrol (CHP) had made 33 suspected drunk driving arrests over the Thanksgiving holiday. According to the CHP, the number of arrests had increased slightly over the number of arrests made last year during the same time period (6 p.m. Wednesday to 6 a.m. Friday). Statewide, the number of suspected drunk-driving arrests – 481 – was down from last year’s 520 arrests, reports <em>CBS 8</em>. There were no drunk driving accident fatalities reported in San Diego County, however; 10 fatalities were reported statewide.</p>
<p>In 2009, 1,118 people were tragically killed in alcohol-related accidents across the state. Nationwide, more than 12,000 people tragically lost their lives in drunk driving accidents in the same year. According to Mothers Against Drunk Driving, every minute, one person is injured in an alcohol-related crash in the U.S. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration considers an accident to be alcohol-related if at least one person involved in a crash has a blood alcohol concentration level of .01 or higher (the legal limit is .08).</p>
