What’s Happening with Paraquat and Parkinson’s Lawsuits?
At present, several research studies have indicated that paraquat exposure can increase the risk of developing Parkinson’s disease for certain groups of people. While this illness can often progress slowly, no one wants to battle its agonizing symptoms. They can include loss of coordination, tremors, fatigue, speech difficulties, and other challenging issues. Unfortunately, America is one of the few major countries that still use this pesticide.

MTA Bus Accidents Injuries Rise as Ridership Increases in New York City
Now that pandemic job losses are less common and New Yorkers are riding on MTA buses more frequently, accidents are starting to climb again. This not only poses a greater threat to those who ride on the buses, it also means that every pedestrian must become extra vigilant while crossing streets and walking to their destinations.

How To File A Lawsuit Under The NY Adult Survivor Act
New York Governor Kathy Hochul recently signed this bill into law. As noted on the governor’s website, the statute creates a one-year “lookback window” to help adult sexual assault survivors pursue the justice they could not find in the past. As of November 24, 2022, survivors who were at least 18 years of age when sexually assaulted will now have an additional year to file their lawsuits against those responsible for their abuse. This statute reminds many of New York’s progressive Child Victim’s Act; that law made it possible for those abused as young children to seek justice back in 2019. The Office of Court Administration states that over 10,000 cases were filed after that “lookback” window was opened. The following information answers key questions you may have regarding the types of sexual assault offenses covered by the New York Adult Survivor Act (ASA), the short- and long-term injuries that

And today, we’re talking about Exactech. On April 7th, 2022, my birthday, a company announced that there was a recall on Exactech knee replacements. And the reason for the recall was because there was a part, just one part, a component of the knee replacement system that was defective. And it was in fact dangerous. And that part was the cushion, the tibial insert. So this is a knee, and you could see that the human knee has a cushion. Sometimes when you have arthroscopic surgery, there’s a meniscal tear. And so
