Our law firm is taking on new Truvada lawsuits and other HIV drug injury lawsuits involving kidney or bone injuries in all 50 states.

HIV drugs containing tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) are, we believe, putting patients at risk. This has resulted in HIV drug lawsuits from victims alleging kidney disease and failure, bone density loss, bone injuries, and other side effects.

Viread® and Truvada® are two of the first brand-name drugs developed by Gilead Sciences to treat HIV. Viread and Truvada both use tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF), a new type of antiviral drug that was one of the first effective treatments for slowing HIV.

Our law firm  was handling Philips CPAP machine lawsuits for injuries from the recalled Philips CPAP machine.

The Philips recall covered an estimated 3.5 million sleep apnea devices. A CPAP class action lawsuit with thousands of plaintiffs has been consolidated into a multi-district litigation (MDL-1230). So, every Philips CPAP lawsuit in federal court—filed in New York, California, Texas, or wherever—was consolidated in federal court in Pennsylvania.

After the settlement, we are no longer reviewing new cases.

Millions of families in the U.S. may have had drinking water contaminated with PFAS (per- and poly-fluoroalkyl) substances commonly known as “forever chemicals.” PFAS include perfluorooctane sulfonate (“PFOS”) and perfluorooctanoic acid (“PFOA”). These chemicals have been used for various industrial purposes for years, including use in firefighting foam products used to put out chemical fires.

Using PFAS around the country has led to widespread groundwater contamination. Exposure to PFAS in contaminated groundwater has been shown to cause cancer and other health conditions. If you have been diagnosed with cancer after being exposed to water contaminated with PFAS, you may be able to file a lawsuit and get financial compensation. This page will provide news and updates about PFAS water contamination lawsuits and our estimated settlement value of these cases.

If you have cancer and believe it was from PFAS exposure, call our PFAS lawyers today at 800-553-8082 or get a no-obligation free consultation online.   Our law firm makes it easy to sign up for a water contamination lawsuit and to get compensation.

This page examines AFFF firefighting foam lawsuits involving testicular cancer and their potential settlement value.

Aqueous film-forming foam (“AFFF”), commonly referred to as firefighting foam, has been used for a long time to extinguish fires fueled by gasoline and other chemicals. Firefighting foam contains high concentrations of PFAS, and new scientific evidence has linked PFAS exposure to certain cancer types.

Testicular cancer is one of the diseases that has been scientifically linked to occupational exposure to AFFF firefighting foam. Our lawyers like these cases. We think the link between testicular cancer and firefighting foam is overwhelming. Our attorneys also think these lawsuits have a strong chance of settling in 2025. If the defendants are going to target types of claims to settle, testicular cancer cases would be an excellent place to start.

I want to give you honest answers to your questions about the Suboxone lawsuits.

I’ve been reading over other lawyers’ pages, even our pages… I don’t think we are answering the real questions victims have, including what Suboxone per-person settlement payouts we expect for a Suboxone lawsuit.  So this is the inside story and answers to your questions about settlement and the possible timing for receiving the compensation you deserve.

The Cartiva toe implant is a synthetic cartilage device used to treat arthritis in the big toe. New evidence suggests that these implants are defectively designed and prone to failures that can result in pain, further surgery, and other injuries. Cartiva toe implant lawsuits are now being filed by individuals who experienced a premature failure of their implant.

We hoped to see Cartiva settlement payouts by 2025 as part of a global settlement. That has not happened. Unfortunately, this litigation is dragging on. But these lawsuits could reach a settlement at any time. You want to submit a case before that happens. So, if you have a claim, call us or another lawyer sooner rather than later.

Not many of these lawsuits have been filed.   But there are many more cases out there, and that is likely to change if there is no settlement soon. If you have a potential claim, call us today at 800-553-8082 or get a free consultation online.

A new study from NIH found that using chemical hair relaxers such as Softsheen-Carson Optimum, can increase the risk of uterine cancer by 150%. The publication of this new evidence has led to hair relaxer lawsuits being filed against L’Oreal and its subsidiary SoftSheen-Caron. The plaintiffs filing these lawsuits are alleging that the chemicals in hair relaxer products like Optimum caused them to develop uterine cancer (or related conditions such as uterine fibroids and endometriosis).

In this post, we will discuss the new evidence on uterine cancer and hair relaxer and the allegations in the lawsuits against L’Oreal regarding its SoftSheen Carson product line. We will also look at the potential settlement value of these cases.
