Z-Pac, Cardiovascular Risk and Medical Malpractice

When I get sick, I assume an antibiotic will solve my problems. I’m slightly allergic to amoxicillin. Zithromax, Z-Pak (Z-Pac, I’ve seen both), Zmax, or any similar antibiotic to treat bacterial infections is my drug of choice for ear infections, strep throat, pneumonia, traveler’s diarrhea, or other intestinal infections.

There are risks with any drug. You have been told that time and time again. But if you are like me, you just want to feel better and you have a history with antibiotics of doing just that.

A new study underscores that maybe we should slow our roll in racing to get Zithromax. Because the study suggests that the potential side effects are more than just theoretical and can increase the risk of heart problems and death. This gets my attention. Because I’d rather be sick than dead.

Minnesota Personal Injury Settlements

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

A Jury Verdict Research study found that the median award in Minnesota in personal injury cases is an even $30,000. Minnesota personal injury plaintiffs receive an award in 67 percent of cases that go to trial.

The median compensation in Minnesota is somewhat below the national median of $38,179. I suspect Minneapolis, St. Paul, and Rochester verdicts inflate that average a bit. But because Minnesota has no-fault coverage (or PIP) that we discuss in detail below in motor vehicle wreck claims up to $40,000 ($20,000 for medical bills and $20,000 for economic loss) that is subject to the collateral source rule, Minnesota personal injury lawyers tend to have few small cases in Minnesota.

In other words, Minnesota law provides that awards are offset by collateral source payments (if the source of reimbursement does not have a subrogation right). So the gap between Minnesota’s median and the national median verdict is probably wider than the numbers reflect. Not surprisingly, U.S. Chamber of Commerce data found Minnesota juries to be the “15th best,” which means the 15th worst for personal injury victims.

When Can You Sue for Emotional Distress

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

Emotional distress or emotional harm can often be just as painful as a physical injury. This post will provide a detailed, reliable answer to the very common question of when someone can file a lawsuit and get damages for emotional distress.

What is Emotional Distress?

Emotional distress is a legal term that is used to describe mental pain, suffering, or anguish that is caused by the negligent or intentional actions of someone else. Tort law in the U.S. generally recognizes emotional distress (often referred to as “pain & suffering”) as a type of injury for which monetary damages can be awarded. In most states, however, damages can only be awarded for emotional distress if the emotional distress is directly caused by physical harm.

Virginia Personal Injury Law and Settlements

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

On this page, we will examine Virginia personal injury lawsuits and their settlement value. We will explain some of the basic rules of tort law in Virginia, such as what types of damages plaintiffs can get and how long they have to file their case. We will also explore the average settlement value of personal injury lawsuits in Virginia.

Statute of Limitation on Virginia Personal Injury Lawsuits

In Virginia, most personal injury, cases must be filed within two years of when the negligence occurred or the “claim accrues” (Va. Code Ann. § 8.01-230). If you don’t file your lawsuit before the 2-year period expires, it will be legally barred.
